I initially thought about making a long rant post about it but I guess I just want to understand what makes it such a critically acclaimed game.
THE LAST GUARDIAN GAMEPLAY MOST RECENT PS4
It might be my least favorite PS4 game I've played, at least physically.

THE LAST GUARDIAN GAMEPLAY MOST RECENT FULL
Spaces: The Boy is easily able to escape from the Armored Tricos by hiding in spaces that the beasts cannot reach him through.I just finished this game yesterday and full disclosure, I didn't like it.Loss of leadership: When the Master is killed, the Armored Tricos lose control of themselves due to the Master's severed magic through their horns and armor, leading to their defeat.It is unknown if the other Tricos are capable of this. Lightning Tail: Through the wound in his tail, Trico is capable of emitting electricity when the Mirror emits a light.When under the Master's control, the eyes emit only the color of pink, as they are always hostile. Eyeshine: The eye color of the Armored Tricos change depending on their mood: black when neutral, white when excited, yellow when alert, or pink when angered/hostile.Body Armor: The Armored Tricos are equipped in armor that protects their heads and back from enemy attacks.Flight: The Armored Tricos have large wings that let them fly around.Regeneration: The Armored Tricos have a very fast regenerative body, able to withstand brutal situations that would easily mutilate or even kill them, and are able to regrow severed limbs, including tails.Agility: Despite their large size, the Armored Tricos can move at a very fast pace.Strength: The Armored Tricos are extremely powerful monsters, capable of taking down groups of small enemies with ease.However, the Armored Trico that had its horns broken earlier survived, calling out to the wounded Trico as he flies the Boy back to his village. The powers of the Master gone, the control over the beasts is released, causing them to disorderly plummet from the Citadel and sky to their deaths. While most of the swarm fly across the Citadel, the ones that land on the Citadel either chase after the Boy or hold down Trico when he attempts to protect the Boy, one of whom bites off his lightning-enhanced tail.įortunately, the tail is thrown into the Master's chamber, where even severed the tail could still shoot lightning, and the Boy used the Mirror and the tail to break through the Master's shield and destroy it once and for all. When they make it to the top of the Citadel tower, the Master calls in all remaining Armored Tricos to the area, surrounding the Citadel. With its Nest guardian taken out, the Master decides to instead wait for the Boy and Trico to come closer to it in an attempt to ambush them. The third and final encounter is on top of a drawbridge, where it nearly managed to kill Trico due to its enhanced armor giving it an advantage, but it was defeated when the Boy dropped an exposed minecart onto its head, breaking its horns and freeing it from the Master's control, causing it to run off. It attempts to claw the Boy out until the Master's force instructs it to leave through a trapdoor. Despite its best efforts, the Boy manages to avoid it and nearly escapes in a caged elevator, though the Armored Trico manages to rip it off its chain. The second occurrence happens when the Boy finds the Armored Trico after being separated from Trico. The Boy and Trico would encounter this second Trico three times throughout the game: the first time when Trico is cornered on a cliff after the collapse of a towering pillar, pushing him and the Boy down into a previously explored room. While hostile at first, Trico soon accepts the Boy's comfort and assists in his journey, defending him from the Armored Knights that patrol the castle for escapees.Īs the Boy and Trico traverse across the Nest, they soon come to realize that Trico is not the only one of his kind, as there is another Armored Trico in the nest with them, secretly watching the duo from a distance.

With the horns broken, the Master's control over Trico was broken, allowing the Boy to interact with the creature in order to find his way out of the Nest. However, this all changes when one Armored Trico carrying a child is struck by lightning on its way back to the Nest, clipping the end of its tail, breaking its horns, and crippling its wings. The Tricos followed the Master's controls through their horns, from a large antenna on the largest tower of the Nest known as the Citadel. Since a certain time in history, Armored Tricos served the Master of the Nest by abducting children from nearby villages known as the "Chosen Ones" for the entity to devour, rewarding the Tricos with barrels made of a blue substance.
