For me this is a good thing – it would have only felt tacked on anyway. Enslaved is an old-fashioned single player game. What probably hurt more though were the classic issues – price and longevity. So maybe it was the game itself? Did hardcore gamers think it was too "easy" – those invisible barriers *do* take most of the challenge from the platforming – and so not evangelise to their peers? Enslaved has had one of them more visible campaigns this year, with numerous ads on the London underground and TV as well as on and offline. For me at least it was one of the best gaming experiences of the year. The game is easily one of the most visually original of the year, tells a good story, is well acted, fun to play and has a decent Metacritic of 81. Given that the game was released a few weeks ago now you can assume – with only 75K global sales of the PS3 version - that it has been a sales flop.
The big surprise for me though is the continued absence of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West from the Top 10. Buy it on sale from Steam or something.If you saw yesterday's charts you'll have seen that Fable III is top and that Force Unleashed 2 didn't do quite as well as you may have expected. All-in-all, a fun game that is worth it for a run-though however, after its won, a pretty forgettable one. Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, plays the main character and hits it out of the park. Graphics are decent for being a 2010 console port (but the shadows will drive you batty) Plot is so-so however, again, the voice acting really, really drives the story and gets you involved. On the plus side Voice acting is top-notch. You issue generic commands or have to throw her across to a bridge to drop a ladder basic stuff and usually annoying. There's a tech-tree is that is sub par, and you use a "buddy-system" with a NPC which is meh. However, the gameplay is extremely linear, repetitive and predictable. The game is in the same vein as (tier II) The Prince of Persia Series. The very first message you receive when starting the game on the PC is "Be sure not to turn the CONSOLE off while auto-save icon is active." So there. The camera is equally as bad and confusing, re-arranging the direction you need to press on a whim, depending on the angle the game suddenly throws at you. The controls are pretty wonky using a KB and mouse. First off, it is a pretty bad port from console to PC shocking I know. The controls Well this game is almost a really good game. Well this game is almost a really good game.
