Enslaved - Odyssey to the West

[tnf]

Not much publicity for this game but its had decent reviews - rented it and so far its been pretty good. Platforming reminds me of Uncharted 2 at the beginning.
Worth a rental if you haven't tried it.

Heh, yea, the more I've played it you see there isn't much to the gameplay. You lots of mashing and jumping to places you can't not jump to.

The demo was pretty rough tbh.

Is it really that shite? I was quite looking forward to picking this up...

[brisk]

Shit cunt framerate stopped me from playing it. It just feels nasty next to UC2, AC:Bloodlines and company.

I don't think its that shite - the voice acting and story were enough to keep me occupied as a rental, but its definitely something I wouldn't play through a second time.

[Don Carlos]

So if I could grab it for £10, it would be worth a play through?

I was going to get this but bought Castlevania, which i would recommend to anyone looking for a great SP.

[Don Carlos]

I played a bit of Castlevania over my mates....its quite awesome and fucking vast.

[Tormentius]

Castlevania was awesome. Can't wait for the sequel, the video shown after the credits looked impressive.

Out for pc on steam, now.

Played it on xbox, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now replaying it on pc, and with the framerate issues ironed out I enjoy it even more the second time around.
It's not spectacular graphics, platforming or combat wise, but it excels in voice acting and character involvement. Also because the interaction with, and functionality of your sidekick is very well handled.
I must have played thousands of games, and then forgot about playing them, but Enslaved sticks with me as an experience I loved, and definitely makes my game top 10.

I enjoyed it (on Xbox) as well. Solid game. Sure, gameplay isn't all that perhaps, but it doesn't offend. The gameplay never got in the way of the game being fun IMO. The finishing moves you can perform on enemies are a treat though. The character, story and beautifully crafted world are the highlights of this game, and make it well worth a (budget) buy. Not sure what they ask for it on Steam, but I expect it isn't a full 60 €/$ ?

[Don Carlos]

I still haven't played this...still in its wrapper on the shelf. Perhaps once Batman, Borderlands 2 and GTAV are done I will give it a whirl

20€. Steepish, but well worth it IMO. But might not click with others as it does with me, of course.

This. I have one new game I played for two hours and put BF3 back In which I've then played once or twice. I don't even know why I've ordered another system.

[Don Carlos]

I have no new systems on order
