If you're booting this game up with an urge to kill some bad guys, to be the hero protagonist that saves everybody, or mindless fun that doesn't make you have to think that hard, this game is going to fight back against you until you get with the program or quit out. You aren't a big, strong protagonist, but rather a helpless kid in a colossal, deteriorating castle with a small army of animated armor trying to get you. Both the environment and the people around you are out to get you and you can't fight back. This isn't a horror game, however, because it adds in the addition of Trico, the big birdcatdog. Trico objectively has no reason to help you but does so anyways because it takes a liking to you.
There's points in the game where you have to navigate the environment to help Trico progress but even then, there's holes in the wall that Trico could realistically jump through, and then you'd be abandoned. You need Trico to help navigate the massive, crumbling world that's far too large for the kid. You need Trico to fight off the armor sets. And there's really very little you're capable of on your own.
This world is gorgeously realized on the ps4 and exploring it alongside your companion is a treat. Trico itself looks incredible from the very obvious care that went into its library of animations to make it look real to the way different times of day light up its feathers just right. While I ranted about how players could be annoyed at how helpless they are, the game still does strike a gameplay balance of guiding Trico along because Trico more or less is as smart as a dog. Personable, but not that smart. The soundtrack is good but sparsely used; the game instead opts for the various ambiances of the wind/fire/wildlife/etc. matched with the various noises Trico makes.
To wrap this up, players who enter into this game not wanting to care about Trico are going to be in for a rough ride, as the game is going to fight against you the whole way. On the other hand, if you accept that you are the helpless kid and that you need Trico, then you'll find that Trico can help indicate where you can go when you're stuck by looking, pawing, and barking at the place. Funnily enough, the people willing to work with Trico and not just ignore it could probably find a way to progress faster than if they stubbornly searched alone. That's just the way they designed it.
