The Last Guardian vs V Rising

The Last Guardian vs V Rising: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between The Last Guardian and V Rising hinges on platform and hardware. The Last Guardian is a PlayStation-exclusive action-puzzle game with a strong critical reception (82 Metacritic) and high community rating (4.1/5). It requires only a PS4, which many Filipino households already have, and costs vary based on PS Store sales. V Rising is a PC-only massively multiplayer action-adventure game with a lower community rating (3.7/5). It demands a capable gaming PC—minimum specs like an Intel Core i5-6600 and GTX 750 Ti, and recommended specs up to GTX 1070. In the Philippines, building or upgrading a PC to meet these specs can be expensive (often over ₱30,000 for the GPU alone). Additionally, V Rising requires a stable broadband internet connection for its online multiplayer, which may not be available in all areas. The Last Guardian offers a shorter, focused solo experience (7 hours), while V Rising provides open-ended online play. If you already own a PS4 and prefer a story-driven game, The Last Guardian is the safer and more affordable choice. If you have a high-end PC and enjoy survival-crafting MMOs with friends, V Rising might be worth the investment. However, for most Filipino gamers, The Last Guardian offers better value and accessibility.
