Ico has no health bar and can jump or fall distances that rival 40 feet. With that, the only way I have found that Ico can be killed is if he falls from some insane height. And I mean, really high, like base-jumping heights. Plus, I have no idea what language that they are speaking. Thankfully, there are captions but sometimes there are even strange hieroglyphics that dot the screen like I know ancient Egyptian.
One of the first puzzles Ico encounters is how to free the trapped Yorda; coincidently this also provides Ico with his first weapon, a stick. Now, you may be asking: what kind of a threat is a 12 year old with a stick?
Well, you must realize that the enemies Ico fights are not much more than walking shadows. Sure, they vary in size and shape, but the glowing ball of light that resides in them makes for a perfect target for Ico's stick. Yeah, they slowly become more aggressive towards Ico and even smack him around a bit, but they never actually kill him.
More like a couple will try to distract him while a third snatches up Yorda. Some of the wraiths look like spiders, others like huge men. Some fly while others scramble up the walls. Looking at them is like looking at a photo negative of a ghost. Kind of disturbing. The stick is also a tool with which Ico can set fire to things. That is, if you find the appropriate items, specifically if you see a bomb s lying around, chances are you will need to blow something up.
Eventually Ico will find a sword and even a magic sword after that if he completes the right puzzles. Now as far as the characters go, they all look a bit strange. First, Ico has horns, but we have already established that at the beginning. Yorda however, is as pale as a fish and appears to be as pathetic as one. No sense of self preservation although I'm certain it's because she is so weak whenever danger arrives. Sure shell run over to Ico for protection, but if one of the wraiths grabs her, she doesn't kick, punch, or scream.
Now, when this first happened I was a bit unnerved that the game makers made her such a hapless soul, but then as the game progressed, I saw Yorda as a girl who is, for all intents and purposes, an abused child. She doesn't fight back because she knows that it would only result in a worse punishment. It's disturbing how melancholy she is when her supposed mother the Queen of the castle appears and demands that Ico stop trying to escape with her daughter, although the Queen is perfectly content with placing her daughter in a cage high in a tower with no food or water.
Which also begs the question, how old is Yorda? I mean, she obviously has magical powers but she could have been trapped in that cage for hundreds of years. And what's with the Queen? She has the body of a wraith yet the pale white face of a human. You can tell she means business the first time you lay eyes on her. Her intensity and presence is overwhelming. Weird things are happening in this castle.
Which brings me to the forth character, the castle itself. I have no idea who could have possibly built this thing, but it is huge. Microsoft is done with Xbox One. N95, KN95, KF94 face masks.
