andy serkis plays a weird version of sun wukong in this game based loosely on journey to the west. despite being written by alex garland, the story is kinda ok at best. the gameplay is climbing and fighting the same enemies again and again. its a brainless endeavor that becomes mushy after a while but it was the perfect mush for me to play while i lie in bed really sick
Between a story that undermines its character development through its central narrative. A world that doesn't truly ever capitalize on its inspirations. And Gameplay that is little more than spectacle I can't find many reasons to look on this game with a positive light. I truly believe that its epilogue is probably the only reason people remember this game so fondly.
It's not the worst game ever but you've played better titles similar to this before. Because of that I recommend you skip this.

I really like the visuals & animations, but I just get extremely bored with games that tell me what to do, at every step of the way... "Going through the motions" is what playing games like this feels like. No freedom, no thinking. I finished it, because it is a beautiful & well made game, but it was pretty damned boring... Felt a little like I was wasting my time.
Jump here, climb up here, jump here, jump here, climb down here, jump there.

Mais uma daquelas pérolas da geração PS3/360 que foram esquecidas.
O jogo começa meio morno, mas me capturou pela história. Uma experiência que não se estende o suficiente para se tornar cansativa de alguma forma.
História legal, bons personagens, gameplay divertida e final surpreendente!

Mais aventura que ação... do jeito que o pai gosta!
I had higher hopes for this game I'm ngl. I heard it was a hidden gem so I grabbed it for cheap, and while I did generally enjoy it, some of the mechanics were pretty maddening. The story especially seemed incredibly paper thin to me, with a not very satisfying ending.
Really great game. Good story. Harder difficulties are way too hard.
esse jogo é uma joia perdida, maravilhoso
Mochte die Charaktere (außer Pigsy) und die Musik. Gameplay war allerdings herzlichst langweilig, unausbalanciert und buggy af.
Die Story war außerdem vor allem gegen Ende hin ziemlich verwirrend und hatte größere Sprünge drauf als Monkey.
Grafisch waren die Face Animations schon ganz nice für die damalige Zeit. Die Kamera ist ein Huso.

pretty alr game nothing special
Originally played this on PS3 years ago but didn’t finish. Got round to finally finishing it on Steam Deck (Which it runs really well on). Always thought that the environment in the game was gorgeous and to be fair to it i still does. I love the overgrown abandoned aesthetic it has going on, and graphically it still holds up well. Gameplay was fun, but as the game went on i kind of felt myself wanting it to hurry up and finish. The whole “Climb up poles and parkour your way around until a mech ambushes you” got a bit old to me, and i felt like i was chugging through. The game suffered from some pretty bad glitches too, with Trip deciding to jump as far off the map as she possibly could, resulting in me having to restart whole chapters and hope it wouldn’t happen again.
Now i don’t know if i missed some context somewhere, but the ending felt like it was completely random to me? I’ve got to have missed something because i was so confused.
Game was solid when i first played it, but finally getting to finish it, i’ve decided it was just okay.
