    This is, essentially, this generation's Beyond Good & Evil. A charismatic, engaging and refreshingly peculiar game that's among the most beautiful of recent years.

    You might miss optimized configuration options, but otherwise you get the complete package of this soulful action-adventure.

    Enslaved is as ambitious as it is flawed. Those of you who can put up with mediocre gameplay and a lack of polish will find a touching, rewarding story heightened by top-notch cast performances. Others need not apply.

    Its gameplay style and combat mechanic were clearly designed with the console player in mind. When transferred to the PC, the entire experience is undercut.

    Despite some stunning art direction and a rich story complete with interesting and complex characters, Enslaved fails to provide a compelling game play experience to complement its artistic and narrative strengths.

    It’s the gameplay which remains slave to the visuals and storytelling here, in this intriguing but shallow post-apocalyptic fable.

There is limited freedom of movement, but that's no too shocking. Best played with a controller, this is a good buy on a steam sale - however I probably wouldn't recommend paying full price for it. It was obviously designed for a console in terms of the freedom of action and some of the wonky camera angles that you occasionally wind up with. Expand

    the game looks grate but for a pc game in 2013 the graphics options lack you literally can change gama and resolution those are the options that's it no vsync no nothing.But still the game looks good.The game play is fluid and mouse and keybord work perfectly ,ther is a nice variety of enemy's and locales
    but you wont find something special in its gameplay it is typical spectaclel fighter fare with some shooting aded to the mix it is very competent at what it dose.I sugest piking up the game simply for it'superb story and well realised characters and world.The main story is not long but the game has replayability and it comes with its only DLC and all extras so there is enough content

The fighting is fun if not a little easy with the available upgrades. The characters are likable and the acting is good. I thought the ending worked with the story. It's a little bland, but I enjoyed my playthrough. Expand

    Well this game is almost a really good game. Almost. First off, it is a pretty bad port from console to PC; shocking I know. The controlsWell this game is almost a really good game. Almost. First off, it is a pretty bad port from console to PC; shocking I know. The controls are pretty wonky using a KB and mouse. 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 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 game is in the same vein as (tier II) The Prince of Persia Series. However, the gameplay is extremely linear, repetitive and predictable. There's a tech-tree is that is sub par, and you use a "buddy-system" with a NPC which is meh. You issue generic commands or have to throw her across to a bridge to drop a ladder basic stuff and usually annoying.

    On the plus side Voice acting is top-notch. Music is great. 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. Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, plays the main character and hits it out of the park. The female lead does pretty awesome too.

    All-in-all, a fun game that is worth it for a run-though; however, after its won, a pretty forgettable one. Buy it on sale from Steam or something.

As I'm a left handed, I changed key bindings. It was hard to do so since panel kept moving slightly and its light blinking to distract you. When using a mouse, you can't point to certain keys, you have to move the mouse higher. After you're done changing key bindings, you had to watch a movie, then you're ready to play, but you found you can't jump and it says you need to use MouseY (I still have no idea what it is), so I went back to option. However key binding isn't there, so I had to go for menu, it means you lost saving progress. I changed jump key to Numpad 0 again. I had to watch movie again then it required MouseY again for jump. It went cycle four or five times. I've had enough of it. It kept scrambling your key bindings. I found that there are other people who have the same problems. I think it was designed for Xbox or PS4 or both, not so much for PC. Expand
