[Bin There, Bought That, is a segment on the WGL where we go hunting for games that may have been overlooked in their initial release and deserve a second chance. With the number of games are coming out it is hard to catch them all, and even harder to fork out the cash on a tight budget. So we at the WGL are treasure hunting for old current gen games and will see how they stand up to recent releases. If you have any suggestions for a Bin There Bough That game, please tell us in the comments]
When a game is released timing is everything. Usually many publishers try and get games out for the holiday season. In October 2010 there were a ton of big name releases like Fallout: New Vegas, Medal of Honor, and Fable III.
Snuck in the season, was the new IP Enslaved Odyssey to the West. It boasted an engaging narrative and was Ninja Theories next game after the failure of Heavenly Sword. The game received pretty good review scores, netting a Metacritic Score of 82%. Unfortunately the hype for the game never came to fruition and the game disappeared into obscurity. Until today.
This week we are looking at quite possibly one of the best games to fall into obscurity, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Hit the jump to see if this journey is worth a second chance
