I still stand by my word that Team Ico is one of the very best in terms of character development and story telling. They’re absolute masters at it and have cemented that after I finally got to experience one of the games that started it all for them.
For a game that came out in 2001 and to have a story this driven and told on the level it did was absolutely incredible. It was so ahead of it’s time that it was almost unreal at times rather that was from a visual, performance or story telling standpoint. I was in shock at times and I cannot even begin to imagine what that experience was like for people playing it when it first came out.
I did feel like this story should’ve been expanded out a bit more though. I would’ve loved to have an extra 2-4 hours with this character.
And this may sound bold to a lot but as someone who highly supports video game remakes, I’d love a remake of this game at some point. I think this is a story and world that deserves to be remade, told and shared to the world all over again.
