It is there that he meets a technologically adept woman named Trip. Although they both escape the airship, Monkey gets knocked unconscious when crashing to the ground.
When he comes to, he finds that Trip has placed a slaver's headband on him in order to compel him to help her get home. She explains that she has hacked the headband so she can give him jolts of pain at will; and further that if Trip's heart ever stops, the headband will kill Monkey outright. As they try to make their way back to Trip's village they must fight mechs that have been lying dormant for years. The two of them have a strained relationship, but in order to survive this perilous world they need each other's help.

After a rough plummet from the ship to the Earth, Monkey awakens to find a Slaver's headpiece upon his brow. This woman, Trip, has enslaved him. The emotions they invoke draw you into the gameplay in ways simple combat never could. They're unfortunately rare though, and worse, are separated by other sloppy scenes.
Having a man and woman as the protagonists, naturally the developers had to introduce some notions of romance into the story. Enslaved will force feed the plot pieces to you intermittently, shouting in your ear that these attractive people obviously yearn for each other.
These elements come in stark contrast to other, more interesting personality traits. Monkey's torn emotions regarding his isolation from what's left of humanity , and Trip's quiet resilience despite being separated from everything she has ever known are intermittently laid aside and both become flirty, naive teenagers.
It all feels terribly awkward given the generally serious tone Enslaved has, especially when the character Pigsy is introduced. Pigsy's introduction follows what is, arguably, the most dramatic chapter of Enslaved, with a sequence of fart jokes and grade school, "Well if you don't like her I'm going to ask her out" scenarios that cheapens the story and breaks immersion. Of course, there is also Enslaved 's ending. Much of the game's setting is remarkably mysterious, so the kitchen sink is expected when you reach the climax.
What's waiting is a sloppy, confusing showpiece that neither provides closure for Enslaved 's wonderful characters or adequately defines the game's setting. That's not to say Enslaved doesn't attempt at providing closure, it's just that what's given is both cumbersome and graceless. Somewhere within Enslaved 's closing is a poignant idea - but the presentation and circumstance are unfounded. Combat and general gameplay in Enslaved also starts out strong. While direct combat is your typical action game fare, featuring strong or fast strike combinations, the addition of a variety of environment traversal puzzles, combined with action sequences, keeps your blood pumping.
Rather than expound on combining these two features, as the game progresses they are further pushed apart. Traversal section, combat section, traversal, combat - it's an unhappy divorce of two systems that work very well together. The traversal sections of Enslaved are extremely well done though.
Early chapters see Monkey and Trip leaping from street signs to crumbling buildings, through trees and over ravines. Later chapters take it up notch, let's just say they implement more moving parts dangerous moving parts. That feeling of excitement of leaping through a crumbling, nature reclaimed city feels the best though. Those later chapters seem so much more claustrophobic and straightforward. Perhaps that was the intention, taking those freedom filled moments from the early game and tightening them so you feel constrained later, but rather than seem clever, the gameplay gradually feels less inspired instead.
