A hidden gem? Or just another rock in the pile?
PC version reviewed.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is an action adventure platformer published by Namco and developed by Ninja Theory for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
GAMEPLAY
Combat is alright
Very hard to fall off in platforming segments
Cloud is a nice idea, but rarely utilised well
Need more reasons to replay the level and more ability to explore
STORY
Pigsy in the original tale
Unexpected ending
GRAPHICS
Quite nice, aesthetic gets a bit boring in the New York levels though
SOUND
Voice acting and SFX fine, soundtrack a bit boring
VALUE FOR MONEY
Short campaign, no real reason to replay
OVERALL
Enslaved is a decent but flawed game. However it is worth a glance if you're looking for a short action adventure platformer.
