    Mind you, this game is NOT a bad one. It's just that, for several reasons, I just can't recommend it fullheartedly.

    Bottom line: +Amazing, lush, beautiful, graphics. Incredible locations +A very interesting take on the book "Journey to the West" +Incredible soundtrack +Nice, fluid and somewhat fun combat and "parkouring-ish", assuming you managed to get the game run well enough.

    +An awesome WTF ending

    -Linear gameplay, and I mean VERY linear
    -Can get tedious and boring at times
    -Story is executed weakly
    -Characters barely develop. Relationships between them simply don't work and are growing awkwardly.
    -PC port is not optimized quite enough. I've encountered MANY technical difficulties before managing to make the game playable.
    -All in all, big portion of the game simply lacks substance, regarding depth of story and gameplay.    … Expand

    Um excelente jogo que cometeu um erro grave de marketing e acabou pagando caro por isso. A jogabilidade é muito boa e as expressões faciais dos personagens são muito avançadas para a época. Uma pena que poucos o jogaram.

I played it on my PC and the minor technical issues didn't bother me al all since it's easy to fix almost all of them so it's a 10/10. I hope whoever plays this game enjoys it as much as I did.… Expand

    The combat is fun, the voice acting is really good, and the game does look great. However I find myself constantly being frustrated by a sloppy camera, insane amounts of scripted events and mini cut scenes that seem to interrupt actual game play every 2 minutes

    This is one of my favorite games ever! The story is amazing! I originally played this game on a ps3 and complained that the graphics sucked. well it appears it was the fault of the ps3 hardware! I got the PC version and its beautiful! 1080 with settings set to max! Yes, it is a port from a game that came out a few years ago. But it still looks great! I highly recommend getting this game!

The very first message you receive when starting the game on the PC is "Be sure not to turn the CONSOLE off while auto-save icon is active." So there ...

    The game is in the same vein as (tier II) The Prince of Persia Series. However, the gameplay is extremely linear, repetitive and predictable. There's a tech-tree is that is sub par, and you use a "buddy-system" with a NPC which is meh. You issue generic commands or have to throw her across to a bridge to drop a ladder basic stuff and usually annoying.

    On the plus side Voice acting is top-notch. Music is great. Graphics are decent for being a 2010 console port (but the shadows will drive you batty) Plot is so-so; however, again, the voice acting really, really drives the story and gets you involved. Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, plays the main character and hits it out of the park. The female lead does pretty awesome too.

    All-in-all, a fun game that is worth it for a run-though; however, after its won, a pretty forgettable one. Buy it on sale from Steam or something.    … Expand

It features a completely bare bones options menu with a couple of selectable resolutions and gamma settings alongside a volume control menu. If you actually want to customize anything visually speaking, you'll have to direct your attention to an .ini file in your computers "My Games" folder. Not that I'm complaining that its "difficult" to do any of this or that I "hate" not having complete control over my graphics options, but honestly who are we kidding here- the game should've had a graphics menu BUILT IN not hidden completely in MonkeyEngine.ini. After disabling all of the ridiculous blur, bloom, fake hdr bloom, and some other useless features that only serve to hide just how old the games engine actually is (as well as looks) I was ready to play the actual game. Now this is the surprising bit- its good. Its a good game. I wanted to finish it, it was compelling, it seemed like it was setting up something kind of complex for its ending, but of course I kept reminding myself that they'd probably screw it up, so obviously I kept my standards low. Our two main characters Trip and Monkey have interesting chemistry, but I'd say that the characters don't all balance out until the introduction of "Pigsy" a short fat man with a mechanical grappling arm and ironically a total pig in every sense of the word. Monkey on the other hand is your generic mysterious past beef cake with a heart of gold who doesn't have as much of an arc as I thought he would. Which overall is still better than "Trip" and her fairly boring, yet stunningly animated (at times) character. She goes between overly excited and extremely mournful without warning though which chucked a wrench in the narrative at times. Level design was "alright," puzzles weren't particularly challenging ever however its really the combat that shines through. Off course it would've helped if the camera actually acted appropriately during most of the fights with your robotic enemies, since as of my first playthrough I'm wondering if I really want to go through that frustration again just to play through the story on "hard." You're looking at a fairly short game, that should be decent for the money, but it will let you down for many a reason. Collision detection is a nightmare at times, seeking out platforms can be irksome (even if they do flash for you), Trip can get stuck in the level (happened a couple of times early on), "Mek" combat is fun for awhile until they start throwing in the shielded enemies and then its like the obnoxious factor ramps up to 20 for no reason.

    Final thoughts:

    Some of the early sections with the "Dog" fights (heh) were incredibly enjoyable and I liked the sense of teamwork with Trip- it did help the characters bond a bit as well. The aesthetics were great in many places, the levels were at least interesting to look at (though not terribly complex). The visuals were fine, but the additions of bloom and motion blur were not well implemented at all. The voice acting was stellar throughout the game and the games narrative benefited well from the more than adequate writing.

    However, the convoluted nature of some sections of the game, the ridiculous amount of literal handholding even after completing similar sequences many times over was not entertaining (it was more insulting actually). The pacing was also very poor with short cutscenes breaking up the action for no reason other than to introduce the same puzzle solution or to "scan the area with the dragonfly" schtick mechanics.

