Forget about all the drama and complaints from this game being delayed for so long, this is in my opinion a modern masterpiece that beautifully portrays and builds a bond between a child and a creature (Trico). The setting of the game is mysterious and incredible to look at and experience, as well as being right in line with the previous Team Ico games.

Level design is great and I have to take my hat off to the devs and Fumito Ueda for adapting levels to accommodate both your character (boy) and Trico which are disproportionately different in size and behavior. The same applies with the general progression and puzzles found in the game which involves both characters. The general exploration has a vertical component to it and is handled very well through dramatic camera angles. If there's one criticism that I have is the occasional botched controls and interaction with Trico which can be bothersome, as well as some odd camera angles encountered every now and then.

With that being said, the overall journey is well worth experiencing; I was really impressed, pleased and moved by the overall story and ending in this game. A must-play if you are a PlayStation fan.
