Abstract: Action game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was one of the most promising titles at this year's E3 for a number of reasons: an interesting and epic take on platforming, a dynamic combat system and an apocalyptic, mech-filled narrative based on the 16t...
It seems a little harsh to accuse Enslaved of presenting style over substance but the feeling remains nonetheless: much like Heavenly Sword before it, Enslaved is an exceptionally well produced game from Ninja Theory where gameplay takes a passenger se...
Abstract: I’m a big fan of developer Ninja Theory. Though it wasn’t without its flaws, Heavenly Sword was one of my favorite games in 2007, and had me eagerly anticipating the company’s next title, no matter what it was. While it would have been nice to see anot...

Abstract: "Your main character is named Monkey and he doesn't wear a shirt." That was all I knew about Enslaved: Odyssey to the West about a week ago. But as I do before most review assignments I read up on the game from our previews section and learned that Ens...
The characters and setting are both top-notch, The voice acting and writing are incredible, The world feels filled with history and depth, even if it's not explicit, Combat and platforming elements feel solid, remain fun to the end, The story will keep yo
Some technical glitches hurt the experience, The game is over in 8 hours or so, and there is little reason to play through again, Some of the humor falls flat, The levels can begin to feel repetitive in places: scan, fight, jump, repeat
At one point, Trip finds an ancient fish tank with what seems to be a closed ecosystem; brightly colored fish and other marine life swim inside. She regards it with wonder, a thing of beauty in a world that seems intent on crushing all non-plant life.You'...
