I awoke to find myself listening to a strange podcast...
Welcome back to NOCLIP, where this week we're going to be talking about The Last Guardian. The third game in what could be considered a spiritual trilogy of games including Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian similarly features a bleak atmosphere and an unassuming protagonist. The hook this time around comes in the form of a massive beast and the connection that you create with it over the course of the game. While the game is touching and technologically very impressive, the devil, as it usually is, is in the details of the execution. We're talking about puzzle design, questionable mechanical and UI decisions, and what type of thing it is more okay to be angry at: at person or a horse?
Thanks for checking us out again this week, and be sure you come back next episode when we talk about Hollow Knight!
