Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
In ENSLAVED you take on the role of Monkey a strong, brutish loner who has been captured on a mysterious slave ship 150 years into the future. War and destruction have left the world in ruins and you are one of only a few humans left. On the slave ship you encounter Trip - a beautiful, tech-savvy young woman who is also at the mercy of her captors. Trip is anxious to escape so she can make her way back home, but she knows she can't do it alone. She has the brains, but not the brawn - you, as Monkey are her ticket to freedom. You soon become ENSLAVED by Trip - bonded together by a slave headband. If you stray, you will be paralyzed by excruciating pain. If your stay, your fate is in her hands. In both cases, your freedom is no longer your own...

The developers at Ninja Theory have openly stated that they create their games in the interest of pushing forward storytelling in games. With very few exceptions, videogame stories and characters are often only as compelling as the armor they equip. Enslaved won't be the game that will tip the industry scale toward the serious artistic medium we all want it to be, but it has certainly added a lot of weight.

Enslaved: Journey to the West is definitely a contender for game of the year. There are very few games these days that put this much effort into telling a compelling, emotional story and it deserves every bit of credit it can possibly get for that. While the gameplay might not be as well developed as the story it is in no way an impediment, being quite enjoyable in its own right if you're willing to give the game half a chance.

Unfortunately, the story is all we have to bring us back for another go. There’s no multiplayer or other play modes and the collectibles that can be gathered (which will flesh out the story a little more) are probably not enough to motivate a second playthrough. Namco does have post-launch DLC plans though, so it’s a sure bet that Enslaved will be spinning in my disk drive again. Even still, what was great about Enslaved was so great that I was able to forgive the little things without a second thought. The 10-12 hours journey will enthrall you from beginning to end and easily make it worth the price of admission.

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Enslaved; it’s fun, it’s interesting, and I loved everything about it. I’m already looking forward to the forthcoming DLC to bring me back into the world, even if it’ll only be for a short time, at least that’s a few more hours I’ll get to enjoy and to hopefully tide me over until a sequel is announced (please!).

when you reach the end of the Odyssey and discover the provocative mindf**k contained in the falling action, you’ll realize the things that will stick with you long after you’ve shut off your console is Monkey and Trip’s emotional journey through a ravaged nation. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is one of the best games of the year.
