an good although janky 2010 gem, good writing and compelling characters supported by an fabulous voice-cast with Andy Serkis standing out as the lead and great technical prowess for it's time in terms of facial animation.
the gameplay is decent and does it's job done although it does lack some polish in most of the fronts is going for, the combat is simplistic and somewhat clumsy when surrounded by multiple enemies not to mention the camera messing up whenever Monkey hits an enemy but even with those problems the combat surprisingly kept me engaged whenever I was hitting and killing enemies thanks to the good sound-effects and visual effects, platforming takes on the automated route first introduced in Uncharted who has been a hit during that time and it is enjoyable throughout even if it lacks challenge until the end-game sections.
decent enemy-variety but the mechs themselves look uninspired and generic, boss-fights are not much better with the Dog enemy being re-used a few times with the same boring stun-lock/punch cycle until you ride him after melting down his two gigantic health bars.
the post-apocalyptic setting is not really fully realized here though, it has an nice atmosphere but it's lifeless in terms of storytelling, would have loved to see more context about the world.
overall an good game, it has an good length for it's level of polish in terms of gameplay mechanics which will likely become repetitive in 2 or so hours of playtime, the story and characters definitely kept me engaged to see the finale and it's by far the game's strength.
