10 "Hated" Video Games You Should Play In 2019
4. The Last Guardian
Running with Duke Nukem Forever as "Most Likely to Become Vaporware" for a time, The Last Guardian was in danger of never showing at all. When it did, it didn't really seem worth the wait.
The initial team splitting from Sony, as well as the move to a new format definitely showed, didn't do much to alleviate fans after the wait. Criticisms of it being lacklustre, aimless and not looking as good as initially promised began to build.
Dial it back though, and remind yourself: this is what Team Ico does. The first game, looking back, looks rough around the edges, and had a very sedate pace to it. Shadow of the Colossus, much loved as it is, has a few rough patches and a whole lot of nothing going on between colossi fights.
The point is, if you go into a Team Ico game expecting a barrage of action, you're doing it wrong. Hipster as it sounds, treat them like an experience, and lose yourself in the whimsy they bring.
Yes, Trico takes a while to tame, but stick with it.
