Review of

Ico

“

+ A wonderful interactive story that demonstrates that show don’t tell is always the best route to take. The world of ICO feels immersive throughout and isn’t afraid to keep secrets and let your imagination fill in the gaps. + The hand holding mechanic is a great way to create a feeling of connection between the cast. - Sometimes the puzzles can be a bit vague on what to do and can feel frustrating at times.
