I tend to like games that resemble the first 3 Fable games, The Elder Scroll Games, Demon/Dark Souls/Bloodborne, all the Fallout games. (Pretty much highly customizable action adventure rpgs.) Would I like SotC, Ico, and The Last Guardian?

I really like Ico, but I found it a bit stressful to play, based on the play mechanics. Though that might be part of why I like it. I did have to fight the controls in Ico a lot more than in SotC or LG. still, not at all a deal breaker for me. Just made it a tad more frustrating.
Colossus is a lot more low key. The battles aren't particularly difficult or fast-paced. You have the ability to either hide from or place yourself in an area where you cannot be reached by each of the colossi. Basically, you can take your time and formulate strategies while engaged in each battle, which was really relaxing for me. Each battle has a REALLY epic feel. The sense of scale is really amazing when you consider the limits of the platform. If I had to recommend just one of the 3, this would be it.
LG really feels like a mashup of Ico & SotC to me. I'm really enjoying it, but not quite like I did SotC.

Interesting since I felt like I was fighting the controls on SOTC more than Ico, but not by much. But I definitely agree that both games are more relaxing than stress filled/action oriented. There were only 3 Colossi that I felt were stressfull, but that was only on the first time through. Oddly enough, those three Colossi are now the easiest when I play through again.

The two smaller and sandworm?
Sandworm still annoys me. Being on the horse for some much of that battle is annoying :-\

Close. The two small/fast ones and the one with the geysers in the fighting area. That one was pretty intimidating the first time around.
The sand worm never really bothered me much. Although, I have to admit that I knew the strategy before even getting to him. :P

Yeah, that guy can be a pain if you can't get him to go where you want/need. I'd forgotten about him.
