Ico: Castle in the Mist by Miyuki Miyabe

2.0

ICO is a Playstation2 game that's revered for being one of the most beautifully minimalistic games ever made. It's haunting and moving in a way most games aren't. While Alexander O. Smith's translation is technically great, Miyuki's adaptation just doesn't work out so well. Half of this book is backstory to the events of the game, and just doesn't work.

Granted, it needs to be there because it'd be a much shorter book otherwise, but it comes across as plodding.
