The game is easily one of the most visually original of the year, tells a good story, is well acted, fun to play and has a decent Metacritic of 81. Given that the game was released a few weeks ago now you can assume – with only 75K global sales of the PS3 version - that it has been a sales flop. The big surprise for me though is the continued absence of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West from the Top 10. To capture these screenshots, I used a Cheat Table made by One3rd for freecam control, built-in post-processing, depth of field and FOV.If you saw yesterday's charts you'll have seen that Fable III is top and that Force Unleashed 2 didn't do quite as well as you may have expected.

I use custom SweetFX to enhance the vibrance and contrast of colors, and GeDoSaTo to take images at high resolutions.

The aesthetic of nature reclaiming abandoned spaces is done well (and to a bit of an extreme!) but is amazing to discover. Andy Serkis (voice and mo-cap actor of Gollum from Lord of the Rings and Caesar in the new Planet of the Apes films) plays the main character Monkey and does a standout job.ĭespite some bad textures here and there, the environments are nicely detailed. The tiniest facial expressions and movements feel totally natural and believable because of their use of motion performance capture, and the voice acting is top tier. The game is beautiful despite its age-it originally released in October 2010-and really excels in its expressive characters. Įnslaved: Odyssey to the West is not as well known as it should be. Pixel Boost is our weekly series devoted to the artistry of games, and the techniques required to run them at high resolutions.
