Is it still worth playing?

A loose adaptation of the Chinese novel Journey to the West, set 150 years after a global war, this 2010 action adventure has Monkey escort a girl named Trip home after a ship crash. Monkey fights from a third-person view with a staff that also fires stun and blast ammunition. He can finish low-health mechs by tearing the gun off a turret or hurling an explosive foe at others, raise a force shield, and glide over land and water on a hover board called Cloud. Defeated enemies drop tech orbs for new moves and more health. Platforming and puzzles fill the stretches between fights. A road trip across a ruined world has a pull that is still strong for anyone who likes a journey with company.
