The Last Guardian Review
Shadow of the colossus fans, gather around; they are making another legend. And this time there’s no hanging up, they are going to launch the slowly evolving game on PlayStation 4, the long waited and adored “The last Guardian ” is coming your way at full speed, it is expected to hit as hard as a meteor in 2016. I personally have waited a long time for this game, they said they would launch it in 2009 once and they never did, its 2015 now and I wonder how much they have leveled up the idea. I mean it would be really embarrassing if it took five years to make the game and still it ended up disappointing the fans. This long waited impact to the gaming world has an emotional aura to it; the bond between a boy and a weird giant creature (who’s cute in its own unique way) gives the game all its grace. The director of the game expected something rather foolish as a reaction from the game, he expected people would forget about the unique idea but they didn’t, its 2015 and we are still waiting. The fans want this meteorite to hit the ground now; they are tired of the sirens blowing. This game will be a great hit(It would be obvious even to a banana) because of the emotional touch they’ve given it, it can create a pet fantasy I think; who wouldn’t want a giant pet that is so innocent and sweet, even shepherds would want to play the game. It’s something that grasps your interest without any problem and makes it dance like a girl without control when she’s dancing with her crush, long waited lovers meet.
Its ancient and beautiful, the landscape, the trust and the friendship between something human and inhuman. The ancient long destroyed ruins get you excited even more when a boy and his pet are running around them facing unknown dangers. The moment when the boy jumps across the endless depths of the ancient valley, trusting in his friend that he would catch him, is truly remarkable. How the two cooperate and reach a goal, amazing, just amazing. Even if don’t tell you to, you will play it if you can. We shall all enjoy the ride once it’s here. The name “The last guardian” tells some of the story, only time can tell who’s the last guardian, the creature or the boy. A guardian, a guardian of what? The creature? Or something that lies in the depths of the ruins? We don’t know yet (that’s the fun of it).
