It is one of the more attractive post-apocalyptic worlds. Everywhere are remnants of the world that once existed but now over-grown with lush greenery & plants. The world is a shadow of its former self but unlike most post-apocalyptic worlds, Enslaved’s is a vibrant & pretty place with mother-nature exerting her control again. Monkey is unhappy about it but agrees to help realising he has little choice. She instructs him to help her to get back to her village over 3000 miles away. When Monkey wakes up Trip has placed a slave headband on him that forces him to obey her every command & if she dies, he dies. They get away in an escape pod (sort of) but crash land. Escaping, he runs into the mysterious Trip who is also trying to escape the crashing ship. You play as Monkey who has woken up inside a cell onboard a slave ship that is on a crash course. The mechs were used as weapons during the war & still follow their original programming….destroy all hostiles. Set 150 years in the future where a huge war has destroyed the Earth, killing most humans & leaving behind a race of robots called mechs. I went in to Enslaved: Odyssey expecting a lot… That it boasts both exciting & rewarding gameplay but also has a story & characters that matter. Anyone who has a modern console will have heard in some fashion or another that Enslaved is a ‘hidden gem’. The story of Enslaved: Odyssey To The West commercial failure is almost as famous as the game itself.
