Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
| September 11th, 2012This game was fun. Â It is a linear story third-person action game with a hint of romance.
I generally liked this game; it had a few bugs and the female character was a little weak for my taste but overall I enjoyed playing it.  I, for some reason, decided to play the game on the hardest difficulty.  I guess that reason is pride.  But this probably wasn’t smart.  Playing on hard made me find the bugs in the game much more annoying. I don’t think I would recommend playing it on hard, but I understand about the pride thing.
The story of the game was good. Â The beginning wasn’t great. Â Trip’s character came off as bitchy and weak and that really isn’t something I want to engage with. Â But Monkey was awesome. Â As the story progresses Trip’s character never really gets any better, but at least she is consistent. By the middle of the story it is obvious the writers are implying a budding romance between the main two characters. Â The romantic element is what makes this game interesting and different. Â I’m a very big fan of romance in my fantastical media, but this has yet to show it’s face enough in the video game arena. Â The greatest reason to play this game is the romance.
