Pros
Pro Beautiful environments
The Last Guardian is set in a long forgotten and ruined castle hidden in a valley called "The Nest." Everything about this environment draws you in. From the grandiose architecture to the beautiful vistas.
The colors in the game vary from bright and cheery, to dark and gritty. This helps contrast elements from the present and the past. So you'll often see things like lush green grass on top of a dark and worn-out structure.
Pro Great variety of puzzles
The Last Guardian is a puzzle game, and as such has a wide array of puzzles for you to solve. You and your companion Trico, will travel the ruins and often there will be a roadblock in the form a of a puzzle. The solution requires teamwork and involves finding/reaching a switch or destroying part of the environment.
Because each location is different, no two puzzles will be the same. One of the locations is a collapsing bridge and the puzzle involves you and Trico crossing it. Another is a tall tower you have to climb, but you have to figure out how because it's falling apart.
Pro Captivating soundtrack
The cinematic orchestral soundtrack is one of the best parts about The Last Guardian. Each musical piece uses a different mix of instruments, arrangements and tempos. One song will have a full orchestra furiously going at it, while another will have a lone mellow piano. Each one evokes a different set of emotions in you and helps paint the relationship between the boy and Trico. When you listen to the soundtrack after beating the game you'll vividly remember the scene or location a musical piece was used in.
Pro Holds up incredibly well
Titan Quest is over 10 years old now, and it is still widely played. It even saw a remastered "Anniversary Edition" in August of 2016, drawing in more players, old and new.
Pro You can choose the speed you want to play at
Titan Quest is unique among ARPGs in that you get to choose the game speed. You can be a leisurely player and take things slowly, or you can go hard and play the game on very fast settings. The fact that you get to choose adds another level of enjoyment to the game.
Pro Replayability through different classes
There are a plethora of classes that open up upon leveling to the second level, once one is chosen the others will be gone for that game session. This means that a different playthrough will be needed to explore what all the different classes offer, making for quite a lot of playtime.
Pro Lots of loot to find
There is quite a lot of loot in the game to be found, which drives the player to continue playing, just to find that better weapon or piece of armor. The loot is also color coded when dropped, making it easy to discern what is worth picking up or leaving behind.
Pro Tons of customization
There are 30 different classes of characters to choose from within the game with 150 character skills that they can learn. This way users can customize their character to their liking and playstyle.
Cons
Con Control and AI issues
The controls and AI in The Last Guardian feel a little off. The camera isn't very responsive, and the AI just kind of picks a random action and goes with it.
Con Combat feels a little static
Con Save anywhere does not save character placement
This means that there will be some retreading of areas once a save is loaded as the character will not be in the same place as where they were left off. This will waste time and can be frustrating having to do this every time you load the game.
Con Disappointing loot at later levels
Even when the player has reached a high level, they will often find loot meant for low level characters. This can be frustrating when trying to find better gear and just adds a lot of clutter to ones inventory as the majority of items found won't be that useful.
