It’s a shame that gamers will have to take the initiative to do a little tweaking, but then again, PC gamers are no strangers to tweaking. After making the necessary changes specific to my PC I restarted the game and was witness to something entirely new – something that could easily pass for an Xbox One or PS4 game.
But after a quick trip to the Steam Forums I found a remarkable post that told of a configuration file you could open in Notepad and edit about a dozen variables. Shimmering textures and poor framerate was giving me a headache and I was ready to wrap up my review for the PC version after the first horrible level. There are so many aliasing issues and horrible screen tearing the game is virtually unplayable.
If you download this game from Steam and play it as released the game will look like crap and I hate to use that word. Despite having three years to tweak the in-game menus nobody bother to create any type of video settings aside from picking your resolution. With a respectable gaming rig Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Premium Edition is going to look and play just as good as any other game releasing in 2013 – it may even approach Gen 4 quality if you take the time to tweak some hidden settings.Īnd therein lies my one and only complaint with the game. I’m not sure why it has taken so long for Namco to port this game to the PC, but I’m secretly glad they did, because I know whatever PC I was running back in 2010 was nowhere near capable of running the game as it appears today. Released at a time of stifling Christmas competition, Ninja Theory’s action-brawler-adventure never achieved the commercial success it deserved despite still being heralded by critics and those who did play it as a phenomenal piece of work. It’s been just over three years since Enslaved: Odyssey to the West appeared on the Xbox 360 and secured its spot as one of the best games nobody ever played.
