Backstory;
After waiting for years keeping myself in the dark, away from potential spoilers, i bought the much anticipated title ''The Last Guardian.''
I was lucky enough to play Ueda san's SOTC on the ps2 and i knew The Last Guarding would have some of his magic in it. I sat down excited with my SO. I played the first few minutes and they were immensely intriguing. It was exactly what i was hoping for. But sadly for us, we had our beloved dog die in our backyard couple months ago. HIs name was Lero. He was about 11 years old and was adored, especially by my SO more than me. He was one of the most obedient dogs, didn't have an ounce of malice in him. It was painful to see him go right infront of our eyes.
Anyways, fast forward today and i see (minor spoiler ahead) Trico doing all manners of stuff that our dog used to do. Crying for help, getting stuck and giving the ''help me please'' look, making faces. I'm pretty sure every loving dog owner can relate to Trico at some point. As we played through, i could feel my heart skipping beats and i felt sudden wrench in my stomach. I could aIso feel the discomfort in the air. I pause the game and i just sat there speechless. It was so intense, even now, i'm shaking typing these words just thinking about it. Nothing, no other game had managed to evoke such powerful emotions than The Last Guardian.
I know this game is made with full of love and could feel it while i played through first few sections. I hope to gather the courage to get back to it in memory of my dog someday..and i'll play it for every loving dogs and their loving owners.
