The Last Guardian straddles the line between feeling old and feeling timeless

In 2005, development studio Team Ico released Shadow of the Colossus for the PlayStation 2. More than 11 years later, Team Ico has finally released its next game.

The Last Guardian is here. After announcing the game for PlayStation 3 in 2009, you can play it tomorrow on your PlayStation 4. If you’re wondering what the hell it plays like, imagine a mashup of Shadow of the Colossus and Ico — the studio’s first game. It’s all about escaping an elaborate ruins as a young boy while dealing with a giant, friendly beast named Trico who looks like a bird, dog, and cat all mixed together. That all comes down to puzzle solving and figuring out how to best use the capabilities of Trico, who is your new feathered friend.
