Because while the game does display the magic that has earned the studio's previous efforts their spots as modern classics, players may be unable to forget the technical and mechanical shortcomings after a decade worth of iteration. The tale of the troubled development is constantly there, a dark cloak over the experience, and it does, despite our best efforts, have an effect on the way you perceive it."
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
Friendship is hard to depict accurately, but The Last Guardian does a good job of showing all its ups and downs through Trico and the boy.
I enjoyed the game but it started out too simple and easy. If the entire game was as intense and challenging as the last 20% it would have been a 10/10 experience.
I managed to grab the collectors edition for £40 about a year after it released. Was an enjoyable game, but I had just finished Shadow of the colossus, and whilst I enjoyed it, it was not as good when compared.
To better understand why The Last Guardian's Trico clicked with some gamers and annoyed others, this article will explore the story behind the beast to see what makes it tick. Although a somewhat polarizing figure, Trico is a unique element of The Last Guardian that is equal parts captivating and mysterious. While some appreciate the beast's realism and unpredictability, other found the strange creature to be a tad too frustrating.
This like their previous games will have it's audience. The first two were not high sellers but remain classics in their field, this formula may not appeal to the 'new entitled gamer' but will have an appeal to those who loved the previous two and thats a good thing, keeping that sense of what made them unique instead of bowing to modern wants (not needs) helps keep variety in the gaming market. I mean they could have made it 1st person and stuck a gun it his hands and that would have attracted many players on its own, stuck a jet pack on the back of the animal and bam, modern game, sorry, I jest.
Wow Sony has a lot of exclusives coming out soon. Horizon and Spider-Man next. Diverse always win 🙌
RIP Team Ico. Sony should buy a studio that meets deadlines instead like Level 5 or Tri-Ace.
I expect it doesn't even sell as well as Gears 4. Although I loved SoC, I don't expect the same amazement considering the biggest part of that game to me was how large the characters were.
Most awaited game.
