Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

The Good
..I would probably enjoy it. I liked the characters (not that there are really that many), I liked the setting. Lots of colours and the graphics are quite nice. The controls are okay. If you like the newer Final Fantasies, you will probably like this. The dialogues are generally well done, I liked the Voice acting.

The Bad
The story is quite thin, I would have liked more background and a more diverse interaction with the remnants of the old world. The game is somewhere between interactive movie (too little plot for that), puzzle game (too easy for my taste) and action game (fights are too boring and one-dimensional). It has a bit of an open world feeling, but in truth you are quite tied down to one path. Most dialogue is short and clearly designed to contain information on how to proceed. There are many small inconsistencies that don't hurt game flow but my head. One example: Deer obviously don't walk into minefields. Mechs do. Mechs are abundant, yet minefields from the war long past still exist.

The Bottom Line
Final Fantasy 13 but in a less weird game world and thankfully less tedious.