    The ending was a complete wash. Absolutely dreadful that that was all they could do with it. No real resolution vague endings are garbage and tell me one thing only- "our budget ran out."

    Final final thoughts:

    Andy Sirkis was a strange addition to this game (even stranger was his actual appearance).    … Expand

    How ironic that I played this game right after Castlevania Lords of Shadow. Since both of them are very poor PC-ports and have very similar gameplay, I almost feel like I'm being punished for trying to like these games. Odyssey does profit from a better story, but the same dated mechanics plague this game and prevent me from actually recommending it.

Apart from that, collecting points, which are virtual currency, is so cumbersome and it is something you could expect from a game for children. The graphics are quite nice, but there's little fun to be had besides that. At one point, the protagonist gets a bike you can't even ride it it's just a cut scene. Also, at the wind mill I had a bug and I could not make Trip move the wings of it. So irritating! Last but not least, this game is too long! If it was half shorter and if it supported 3D Vision I would rate it 7. Since I felt pissed off most of the time playing it I cannot rate it more that 1.

Devs actually thought players would like her as the game goes on yet she never takes off Monkey's leash, keeps putting Monkey in threat and killing him for wandering a little bit away from her. This is acceptable to a degree. The thing really pisses me off is the fact that I was expected to sympathize with her (That is what Monkey does), which is very hard for a sane person due to constant threat of her killing Monkey and her dying and taking Monkey with her.    … Expand

    If she dies, he dies, she wants help getting back to her home and feels this is the only way she can guarantee monkey will help her.
    So they set off on a post apocalyptical adventure to take trip home
    This game is a platform adventure game,
    A very prince of Persia feel to it,
    You spend most of the game traversing walls, and hopping across bars
    with the occasional combat with mechs
    The combat system is fairly simple with block, heavy attacks, light attacks, and blasters.
    You can stun and shoot enemies, or just go hand to hand,
    But again, combat is very few and far between,
    This is mostly climbing and solving puzzles by communicating back and forth with Trip
    The gameplay is pretty fun and addictive most of the way through the game,
    I love the adventure as much as I loved the fluent and responsive platforming that never got too complex…
    But it slowly becomes repetitive and the final 3rd of the game just becomes a flat out drag
    The world goes from colorful and mysterious to gray, brown, and boring..
    The only thing that kept me going was the story of Trip and Monkey, and I was so happy I followed through.
    Its just a shame I felt like I had to force myself through the final hours.
    If you love story you’ll love Enslaved, if you’re here for the gameplay, look elsewhere.

    Entirely inspired by the classical legend of the Monkey King, Enslaved gives it a modern spin, in a post-apocalyptic context. The characters are well rounded and quite relatable.

    Gameplay wise, it blends platforming and combat, that gets a completely different treatment.

    At first, platforming feels great (especially with the fake time pressure at the beginning) but after a while you realize that it's mostly impossible to fail (except while associated with time limit or timing) because graps are highlighted and kinda "magnetic"; plus you have invisible walls that prevent falling.

    On the other hand, the combat feels ok at the beginning but quickly ramps up, forcing you to learn how to combine moves, staff punches and shots.

    Even if the game is some kind of a "storyplaying", I think there is a missed opportunity. Monkey is a strong and agile character that can climb almost anywhere... but during combat, he's suddenly way less agile. It's not possible to exploit the environment or even jump over an enemy to take him from behind - to do that, you'll have to perform a ground roll with slow recover.

    For me that's the lowest point of the game, that is otherwise really enjoyable.    … Expand

    Good graphics, entertaining story. There is limited freedom of movement, but that's no too shocking. Best played with a controller, this is a good buy on a steam sale - however I probably wouldn't recommend paying full price for it. It was obviously designed for a console in terms of the freedom of action and some of the wonky camera angles that you occasionally wind up with.

Si bien, el juego trata de hacer muchas cosas como hack n' slash o resolver puzzles, estos elementos quedan muy simples, siendo muy simple los puzzles y el sistema de combate se vuelve muy muy repetitivo. Además básicamente existen solo 4 tipo de enemigos, faltandole mucha variedad. La historia se queda corta, tratando de ser ambiciosa, se queda en algo muy simple y poco profundo.
    En resumen, enslaved es un juego divertido para pasar el rato pero que otros juegos pueden desarrollar de mejor manera los aspectos en el que éste carece un poco. Cabe destacar los puntos fuertes que son los ambientes, los personajes son carismáticos, la relación trip y monkey se da bastante bien, y el humor básico que aporta pigsy cumple. El epílogo también destaca, a mi parecer fue un punto fuerte del juego.
    Recomendado para cuando esté en rebaja.

    - The animations and voice acting for the time was relatively well done.

    Neutral:

    - The ending was... well, I was hoping for something more.

    Cons:

    - Because it's (mostly) just you and your partner going through the world it feels so empty. If the game could have been designed to not be quite so barren it would have made it more fun for me.

