    I played this game for a couple of weeks and I gave up at the 7th chapter. After time, it becomes so furiously annoying that I had to stop. The tasks are repetitive: climbing gets boring, destroying robots becomes a chore, especially when a lot of them attack you and you can't see anything because of a bad camera angle.

After time, it becomes so furiously annoying that I had to stop. The tasks are repetitive: climbing gets boring, destroying robots becomes a chore, especially when a lot of them attack you and you can't see anything because of a bad camera angle. 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. That is not the kind of entertainment I am looking for playing games.… Expand

    Unplayable due to the worst controls I have ever seen.
    The mouse sensitivity is all off, the camera keeps moving by its own... it's a pain to play.
    It's a terrible port, developers should be able to make some simple adjustments when porting to PC from console, but this game is a mess.

    Horrible start of the game.I read the IGN review and thought to my self why not, according to them there are emotional currents between a man and a woman in this game, and boy are there.The game has to be some thing else, for me to delete it after 10 minutes or so.

    It's a rip-off game. They didn't fix for PC version. As I'm a left handed, I changed key bindings. It was hard to do so since panel kept moving slightly and its light blinking to distract you. When using a mouse, you can't point to certain keys, you have to move the mouse higher. After you're done changing key bindings, you had to watch a movie, then you're ready to play, but you found youIt's a rip-off game. They didn't fix for PC version.

After you're done changing key bindings, you had to watch a movie, then you're ready to play, but you found you can't jump and it says you need to use MouseY (I still have no idea what it is), so I went back to option. However key binding isn't there, so I had to go for menu, it means you lost saving progress. I changed jump key to Numpad 0 again. I had to watch movie again then it required MouseY again for jump. It went cycle four or five times. I've had enough of it. It kept scrambling your key bindings. I found that there are other people who have the same problems. I think it was designed for Xbox or PS4 or both, not so much for PC.… Expand

    The only things promote this game are the story, character design, models, concept and the art design. It is a very bad console port. Game is technically a mess. There are NO graphical options, only resolution. environmental textures are very poor. Gameplay wise it is also quite bad. Camera angles are all over the place. Combat is stiff.

    Characters and voice acting are pretty good but I found Trip extremely unlikeable. 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

    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.

    Today Enslaved is still a strong game worth getting acquainted with. [01/2014, p.67]

    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.
