Both Ico and SOTC have that quality in the games, you always have to figure out your environment and how to instinctively use it to your advantage and in Ico's case you basically try to get from point A to point B while escorting Yorda.

That's it, you don't have to grind or even follow any story dialogue you just go, go, go, no time for plot or new mechanics, just get through the castle and save the girl.

Why? because.. Reasons.

But though the story is vague this game has the charm SOTC has, there's enough mistique in the story to keep you intrigued through out the whole game and the ending is F*ckn epic just like SOTC so wthvr troubles you had passing the game is totally rewarded, Still, to fully appreciate this game you have to play SOTC.

i'll cover Shadow of the colossus tomorrow cause im actually drunk atm and im getting sleepy but before i finish i gotta say, from the gameplay The Last guardian is gonna play more like Ico than SOTC so i would advice playing Ico before playing TLG
