The divide between the highs and lows of The Last Guardian is staggering. For every wonderful moment of absolute beauty and emotional attachment to its lifelike companion, there’s an equal and opposite baffling moment that ruins the mood with frustrating controls and camera angles. But I found myself willing to put up with all of these hiccups if it meant experiencing any of its multitude of incredibly-beautiful moments.

The Last Guardian is beset by performance problems, camera complaints, and feline frustrations, and your enjoyment of the game will to a large extent hinge on how much these bother you. Some will probably find that these flaws get in the way of the game as a whole, but for our part The Last Guardian’s undeniable accomplishments were enough to overcome the occasional frustration. The beautiful world, thrilling platforming, and tense combat alone would make the game worth playing, but it’s Trico that makes The Last Guardian one of this console generation’s best. The dynamic, organic relationship between boy and beast is unlike any that’s come before, and feels like a pivotal moment in gaming’s development as a medium. Yes, The Last Guardian is flawed. But it’s also powerful, unique, and just may be unmissable.
