A character you meet later on your travels, Pigsy, is equally complex but much more often hilarious as you'll see in this video if you don't mind very minor spoilers. What at first appears to be a parasitic relationship quickly evolves into a much more symbiotic one as Trip becomes both an ally and tool for Monkey's combat strategy, rather than just someone holding him on a leash. The aforementioned Serkis and teenybop veteran Lindsey Shaw provide the voices for our heroes and infuse them with hilarity, anger, fright, compassion, and sadness at different times. Great environments and fun gameplay add up to a game that might be worthwhile but what really makes Enslaved a must-play for genre fans or story-centric gamers, are the characters themselves. It's the same "beautiful disaster" aesthetic displayed by Naughty Dog's recent hit, The Last of Us, but three years prior to Joel and Ellie's journey, Monkey and Trip were scavenging a similarly ravaged yet stunning terrain. The apocalypse Ninja Theory presents reveals a unique dichotomy of dilapidated villages and cities with lush greenery that has reclaimed Earth in the absence of Man.

For Monkey, he learns that Trip has placed a headband on him that only she can remove and grants her control over Monkey. When Monkey awakens from the impact that left him unconscious, he and the audience each discover new things. Quickly he meets Trip, a beautiful and somewhat mysterious young woman, and together they fight off their robot overlords and escape via emergency pod moments before the aircraft crashes. The game opens over a century into the future aboard a slaver aircraft after most of humanity has been wiped out by mechs. It's a modern re-imagining of the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, which was also a primary inspiration for Dragon Ball Z. Enslaved is a third-person action-adventure game from Ninja Theory.
