History lessons are rarely the best place to start, but it is important to understand the genesis of The Last Guardian, an extraordinary video game a decade in the making. Fumito Ueda's adventure about a boy and his beast has been oft-delayed and rarely glimpsed, its creator curiously shuffling roles mid-development.
