opinions?

Almost an immaculate video game if not for some uneven challenges. Probably the single best game world ever created (while not necessarily being the overall best piece of work).

incredible game, great atmosphere and gameplay, super-fun and just the right challenge. this and pic related were the games of my childhood I never beat but loved to play over and over.

>> No.954906

Amazing game but I prefer Exoddus. For me Oddysee wins on the atmosphere end of things. Two of my favorite games.

They sure cancelled a shitload of Oddworld games, what happened?

At least there's hope for a franchise rebirth now that New 'n Tasty is coming out.

Apparently, after this shit-ass new version of Abe's Oddysee, they're making the stupid RTS (why, Lorne?) and then finally Sligstorm. I bet it'll suck after sitting on the back burner for so long, though.

I really do wish we had an entirely new platformer featuring Abe, but that's good for now.

What about it makes you say it's ''shit-ass''?

I always wanted the other games in the "quintology", though Munch was a step down from Abe, and including Abe as costar only helped to water down the new elements. It'd be cool if they explored vastly different regions of Oddworld.

At least you can admit it.

Yeah Munch's game wasn't outstanding but I did enjoy it. Although I was eleven at the time. I still find it weird how the interoduced stuff to the lore like the Mighty Raisin and acted as if we were supposed to know about him.

I'll never forget finishing Exoddus 100% and getting that message about the next game. It was amazing.

Worth playing for the novelty value alone, but it's also one of the best 2D platformers ever made.

Novelty value?

>> No.954993

>>954985
Talking with the other aliens and the setting in general. I think there's some novelty value to it. Though I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense when the game is 15 years old.

also, what if, a studio made a new oddworld 2d game, with beautiful modern graphics and slightly more complex gameplay and go 70% heavy on atmosphere quality, 30% on story..?

I guess it's a possibility if the upcoming remake does well.

Loved it
I used to start chanting the meditation idly and then my little sis would pretend to be a stig. Fun stuff
