It is through this unlikely pairing that Enslaved establishes a strong emotional connection. If he strays too far away or her heart stops beating, he dies. He must obey every order she dishes out or else he will experience unthinkable pain. She affixes a headband to his unconscious body and informs Monkey when he awakes that he is now her slave. His raw strength and athleticism provide a sharp contrast to the lithe Trip, who relies on her intelligence rather than her physical prowess to survive. After the crash, Trip comes upon Monkey, a fellow captive onboard the ship. But she doesn't survive her break toward freedom alone. Luckily for Trip, she has the technical knowledge to initiate an escape, which triggers an explosion that causes the entire ship to crash into Earth. After her village is raided by slavers, she finds herself trapped on a ship headed for a bleak future in which strict rules and swift punishment define her waking hours. Trip is either incredibly selfish or has a taste for irony. What Enslaved lacks in refinement, it more than makes up for in beauty, heart, and thrills. You have to put up with rigid platforming, slow-starting combat, and a camera that zooms in too close to the action, but these problems are just small pieces of a big picture. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a memorable adventure that uses a strong sense of place and excellently crafted characters to lure you into its postapocalyptic world. In this bleak tableau, two escaped slaves named Monkey and Trip must travel through this decrepit wasteland to find a hidden village that offers the only glimmer of hope. Mechs travel in small groups, attacking anything that moves, and the turrets that perch on higher ground shred anyone unfortunate enough to wander into their path. Pools of water mixed with toxic chemicals provide a deadly oasis that can be admired by sight but not touch.

Walls, ceilings, and floors have crumbled away, and the healthy foliage that covers every surface gives the appearance of a thriving ecosystem, though no humans are around to enjoy this taste of nature. The buildings still stand, but they are in a state of ruin. This is how the world will look after the war.
