ENSLAVED: ODYSSEY TO THE WEST (2010) REVIEW

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.
