Following the cult hit Ico and the industry phenomenon Shadow of the Colossus , Fumito Ueda and Sony announced a third title in the Ico series, The Last Guardian , in 2009. Following years of delays, silence, and a glorious re-reveal once the game's production had shifted from the PlayStation 3 to...

Sony's heavily delayed and one time thought to be dead adventure game features a truly remarkable relationship at its core. Some players may not want to see it through to fruition, though, as controlling dog bird rat Trico can be a real pain.

It took an eternity, but it feels surreal that you can head to your favourite retailer right now and ask for a copy of The Last Guardian . It's there, it's real and it's the final chapter in a trilogy we've been promised for close to a decade. How can this ever live up to expectations?

The puzzles are oldschool but fantastic | Staring at Trico's amazing feathered detail | Growing attached to the characters in this world

Trico's natural instincts might annoy some players | It has to end

This game is amazing. A tear-jerker to be sure but it is absolutely breathtaking. It will have you on the edge of your seat. Its beautiful in every aspect from the music to Trico's mannerisms, you will fall in love.

This game won many hearts and is very special in its own way. Story is great and gameplay is also very unique and challenging, its like you're training a dog in virtual world and at the same time a strong bond starts emerging between trico( birddog) and your character.

Probably the best single player game iv played in a decade. You'll instantly make a bond with the characters, they are incredibly likeable, innocent and lost , level design & art style suck you in and the puzzles keep you on the edge of your seat.

I've been waiting for this game since seeing the first trailers for it back when it was to be released on the PS3. Very visually appealing. If you're a fan of Japan Studio's Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and Rain, you'll definitely enjoy this game.

Last guardian is arguably the most ambitious game from the mind of Fumito Ueda and it delivers on every front. I was heavily invested from start to finish and blown away by the games visual art style. Visuals and superb A.I.

Does The Last Guardian live up to its lineage? Does it do its forebears proud? It does so much more. It is bold enough to step away from their hints and their mysteries and explore its own kind of wonder.
