Developed by Sony and released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Ico is an action-adventure game directed by Fumito Ueda. The game sees our plucky hero Ico team up with Yorda, a helpless girl with magic abilities, to escape a castle and its villainous queen. The game was praised by critics and developed a cult following.
The same development team worked on 2005’s Shadow Of The Colossus. The Ico prequel stars Wander, a young man who enters an isolated and abandoned region of the realm seeking the power to revive a girl named Mono. That was followed up by The Last Guardian in 2016. “Players control a boy who befriends a giant legendary creature named Trico; the two must work together to escape the dangerous ruins of an ancient civilization.”
Fans of the The Team Ico series can now grab three different vinyl, courtesy of iam8bit.
