It's often not clear which ledges can be hung from, which bits of rubble safely stood upon, or which flailing leaps safely landed. I lost count of the number of times I wandered around aimlessly in some cavernous, cathedral-like space, looking in vain for what turned out to be one specific ledge or a small tunnel that was the only way through to the next area. Everything is so finely detailed and naturally designed that the way forward often isn't telegraphed in any meaningful way. Part of the problem is that intricate architecture itself. The actual puzzle-platforming gameplay required to explore those beautiful ruins had me tearing my hair out. Unfortunately for The Last Guardian, looks aren't everything. It's not enough to ruin the game's overall visual impact, but it was enough to take me right out of the moment a few times. I'm not usually one to demand an ultra-steady 60 frames per second in my video games, but there were quite a few busy scenes in The Last Guardian where the stuttering frame rate became impossible not to notice.

If there's a downside to all this visual detail, it is that it can occasionally be too much for even the PS4 Pro to handle.

I imagine the original PS3 version wouldn't have lightning that looked this nice. The animations feel dynamic and adaptive, conforming themselves realistically to the ever-changing topology of the ruins much better than the unchanging canned animation cycles found in other games.

Trico's animation makes him seem convincingly animal, whether he's sinuously crawling through a narrow passage, prickling his feathers up at a perceived danger, craning his neck at some random point of interest, or clawing and scrambling wildly at a quickly crumbling ledge. The unnamed boy runs and jumps with bare-footed enthusiasm-arms flailing wildly when sprinting or grasping for a ledge-then shows real pain as he limps after a nasty fall. The still and crumbling world around you is contrasted with the wonderfully expressive and lively animation of the game's few living characters. Seeing what new visual splendor lies around the next corner quickly becomes the main impetus to struggle your way through the game's puzzles.

Played on an HDR television on the PlayStation Pro, every scene has a vibrancy and range of visual expressiveness that's hard to equal in modern gaming (things look pretty good on a standard 1080p television, too). Much like Ueda's Ico and Shadow of the Colossus before it, The Last Guardian also benefits from a painterly use of light, which pokes through holes in the walls to reflect through cavernous halls and oversaturated outdoor scenes with a soft, otherworldly glow. You'll feel like you're trespassing on the ghosts of master builders, who placed every last stone with a sense of purpose you'll never fully understand but love examining anyway.

It's a world full of ornate symbology and bronze-age-meets-magical-realism technology that's all the stronger for never being even partially explained. Before I dig into what frustrated me so much about the game, I'd be remiss not to laud the architectural feat of that digital environment.Įvery broken brick, every rusted-over bridge, and every pile of rubble overgrown with weeds makes you feel like you're inhabiting the epilogue of a once-great civilization. The Last Guardian plays out as one big joint escort quest, with Trico and the boy working together to escape the extremely intricate ruins of a crumbling tower complex built into the side of a cliff.

Six years later, after finally completing Ueda's oft-delayed opus, I find that the main emotion I feel toward Trico and the game he inhabits is frustration. Links: PSN (US) | Amazon (UK) | Official websiteWay back in 2010, a full year after it was first announced as a PlayStation 3 game, The Last Guardian creator Fumito Ueda stressed to a Tokyo Game Show press conference audience that the key to the game he envisioned was developing an "emotional attachment" between the game's unnamed boy character and Trico, his three-story-tall, mythical animal-hybrid companion that combines elements of a bird, a dog, and a horse.
