ICO and SotC received critical acclaim when they were released.

These impressions are kinda weird to me. I fail to see what's so awkward about the controls.
I'm not sure about Ico, but from what I remember many shadow of the colossus reviews mentioned frustrating controls and problems with agro AI, yet they still gave the game high scores, I suspect the same will happen with this, although I do expect it to receive a lower overall score
