I beat The Last Guardian!
That... Was quite a short game. Was it worth 10 years? Well... That's really up to you. I very much enjoyed my experience, but I'm an animal person, so bonding with your big beast friend while getting through puzzles is very appealing to me. There's some very emotional moments and I was scared the entire way through because Ico and Shadow of the Colossus weren't exactly happy games. To say if it ends happy or sad would spoil too much.
It is waaaay easier than Ico and I appreciate the hints the game drops if you take too long. Some things are honestly really kind of tricky to figure out, even with Trico and the boy looking to where they want to go. For the most part Trico is pretty good about obeying your commands, but I did wind up frustrated in a few places where it took awhile for what I ordered to register.
There's some weird places where the frame rate shits the bed and the game just chugs. With everything that's going on I guess it's understandable, and it is only a few areas, but way to kill the immersion.
Oh, and swimming is terrible. Since it's not a main part of the game they didn't really polish the segment where the boy has to dive to reach levers. He handles so poorly I'd be embarrassed if I worked on that part.
Overall, an 8.5 out of 10. I don't think I'll be replaying anytime soon but that was an experience I will treasure.
