I seriously don’t know whether it is good that Enslaved: Odyssey to the West got released on the PC or not. I mean okay, it’s good to have this underrated title on our platform, however it puzzles me why Namco Bandai did not promote/advertise the PC version, and why did the publisher allow Ninja Theory to get away with such a mediocre PC port.
