The Last Guardian | Review | Gaming @ The Digital Fix

The Last Guardian is the story of a boy and his cat/bird/chimera. A PS4 exclusive, it comes from the same studio who brought us ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Ten years in the making, does it live up to the hype? The Digital Fix stocks up on kitty treats and bird seed, and heads into the ruins to find out.

"I can’t fully grasp why it felt like such an ordeal to play. "

The archaic controls, odd pace and reliance on Trico made it an ordeal. It's saved you its charm but that will vary from person to person.

Nyxus2737d ago

I would say the reliance on Trico (and his reliance on the boy) is kind of the point of the game.

Gazondaily2737d ago (Edited 2737d ago )

Yes but the way it translates into the game isn't exactly flawless courtesy if Tricos responsiveness (or lack thereof). The charm plays a big part in how much you enjoy the game. If you don't find Trico to be this loveable little chimera then it's just going to be a slog playing the game.

dennigo2737d ago

not click bait i feel the same way i haven't finished it bedcause it's infuriating controls bug me too much

UCForce2737d ago

People have different opinion about this game which I understand.

Fishy Fingers2737d ago (Edited 2737d ago )

Seems to split opinions which is understandable considering it's not a traditional game/genre and has some 'unusual' mechanics.

Can't conclude which side of the fence I'm on yet as I'm waiting to pick it up a bit cheaper.

Gazondaily2737d ago

Are you in the UK? I'll send you my copy if you want for free.

itsmebryan2737d ago

Wait, how do you get down votes for offering to give a total stranger a game for free? That is a nice gesture from one gamer to another. The people that gave the down votes please explain.

Fishy Fingers2737d ago

Very generous of you! But really there is no need, trade it in and get yourself something to enjoy :D

Cheers though!

KickSpinFilter2737d ago (Edited 2737d ago )

It's a great game, one that I keep thinking about and one of my favorite experiences this year in a game.
Yes the camera is a little wonky but once you figure out you just need to use a light touch it's really a non issue, for the exception of a few hallways. If you don't have patience this game is not for you. Trico is not very responsive at first much like a puppy or baby would be. But once you build a trust with Trico it's just awesome to see. Is it at the level of this years near perfect Inside...well no but that's ok. More like a 8.8 not a 5!

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 4h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 4h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 3h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing8h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken17h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper16h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 6h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 6h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 3h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
