Hidden in nooks and crannies throughout the game are glowing barrels, which can be fed to Trico as a nice little snack. These also count as collectibles, unlocking new costumes for the boy depending on how many you find. However, the way you take care of Trico actually factors in to how often she listens to you. On one hand, it does feel like you’re interacting with a real animal with its own thoughts and motives, but from a gameplay perspective it can be quite annoying. Sometimes she’ll want to do her own thing (like roll around in a large puddle) instead of what you tell her to. Trico’s AI is designed to feel like a real animal, meaning she won’t always listen to you right away. For some, this is going to be a huge frustration.
THE LAST GUARDIAN GAMEPLAY REACTION HOW TO
Calling her by name is simple enough, resulting in her coming to your position, but learning how to teach her to jump, climb, and interact with the world around her can be quite challenging. You’ll spend the early hours of the game trying to discover how to communicate with Trico so that she can aid you in your quest. Since Trico is a wild animal, she doesn’t exactly speak the same language as the boy. You’ll have to use both characters together in order to navigate this mysterious land, which (for the most part) is an incredibly rewarding experience. Trico can be used to usher the boy across large gaps, over great barriers, and smash through otherwise impenetrable defenses throughout the world. The boy can pull switches to manipulate the environment, push objects along tracks, and climb certain surfaces or squeeze through narrow passageways. The vast majority of the game is centered around platforming and solving puzzles. For others, it will give you a glimpse of a special type of bond you may not have been able to experience firsthand. For some, this will bring up warm memories of raising your own pets. I’ve never seen a video game that makes you care for an animal as immediately and powerfully as The Last Guardian. There were several times I found myself talking to my television screen, or taking pause from progressing further just to play with Trico or simply pet her. With the believability of Trico being as incredible as it is, you as a player start to bond with her too. They must both rely on each other in order to traverse the environment and its obstacles, but their connection builds beyond just a mutual need of the other. Like all great stories of young children and their pets, this is also a tale about friendship. In fact, I would even go as far as declaring Trico the most expertly animated creature to ever be featured in a video game.Īt the core of this experience is the bond formed between the boy and Trico. Everything from her mannerisms and personality, to the way she capers and cavorts through the environment is mesmerizing.
Trico is a peculiar specimen, resembling both a bird and a dog, but she’s also an instantly lovable and believable creature. Accompanying him on his journey is a large and majestic beast named Trico. Fortunately, he isn’t alone in this endeavor.
THE LAST GUARDIAN GAMEPLAY REACTION FULL
Upon waking in a strange and mysterious world full of decrepit ruins, towering fortresses, and magical suits of armor, a young boy is tasked with braving untold dangers in order to return home. Whether or not this game would ever see the light of day has become a joke over the years, so being able to finally play it through to completion and sit down to write my thoughts is a strange experience indeed. Now, after a decade of delays and development issues, The Last Guardian has finally released. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but I’ve been heavily anticipating The Last Guardian ever since early render footage was leaked in 2008. Writing this review is one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
