It is framed as a flashback as the boy, now an old man, narrates the events.
At the start of the game the boy wakes up in a cave.
He has been kidnapped and was taken to a large castle.
He discovers tattoos that he previously did not have on his body and he also immediately meets Trico, wounded and chained up, next to him.
The boy frees him, removes the spears from his body and feeds him to bring back his energy.
While Trico is hostile at first, he warms up to the boy and then throughout the game the two work together to escape the castle and to fight the guards that attempt to recapture them.
The player only controls the boy and has to learn to work with Trico and issue commands to coerce it into specific actions.
That does not always work right away, as in some cases Trico can become distracted or stubbornly acts by his own instincts and interests.
The player can also often choose to keep it close through commands or to let it roam freely.
Interaction with Trico is needed for almost all of the puzzles.
The boy can ride his back and reach high places that way.
The creature can also jump over large gaps.
The boy can move around by himself, climb platforms, carry objects and interact with levers and other objects.
Trico does all the fighting against the guards with his mighty claws and the boy has to stay out of the way.
The creature is however vulnerable to spears and the boy can climb him to pull them out.
In the later parts of the game more cooperation during fights is needed as Trico becomes scared of a symbol and the boy has to work around that.
He can also shoot lighting out of his tale and in later parts of the game the boy uses a shield to redirect the stream for attacks or to solve puzzles.
Sometimes the boy can be captured and dragged away by a guards and then he has to wrig
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks The Last Guardian for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Last Guardian to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2016.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
