Like everybody in the gaming world, we have been waiting for this game for a long time. So much hype went into this game and delays. I finally got to play it last weekend. It has flaws but the graphics on the environment and Trico are gorgeous on the PS Pro. It did borrow some mechanics from Ico and Shadow of Collossus, the company previous title (which was great). The flaws are sometimes when you call upon Trico he doesn't respond to your command. The puzzles are similar somewhat with Ico. This is my review so far from what I played. Too busy with work and my family.

It is the most unforgettable experience I've ever had with a video game. It's really something you have to experience for yourself with an open mind. Don't watch any trailers, or videos, just play it and let it take you for a ride. You'll love it. Everything down to the controls are designed to immerse the player and make us feel slightly vulnerable in order to make the journey seem more believable and the stakes seem high. This game does not hold your hand through platforming or puzzles. It's also not super difficult, but also doesn't correct your trajectory if you make a poorly executed jump. The game is mostly focused on telling an amazing story, but it uses platforming and puzzles as obstacles along the way to overcome and they're amazing. They give you a feeling of accomplishment when they're done, but it's nothing compared to the feeling you get from the story, and your companion, Trico. Trico is literally my favorite video game character of all time, and he doesn't even have dialogue (nor should he) Also, the game has amazing set pieces, incredible animations and physics simulations, and one of the most gorgeous art styles ever in a game. The graphics look amazing, especially Trico but the lighting as well. the textures and geometry maybe isn't the greatest but that's okay because it reminds you of Ueda's earlier games, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. I hope people love this even 1/10th as much as I did. You'll see why quality is so much more important than quantity. I'd take 1 game like this over 10 of Witcher 3'sRead full review

I like this game very much. This game pulls my heartstrings because it is spellbinding and a beautifully illustrated. Tricco the birddog and the little Boy elicit happiness and tears throughout their journey. As I played this masterpiece of a game more and more, I became attached to both of them. It is a tragic, turbulent, adorable and loving story of a bond between two lost souls. I highly recommend this game.

This game is simply just amazing. I didn't even play it on PS4 Pro and it still looked beautiful. The story is awesome and has a very emotional drive to it, while still throwing in some intense action parts here and there. I definitely recommend this game!

It's magical, the creature friend is as living and understandable as any I've ever seen in a game. The play is consistently interesting, mysterious, and solvable, without being overly difficult. When stuck, it's usually because I'm trying something that just isn't supposed to work. And then the answer is more elegant or straightforward than I thought. But it isn't a button masher or a shooter, so don't get this if you are into intense action all the time. It's more of a puzzler/living movie experience. In my opinion, it's designed to be played "as if" it's real, in real time. Listen to your beast, watch him/her, trust it. But don't expect it to solve the game for you, it's just a pretty smart animal - you're the hero.
