Third-person action adventure game created by the ex- of Team Ico, led by Fumito Ueda. Previously, the studio had made their name known by giving us two of the most original and highest ranking titles ever to be released on PlayStation 2: Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. Their new game retains similar artwork style and equally unique atmosphere. You play as a young boy trying to escape the guards pursuing him.

The Last Guardian (previously known as Project Trico) is another work from Team Ico, the developers of Ico and Shadow of the Collossus. This time the game is developed exclusively for PlayStation 4.
The Last Guardian lets you play as a young boy, it is, however, a giant, eagle-like creature accompanying the boy, on which the events focus. While the little protagonist, controlled by the player, is able to climb platforms, squeeze through holes, and make short jumps, there are numerous cases when he has to rely on his companion – either when it comes to moving an obstacle or reaching seemingly inaccessible places. Interestingly, the creature is with no doubt intelligent, has its own, unique character traits, likes and dislikes that have to be taken into . We can look after the creature by feed it, or remove arrows from its body, when it gets wounded. Furthermore, the creature may react differently, depending on where we touch it.
The Last Guardian stands out with its unique level design, whereas the environment itself is generated by a modern in-house game engine. Much effort was put into carefully implementing movements and appearance of the protagonist’s flying friend (e.g. feathers on its wings move in the wind), as well as preparing realistic physics simulation.

Ico, The Last Guardian, Demon's Souls, Patapon are all things of the past. In Sony's new reality, there's seemingly no more room for funding titles that resist Western trends and set their own.
genDESIGN finally reminded us of its new project. Unfortunately, the reminder was limited to a very modest teaser, which was posted by the developers of Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian.

Tom's Guide: 3 / 5 by Sherri L. Smith
The Last Guardian is a game about friendship that will test your patience with a wonky camera and controls.

I'm glad that Sony saw this one through. The publisher could've canceled it even in the face of fan hype, but it stuck with Team Ico and gave The Last Guardian a chance to wow fans. The final product doesn't feel like a 2016 game. Instead, it's this strange adventure that invites you to get lost in its world. I love that, and I think anyone who loved Team Ico's previous games will appreciate what they find here.
