The last guardian (How do you feel about it now?)
- Thread starter Deleted member 5148

TLG is one of the most memorable and incredibly emotional games I've ever played, but I don't know if I could ever play it again. Just looking at Trico makes me want to cry! (I also think because the Trico's animation is so on point, it reminds me so much of a beloved pet that has since passed away, and that makes it harder again.)
I also always wonder if I did replay the game, would my Trico be the same? I'm weirdly heartbroken at the thought of replaying it, but not having 'my' Trico again.
My Trico was incredibly responsive, and I didn't really have an issues with him - the only time I had a problem was the cave where you have to tell him to dive underwater holding onto his back, and I think nearly every player had problems there. In my playthough, I always removed spears, cleaned off any blood, gave Trico pats - SO MANY PATS! - and fed him whenever possible. I still don't know if it genuinely change how Trico interacted with me, or whether it is just a placebo effect. (There's a post on the TLG subreddit about Trico's behavior changing on replays, but I don't know if more info has been found since.)

One of the best and most emotional games I've played in 10 years easily. The third act was something else- I never felt more helpless and angry in a game like that in my life
One of the best games I've played. Truly marvelous, emotional, and clever.
It's wonky in terms of mechanics but I've never had many problems with it. I understand that the game didn't work correctly for other people and that's unfortunate. Others didn't like it's design at all and I can understand that as well.
To me it was magnificent, completed it three times in a row.

A masterpiece - a magical experience.
Just frustrated that it never received any patches/updates. Just like Bloodborne.

Flawed masterpiece. I'll say i think it ended up being a good 3-5 hours too long but truly unique game and i don't think we will ever get anything like this again until uedas next title.
Easily in my top games this generation and honestly of all time. Nothing else like it, no other character like trico, amazing music and that last hour... woooow. Amazing! And yes i did cry lol

I've only played it the once but really enjoyed it. It's certainly not a top 5 all timer like SotC but it was still a really cool, unique game. Trico was just outstanding, I loved its behaviour and animations and forging a bond over the course of the game. It's actually been on my mind a bit lately, I might have to revisit the game and see how it holds up.
It received a PS4 Pro patch. Resolution was bumped up to 1440p and the very unstable framerate of base PS4 was also mostly ironed out on PS4 Pro.
Perfect first reply.
It's my game of the gen, but admittedly it's been a long time since I played it. I really need to revisit it sometime soon.
It's a game I don't often think about and couldn't play again. But it was my 2016 GOTY and made me cry several times.
I loved it, warts and all.

I had no expectations going in, heck I was tired of hearing about it , but absolutely adored every second in the game. Jank here and there didn't bother me.
I think the game is majestic

I'd like to revisit it again but don't have enough time to do so.
I liked what I played and still consider it a very good game, one of the best I've played on PS4.

Trico is a wonderful AI.
It's almost like a real living creature. Sometimes it'll refuse to hear you, it'll look at you like "uh ? What you're saying to me ?"

The worst game Sony put out in the last decade and the ultimate proof that console fans have no idea what they are talking about and should be ignored/mocked.
My little brother made me play it once. Went into it wanting the magical experience that it looked like through all those years. Playing it I loved its presentation and felt some of that which I hoped, but then kept playing and thought it was just an extremely tedious and boring experience, just shutting of the ps4 at some point and since then i'm just held off to play it. I never wanted to play it again.
Game is fucking beautiful but just really isnt fun to actually play

Still love and adore it. I felt it was the closest thing to mimicking an actual pet in videogames and it will remain special for that aspect alone until something trumps it. I tend to sell all my PS4 games as the years go by, but this one remains on my shelf.
What a masterpiece this game is. I can complain about controls or performance but honestly the complaints go out the window as you get sucked into the experience this game offers.
No game has ever touched me emotionally like The last Guardian.

I swear to God I listen to the soundtrack daily while working or writting essays
And no matter how many times I listen to it, I always have teary eyes when "Epilogue" comes up
The soundtrack is sublime, and should be mentioned everytime someone wants to discuss about the best soundtrack of the generation
The game was flawed. If Trico should be a dumbass sometimes and not listen to commands because the developer intended that way, we will never know for sure. But it made me mad, and still makes me mad when I try to replay this game
But the emotional connectional between the boy and Trico, oh man ...
I haven't experienced something like that with gaming since TloU
I'll always love this game

It's unlike anything I've played this gen, truly one of a kind experience.
Glad it wasn't cancelled.

I still absolutely love it. I've revisited it twice since it's original release. It will never not make me cry like a baby. I think about the bond with Trico, and my I feel my hear well up.
Absolutely awful game. It's built around a concept that barely works as a control mechanism, and that favored an empty emotional connection over actual usability.
Didn't even remember I have a physical copy of this game somewhere until I saw this thread. That should tell you just enough
Yeah this.
I don't see it being a game I could revisit. Kind of like Journey in that the one-off experience is quite special taken as it is.
The game is a flawed masterpiece. It's absolutely stunning and sweeping and I think it deserves as much love as its predecessors. There really is nothing else like it.
One of the top three games of this gen and probably the one that tugged at my heartstrings the most. Trico is an incredible creation.
I'm glad to see that not everyone in here is cold and dead inside.
I feel bad for those that it wasn't a good experience for. It's truly something special to me.
Legitimately, it's a story and experience I might carry with me my whole life. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but three years later, the soundtrack still makes me ugly cry. It's something I hope I can share with my children one day when I have them and hopefully they can appreciate it's beauty.

It was great imo. Flawed but amazing. I felt a real connection to Trico. I didn't really get much of the AI complaints at launch, took the occasional disobey as a feature idk. I know that sounds silly.
Loved it and the ending. Literally can not wait for ueda's next game
