This is a adventure puzzle game. Each location has a puzzle to solve, then you can go to the next location. Eg, You are trapped in a cave, how do you get out? The story is good. Its about a small Japanese boy who wakes up in a cave with a fearsome monster.

Bought this game for my partner for Christmas so here are his thoughts. He said it's not the best of graphics and there are better games out there and it's not so much a game but an experience. It's about bonding with the creature Trico.

Despite its flaws, The Last Guardian is my favorite game I've played this year. The camera breaks immersion through some great moments and Trico won't always listen but that in no way outweighs the highs of the story and the connection I felt to my new pet.

Trico; Great Story; Impressive Action Set Pieces

Poor Camera; At Times Frustrating

Not quite up to the same standards of its predecessors, but this is still an emotionally draining and beautifully realised story of friendship against the odds.

Trico is an absolute delight and a breakthrough achievement in animation and game design; Clever level layout, beautiful artwork, and an unforgettable ending

Horribly frustrating camera; Some underwhelming puzzles and imprecise movement; Rare but serious bugs, and some frame rate issues on the standard PlayStation 4

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

Playing The Last Guardian reminds me a lot of playing Half-Life games: The actual moment-to-moment of working my way through the game involves an enormous amount of frustration and annoyance... but when I look back at it, all I see are the happy memories of the experience.

The Last Guardian provided one of the better stories we've had the pleasure of playing this year. Touching on companionship and trust, The Last Guardian's tale is both significant and powerful. That said, with a recommended retail price tag of AUD$99.95, it may not be the ideal game for everyone.

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

Fumito Ueda's PlayStation 4 title has been a decade in the making. From the game's exquisite animation to its emotional intelligence, it has been worth the wait

The Last Guardian was every bit worth the wait. The Last Guardian is a tale of young boy taken from his village and whisked away to walled ancient ruins, impervious to anything but the giant winged Trico – a part avian, part mammalian creature.

Realistic relationship; I want a Trico as a pet; please; Stunning world; Amazing design; Artistically inspiring; It's really here

Solutions can take a long time to discover; Trico doesn't always do what you need him to
