Abstract: After beating Shadow of the Colossus for the fifth time, I began to come to terms with the fact that I'd never play another game quite like it again. Even if the same team came together for a new project, they would never be able to recapture the magic of...

Trico is a fantastical creature that truly feels alive, Great pacing with many surprising and emotional moments, Stellar level and puzzle designs that are just challenging enough to be fun

The relationship at its core is wonderful, Lovely score, The cooperative nature of its gameplay is really interesting…
until it becomes a constant hassle thanks to a disobedient AI character, Character movement is flimsy and clunky, Camera is unbearable at times
The Last Guardian's story is moving and beautifully told, but the poor execution of its dated mechanics hold it back from the greatness of its predecessors
