About The Last Guardian

The Last Guardian is a third-person platform, puzzle, and adventure game released for PS4 on December 6, 2016. It was developed by Team Ico, SIE Japan Studio, and genDESIGN and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game is designed for single player and carries an ESRB T (Teen) rating and a PEGI 12 rating.

The story takes place in a large, ruined valley and centers on a boy who must work with a huge, animal-like creature. The player guides the boy through towering structures and tight spaces, where the two must cooperate to move forward. The action theme is present, but much of the experience focuses on solving problems and navigating the environment together.

Trust and companionship are at the heart of the game. The creature starts out wary, and the relationship between the boy and the creature develops over the course of the journey. The game is presented as a single-player adventure with a third-person view that keeps the boy and his companion in frame as they explore.
