Rented Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and though the look of the game and the retelling of the classic story are interesting, as well as the voice acting and the animation, the gameplay mechanics make me want to rip my own face off. The Cloud, a device the main character uses to zip about through levels, is about as jerky and cumbersome as that fucking jetboard from Jak 2 and 3 and there's a boss level that I absolutely refuse to play because it involves chasing one of the boss bots, a giant ambulating meat grinder called a dog, across a lake of toxic waste, trying to avoid a bunch of hap-hazardly placed bombs that the asshole you're trying to meet has laid to prevent anyone from visiting. All of this is done while on the cloud, weeble-wobbling me into the mines.
So, enough of this shit.
