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.

The developer has yet to give a concrete update on the new project.Publisher: Sony Interactive entertainment GenDesign was formed in 2014 by former members of Team Ico, the studio that developed the first two games under Ueda. Again, this is still a little vague, but based on what we’ve seen in Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, all three games are somewhat interconnected in a larger universe, so if anything, it’s highly probable that the fourth game could be part of said universe. In the interview, he stated that this game will be “something on the scale” of his past three games. Though there isn’t much to go about with this upcoming game, we do know that Ueda did confirm that his team has been working on this project for a while now, as detailed in his interview with Famitsu in 2018 (via Gematsu). More artwork can be found on Ueda’s personal website, depicting the main characters from all of the previous games, including what looks to be a zoomed-out version of the fourth image, depicting a massive robotic arm.
