I would recommend this game for anyone who is into adventure games with a ton of ass-kicking. One of the best games I have ever played, makes me think that this game is extremely underrated because it made its way up to my top 5 list. All in all, big portion of the game simply lacks substance, regarding depth of story and gameplay. I've encountered MANY technical difficulties before managing to make the game playable.

Relationships between them simply don't work and are growing awkwardly. +An awesome WTF ending -Linear gameplay, and I mean VERY linear -Can get tedious and boring at times -Story is executed weakly -Characters barely develop. Incredible locations +A very interesting take on the book "Journey to the West" +Incredible soundtrack +Nice, fluid and somewhat fun combat and "parkouring-ish", assuming you managed to get the game run well enough. Bottom line: +Amazing, lush, beautiful, graphics. It's just that, for several reasons, I just can't recommend it fullheartedly. +Nice, fluid and somewhat fun combat and "parkouring-ish", assuming you managed to get the game run well enough. +A very interesting take on the book "Journey to the West" It even manages to pull all this off one without any titillating moments of passion that could so easily have undermined the tenderness of the couples burgeoning co-dependence.Mind you, this game is NOT a bad one. Better togetherĮnslaved is a great action game, but also an interesting romance. The reclaimed world really draws you into the world, and Andy Serkis and Lindsey Shaw performances as Monkey and Trip really add to the story. Its also worth mentioning the game looks fantastic. Particularly when the roles reverse, and he finds himself needing her more than she need him. Indeed, eventually Monkey starts to see the headband as a blessing that allows him to stay close to Trip.

Suffice to say that at some point during Monkey's beat downs of the various mechanical monsters that the slavers send after them, and the wonderful world traversal through stunning environments, the two fall in love. There are multiple twists to this unexpectedly romantic tale. Monkey isn’t too happy, and makes various theoretical threats on her life, but slowly an affection and respect grows. Having previously seen him in action, she realizes that this feral inhabitant of the wasteland probably won’t help willingly, and so she slaps on one of the slavers headbands – a device that will explode if the two are separated or if her heart stops.
