Brute-forcing your way through a puzzle with a slow-to-respond animal who isn’t much help - well, it’ll get your blood pressure up. “brute-forcing,” is not a particularly enjoyable way to solve a puzzle under the best of circumstances. The process of solving them often comes down to trial and error - giving your big animal friend commands and hoping they’re the right ones.
The Last Guardian is a long, expansive series of puzzles, most of which offer little in the way of guidance as to how they should be approached or solved. The only thing that’s more irritating than trying to get an animal to listen to you when they don’t understand what you’re saying, is trying to get an animal to listen to you while you’re trying to solve puzzles. Trico is very nice to hang out with, but he can get confused sometimes and that makes spending time with him very frustrating. The entire game is predicated on the relationship between an unnamed boy, whom the player controls, and Trico, an AI-controlled giant mythological bird-lion-dog creature. The Last Guardian very accurately simulates the experience of having a dog without much training.
