10 AMAZING Video Games That Didn't Get Sequels

10. Enslaved: Odyssey To The West

Released in 2010 and developed by Ninja Theory, Enslaved is very loosely based on the classic sixteenth century story, Journey to the West, and is set in the far future, 150 years after a war has decimated the planet.

Rather than the grim and grungy post-apocalyptic scenarios we’re usually presented, Enslaved’s world is lush and vibrant; nature has reclaimed the destroyed cities, and everything is covered in overgrown vegetation.

The gameplay is a little basic and modal; it feels very much inspired by the first two Uncharted games released a few years previous. You’ll fight mechs, solve puzzles, and traverse the environment, but Enslaved manages to be greater than the some of its parts.

The performance of the two main characters - Monkey (Andy Serkis) and Trip (Lindsey Shaw) – is a major strength, their interactions help bring the otherwise serviceable story to life.

A sequel was planned, and perhaps with a few refinements Enslaved could have achieved genuine greatness, but any subsequent games were cancelled due to poor sales.
