The Last Guardian Review<\/b><\/p>\n
Alex the Kidd, Gamers of the Round Table<\/span><\/p>\n From the makers of <\/span>Ico<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Shadow of the Colossus <\/span><\/i>comes a new adventure from the team at JAPAN Studio. \u00a0<\/span>The Last Guardian<\/span><\/i>, a title under development for the better part of a decade, arrives to the PS4 an entire console generation later than anticipated. \u00a0The question is whether this title lives up to its long anticipated release. <\/span><\/p>\n The Good<\/b><\/p>\n The Last Guardian<\/span><\/i> is a beautiful game. \u00a0The details put into Trico, the large feathered beast, clearly show the dedication that went into this project. \u00a0The environment is massive in scale to both characters, and players can feel completely immersed in the world of the game. \u00a0Each set piece requires the characters to work together to overcome the obstacles placed before the player; taking direct control of the young boy, players will attempt to guide Trico to progress through the game. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The bond between boy and beast develops through the player\u2019s success, and communication improves between the two. \u00a0The challenge in many parts of this game comes from communicating with Trico, and getting him to perform the tasks that need to be done. \u00a0Players can feel a sense of accomplishment from achieving successful co-operation form the two characters. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Bad<\/b><\/p>\n The challenge in this game stems more from the ability to guide Trico then the actual level maps; what was made to feel like a creature that had its own attitude and intelligence can come off as a broken game mechanic at times. \u00a0This is especially true when you use all the methods to guide Trico, nothing happens, then you run around the area trying to figure something out, only to have Trico jump up onto the ledge you thought he couldn\u2019t reach in the first place. \u00a0The controls to guide Trico aren\u2019t user friendly, and can be difficult to understand exactly what it is you\u2019re trying to get Trico to do as the camera tends to pan to Trico as you give commands. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There isn\u2019t much to do here except move from set piece to set piece, and while they are beautiful to experience, the game can feel less engaging at the beginning. \u00a0There is little plot or drive in the game beyond working with Trico, and discovering more about the area where he dwells.<\/span><\/p>\n Rating \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n 7\/10 \u2013 <\/b>This game isn\u2019t for everyone, but it\u2019s not a bad game. \u00a0The Last Guardian is a well put together experience, with a few setbacks regarding Trico\u2019s response to command. \u00a0While epic in size, this isn\u2019t the next big adventure game; Players need to try this game to decide for themselves if it\u2019s a game they will love or not. \u00a0At the end of the day, Trico is a welcome member to the PlayStation family, and <\/span>The Last Guardian<\/span><\/i> an overall success.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Last Guardian Review Alex the Kidd, Gamers of the Round Table From the makers of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus comes a new adventure from the team at JAPAN Studio. \u00a0The Last Guardian, a title under development for the better part of a decade, arrives to the PS4 an entire console generation later<\/p>\n
