A Journey West...ish

A Journey West

 For those of you that didn't know there is a new video game coming out on the 5th of October from NAMCO based on the ancient Chinese legend/epic originally telling of a mystical monkey and his rise to godhood while journeying west. Called Enslaved, the game is based 150 years into our future and takes place in the U.S. Now hold on, that may be a turn off to many of you but don't knock it till you try it! The story and visuals in the game are top notch. The game is developed by the extremely talented, U.K. based company Ninja Theory- whose renown began with a little game called Heavenly Sword for PS3.

 Just by playing the demo I can already tell you the game is ultra fun and has some of the most exciting and suspenseful moments I've ever played in a demo before. EVER. It's a third person action adventure/puzzler game that throws a couple of unique things in like ridiculously beautiful level design and great character animation not to mention some seamless cut scenes. Plus the actual character design and visuals are absolutely stunning- which is the kicker for me- so thank you NAMCO and Ninja Theory for developing a game that is both a new take on an awesome story and yet a completely original game that I am very much looking forward to.
