Why did it fail to make any sort of lasting impression like Ico or SotC did?

it had no soul

Trico was a stubborn beast that was hard to command but that was part of the experience.

probably would have if controlling that dumb cunt wasn't so fucking frustrating

how did you play ico? I tried the ps4 version and the camera and graphics are far worse than I remembered

Development hell, it felt a bit too unfinished and unpolished by the time it came out. With Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, it felt like you had some OK control over everything. Last Guardian suffered from Trico just not responding that well and feeling like a crapshoot if he would finish an objective.

on pc via ps2 emulator

That was the point, he is his own creature that isn’t going to just do whatever you say. It was this feeling of working with something that had a will of its own that made the game so incredible.

Graphical downgrades and multiple delays leading up to the official release date.
In the finale retail releases of the game, Trico ends up looking like a featherless chicken rather than a cute hybrid between a dog and a griffin.
