artificial beasts

The Last Guardian is a Playstation 4 game that was released a few weeks ago. The story of a collaboration between a young boy and a gigantic two-horned chimera, a mix between the look and agility of a cat, the reactions of a dog, and the wings of a bird.

The pitch may sound a bit sloppy, but the artificial intelligence of the beast is so well crafted that the empathy for this weird couple is just inexorable.

Please note that the game is not made for young children. Some scenes and reactions of the chimera can be pretty disturbing. And if you're a bit too sensitive, prepare to shed a tear or two while playing.
