enslaved started to really pick up about chapter 4 through the end. after you level your weapons up a bit & get used to the controls, it gets alot better. tbh, i was a little let down after playing just the 1st 2 chapters, but then it got way better & came into it's own after that (i even had a crucial part of the story spoiled for me, and still felt it was worth the playthrough). facial animations are fantastic, in case i haven't mentioned that. let me know what you think when you finish it.
