This pretty much.

I've found this game a curious mixture of genius, originality and cinematic greatness with sheer frustration in controls, responsiveness, frustration and janky-ness. I love the art style, feeling and mystery of this, but this was clearly a diamond in the rough. (Ps. this game is free on PS Collection if you're on PS5- still worth a shot).

The worst part for me is I can't plat this game even though I got all the hard trophies because I can't get Trico to poop! lol

I got stuck on the part where Trico the dog bird had to pull the chain to lift this door I'm stuck behind. With only one save file, I believe there is a glitch in the game as there seems to be no way out of it. Nothing I've tried works and it's been a couple hours of tries, so I gave up. That was from years ago. Too many other games to play than to deal with glitches or broken games or awful, cryptic puzzles.

I'm a fan of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, both of which I completed.

This is a great game imo, despite Trico's unresponsiveness. which is intentional, because he's supposed to act like a real animal, but that's another example of "realism" making a game less fun

that sucks, though. I remember worrying I wouldn't get it naturally, because I'd hate to wait for it..

I just checked and it unlocked minutes before the speedrun trophy, I guess I got lucky

It frustrates me to no end because I saw the poop in my first playthrough but didn't know what it was. If I had restarted checkpoint he would have pooped again and I could have gotten the trophy. Never saw the poop again on 2 more playthroughs and many attempts at locations where it's allegedly more common.

If there was a way to feed Trico a ton of barrels all at one time, I bet that could provoke his digestion for the trophy prize.

I remember there was so much debate about whether feeding the barrels would make poop more likely lol. I think it's random and not affected by that, but no one knows.