    Overall: A fun game, that's somewhat unique, which is overall well done enough, that it's worth playing through even if it's quickly one time.    … Expand

But gameplay wise it in the end became bit too repetative to my taste, there wasnt that much variety to the hack n slash combat. Animations were slick tho, especialy Monkey's which has mocap done by legendary Andy Serkis. Story was fun and overall enough with some noticeable character development and likeable 3 main heroes, but ending felt somewhat anti climatic with few questions of mine left unanswered.

    Can reccomend to anyone who likes solid action hack & slash games.    … Expand

    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West jest świetną grą, która po lekkim „podrasowaniu” grafiki prezentuje się całkiem nieźle. Relacje między głównymi bohaterami przypominały mi te występujące między Księciem i Eliką w Prince of Persia (2008) - co rzecz jasna powoduje, że możemy jeszcze bardziej zżyć się z bohaterami i zapewni nam masę świetnych emocji podczas rozgrywki.

Relacje między głównymi bohaterami przypominały mi te występujące między Księciem i Eliką w Prince of Persia (2008) - co rzecz jasna powoduje, że możemy jeszcze bardziej zżyć się z bohaterami i zapewni nam masę świetnych emocji podczas rozgrywki. Z niecierpliwością grałem i grałem w oczekiwaniu na dalszy rozwój wydarzeń. Odnośnie długości rozgrywki, to główny wątek fabularny składa się z 14 misji + Epilogu, których przejścia zajęło mi (z krótkimi przerwami) około 8 godzin - co w połączeniu z DLC (3 godziny) daje około 11 godzin zmagań. Warto jeszcze dodać, że gra posiada rewelacyjny postapokaliptyczny klimat, którego od tak dawna nie miałem okazji poczuć w żadnej innej produkcji. Jeśli jeszcze nie graliście w Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - to właśnie nadarzyła się ku temu idealna okazja! Gorąco polecam ;-)

    Plusy:
    + fabuła i postacie (Pigsy rządzi!)
    + postapokaliptyczny klimat
    + projekt etapów
    + różnorodność rozgrywki
    + trzyma w napięciu do samego końca
    + w zestawie z DLC: Pigsy’s Perfect 10

    Minusy:
    – brak opcji związanych z grafiką (trzeba samemu edytować pliki gry)
    – wiele uproszczeń związanych z rozgrywką
    – drobne błędy techniczne
    – dlaczego na wersję PC czekaliśmy aż 3 lata?!

    Great story and narrative along with lovely graphics which create a deep sense of the post apocalyptic world monkey and trip live in. However game play is simplistic and unidirectional as you are led the whole way through it. There is no room for exploration and the upgrade system is not used well at all as the game can be easily completed without using any upgrades.

    Parkour is rudimentary and too casual, it is impossible to fall, the character jumps only when the right direction is chosen, and this decision is strange, because any interest and suspense disappears when performing acrobatic jumps.
    Puzzles are a typical armwave in various places of the map and do not cause any interest.

    With all this, the game is completed to the end, as the situation is saved by an interesting non-banal plot, in which the interest in observing the glavnmi characters does not fade to the very end.    … Expand

    Mouse + keyboard control is poor. It doesn't move your view proportionally to the mouse movement you make. It first doesn't move at all until you reach a specific velocity threshold, then it moves the screen in a chunk.

It first doesn't move at all until you reach a specific velocity threshold, then it moves the screen in a chunk. It seems to have additional mouse acceleration, which gets dynamically changed depending on your location. All very bizarre. It also forces your view in some spots which is really annoying. It also has very strong negative mouse acceleration.

    With a controller it's more stable/normal but I think a controller is not ideal at all for this type of game, and the game doesn't let you customize the controller settings either. So 3rd party software (DS4) is necessary.

    A problem I had with a controller is that panning is a constant speed, which means continual motion blur (144hz TN monitor). But with a mouse you can do quick turns and thus minimize the amount of time the picture is blurry. Thus, even with the major mouse problems a mouse + keyboard are preferable for me. But due to the negative mouse accel you have to play with really high sensitivity.

    I had mouse smoothing off. Turning it on makes panning more like a controller.

    The quality/textures get messed up during the cut scenes sometimes. The Steam community config section for the game has some config file tweaks that help. But even beyond that there are many low quality textures in the 2nd half of the game.

    The story is nice enough and raises various ethical and societal topics. But as others have said, the gameplay flaws are significant.    … Expand

    A classic action game with some platforming elements (which are very linear and kind of play themselves). The fighting is fun if not a little easy with the available upgrades. The characters are likable and the acting is good. I thought the ending worked with the story. It's a little bland, but I enjoyed my playthrough.

    Bad port of a mediocre game. I never got to really like any of the characters and there always something making me nuts while I played (like the fact that Monkey almost only jumps to preset locations, even if it makes no sense). Didn't like the ending neither.

    One of the best games I've ever played. The controls are a little clunky, and the platforming is not all that great actually. However, I loved the story and the characters which is why I place it among the best games for me. I cut 1 score point because of the bad controls, otherwise it would be an easy 10 in my opinion.

    Its gameplay style and combat mechanic were clearly designed with the console player in mind. When transferred to the PC, the entire experience is undercut.
