Crytek has been experimenting with ways to make games more immersive by utilizing new tech for a while, whether it's the exceptionally good use of stereoscopic 3D effects in the Crysis games or impressive demos for Oculus Rift.

Engaging exploration; HIGS-view sequences are stunning; Some truly impressive sights--especially the dinosaurs; An immersive and involving world

Far too short; Slow movement; Controlling levitating objects is a challenge; Some obscure objectives and puzzles

Almost a decade. That's how long people have been waiting to get their hands on The Last Guardian , and I left the game untouched sitting atop my PS4 for three days. I'm sure you want to know both why and how, but I have not satisfying answer for either question.

Expansive; imaginative set pieces; Emotional; original story; Breathtaking imagery

Graphical bugs and sporadic framerate; Controlling Trico is ineffective and unnecessary; Tags

Yes, The Last Guardian's controls are incredibly archaic and at times can be entirely broken, but two days after finishing it, the story has stuck with me. Studio Japan has continued to show how it can do so much while saying so little.

Utterly captivating story; Trico behaves in a surprisingly lifelike fashion; Engaging relationship between boy and Trico; Excellent set-piece moments

Control scheme can be immensely fiddly; Getting Trico to do what you want at times is impossible

The Last Guardian can be breathtaking and moving at times while in other instances it can be frustrating and cumbersome.

The Last Guardian is a beautiful yet flawed game on the PlayStation 4

An incredible game, rich scenery and a strong musical score. Not your normal everyday game, very deep and measures emotion versus action. Well worth it for your gamer that needs something more challenging

Team members leaving the company. Hardware issues. Transitioning the project from Playstation 3 to Sony's Playstation 4 midway through production. Those are just some of the problems that plagued The Last Guardian spiraling it in to a 10 year production process.

Great style; good game length; charming; mysterious; PS4 exclusive

Not much to do after you finish

'The Last Guardian' is filled with bouts of frustration, but it's also proof that gaming is the most powerful medium for creators. I got to experience a genuine bond with Trico over the course of the game, and that can't be replicated elsewhere as it's dependent on actual interaction.
