Reviews are out, 82 on metacritic. Wide gulf of scores from 6s to 10s. I read many and it seems like the positives is that this game nails the emotion and storytelling. The world is also very interesting. Puzzles were praised in some reviews and criticized in others for being simple and repetitive.

Negatives are the camera, stiff controls, bad frame rate. It seems to be a technical mess. Also this was said in many reviews, Trico will just sit there and not do the action he needs to perform to move on for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Whatever I’ll get it, I’m curious. I’m pretty certain I won’t like this as much as SOTC.

I may gift this to myself for Christmas, too many other things to play at the moment. Glad it didn't take forever to develop like FFXV. Nyaa

I have to wait.

I'm getting a PS4 bundled with Uncharted 4 and I'm also getting the Nathan Drake Collection.

I can't get the Last Guardian until some time later.

At all Best Buy stores?

My nephews want some PS4 games so we can get them two games and then have one game free.

They're getting a PS4 from their other grandparents.

So....just like the other games they made.

Yes, it's not bad, but it's no masterpiece to me. Just a shallow puzzle game.

I'd be regretting a PS4 as well now the Pro is out.  Better even, wait for the Switch!

It's not regretting it is they're getting. For some reason when I hit the space bar between they're and getting it didn't register on the computer.

I just got a new keyboard and sometimes certain keys don't work when I want them to work.

It looks more Ico than Shadow of the Colossus to me, so I'm going to wait to get it next year.

What's  the consensus?  Is this a must buy?  I almost bought it Monday but purchased titanfsll 2 instead.  How long is the game?

I almost purchased it but I bought Rocksmith instead because I've been wanting that game for a year.

Mash buttons during fail state to reload the level. Why is that a thing?

I played ICO a couple (maybe three times) but never got around to cracking the wrapping on Shadow of Collosus.

For whatever reason I want to play this one though.
