Don´t know about outdated, but I´m about 6 hours into the game and my main complaints are somewhat clunky controls and sometimes Trico just won´t listen, there was a section where he had to jump up and I spent nearly 7 minutes pointing in that direction, asking him to go there and nothing.This game is great but it´s also an exercise in frustration.

7 whole minutes, persuading an AI... I guess you never played Black and White :)
Did you try different approaches, distract him first, call him to move over somewhere else. I only had trouble with him once, until I realized I was using the wrong command, confusing him. Frustration to me is having to reload from unfair deaths, repetitive waves of enemies, impatient support characters and getting control taken away constantly cause we'll only let you do the easy parts. So far none of that in TLG.

It's not for everyone. Fights in SotC could last upto half an hour, painstakingly making progress then falling off again running out of grip strength. ICO has the regular attacks to keep you on edge, which could also become frustrating until you figure out where to leave Yorda and how to dispatch them efficiently. TLG has a learning curve too with the controls and interaction with Trico. And still it asks you to slow down and use a lot more finesse with the controls compared to something like Uncharted 4.

Anyway besides the controls, the game makes me smile, already teared me up with the music timed just right, already gave me more holy shit moments than Uncharted 4 and the sense of scale and use of surround sound almost makes me feel like I'm playing in VR without the headset.

Yeah.He even kept looking up in the right direction, as if he knew that was the right way to go, but nothing.Anyway, I reloaded the last checkpoint and voila it worked.Other than that kind of thing, I´m very much enjoying it, as I thought I would considering Fumito Ueda games are kinda 'special' in my book.I haven´t beaten TLG yet, but so far SotC remains his best game imo, though I´m enjoying TLG more than I did Ico when I played it for the first time.
