TL;DR - Enslaved was pretty ok and worth a playthrough if you can get it for cheap and don't mind an almost complete lack of depth.

If you enjoy a mindless action game with decently fun combat that you can just shut your brain off and mash buttons through, I'd definitely recommend Enslaved. That may sound like a negative review but I like to think it's just honest. This game won't blow your mind with deep characters, plot or mechanics but sometimes you just want to cruise through a game without having to worry about complex upgrade paths, convoluted plot points or a myriad of characters to remember. Sometimes you just want to beat the crap out of some mechs.

Now, there are some simple upgrades that can be done and the plot, while fairly superficial throughout most of the game, does have kind of an interesting twist at the end. Will any of it blow you a way? Almost certainly not. I personally enjoyed it well enough, though, to at least finish it, which I can tell you is rare. My expectations weren't exceptionally high, so that helped I'm sure, but I did get out of it precisely what I was expecting. Maybe that just means I'm not picky, who knows. But for what I paid for it, I'd say I got my money's worth.
