History YMMV / EnslavedOdysseyToTheWest

** At one point, Trip and Monkey stumble upon an aquarium where the fishes inside it have survive for almost 200 years by building their own ecosystem. Moments later, a Mech destroy said aquarium.

** The DLC ends with Pigsy realizing too late that his robot buddy, Truffles, has always been his friend moments but he is too stubborn to realize it and takes him for granted. In his final moments, Truffles gives out one last smile before shutting down permanently. [[spoiler:It is no wonder Pigsy is willing to follow Trip and Monkey on a suicide mission and willingly sacrificed himself. He doesn't want to lose his friends again]].

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation is beautiful to look at, and has aged very well since the game's debut. Aside from the [[SceneryPorn stunning world design]], there's also the character animations. Monkey, Trip, and Pigsy all look incredibly lifelike without falling into UncannyValley.

* SurprisinglySimilarStories: [[https://youtu.be/vR30frv_wV0 As SuperButterBuns points out]], its character arcs are similar to VideoGame/TheLastOfUs.

* GuideDangIt: Finding every Tech Orb in the game (there's an achievement/trophy for it). While you likely wont have trouble finding the vast majority of them (say 70 to 80% per level), finding ALL of them will require careful use of a guide. Even worse is the fact that some orbs are glitchy, and sometimes will either randomly not be there, or will disappear if you don't grab it fast enough.
** Finding every Mask as well.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The gameplay is consistently cited as the game's weakest point, but the voice acting, visuals, and writing is agreed to make up for it.
