#3: The Last Guardian
And here we are: the white unicorn PlayStation fans have been chasing for close to a decade now. The Last Guardian is first game by Fumito Ueda since Shadow of the Colossus. It appears to share much of the same DNA as that game, along with its predecessor Ico: a quiet, contemplative fantasy world featuring an adventurous young boy. Of course, there’s no Yorda this time around, replaced instead by Trico, a giant creature that looks like a hybrid of a… bird and a dog?
The game looks completely endearing, and involves controlling the young boy as he manipulates Trico as you would a real animal. There will be puzzles involved, much like Ico, and also like Ico, the pair will be escaping from baddies trying to impede their progress.
Will the game finally see its release date this year, after being missing in action for half a decade?
