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: A compelling adventure that is hard to put down.I had more than my fair share of reservations going into Enslaved. Ninja Theory's previous effort, Heavenly Sword was a bit on the short side and didn't do much to advance the genre. Still to this day tho...
Abstract: I could probably put everything I know about the classic tale Journey to the West into one paragraph. A really, really small paragraph. Most of what I know is probably stemming from old Dragonball episodes anyways, so when Enslaved was announced as a f...
Abstract: In 2007 little known developer Ninja Theory teamed up with Sony to release a Playstation 3 exclusive known as Heavenly Sword. The relationship had been reported as being rocky, and the developer felt a lot of pressure working on only one platform. Shor...

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'...
Sympathetic characters and wellcrafted cutscenes, A wide variety of beautiful locations, Smooth combat that is brutally satisfying, Boss fights, chase scenes, and puzzles offer good variety.
Touchy movement controls, Camera is too zoomed in at times.
Enslaved is an affecting adventure that makes strong use of its characters and story to create a believable world....
Abstract: It is an amusing coincidence that one of the most prolific U.S. game publishers of the Dragon Ball franchise is also the publisher of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Both are loosely based on the 400-year-old Chinese folktale, Journey to the West and b...
