New 'N' Tasty! Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - Standard Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

There are 299 of his friends to save in total, and how many you save along the way will ultimately determine which ending you get. It's a lot of fun, still, and if you're not familiar with the original Abe's Oddysee, it's going to impress.

I got this game (the remake, that is) some time ago for PC, and it never grabbed me and left me wondering why the original had gotten such great reviews all those years ago. I know everyone has different standards, but I just always have trouble enjoying a side-scrolling game that doesn't run at 60. Using the huge moveset at your disposable, you’ll have to poke in every corner to find all the Mudokons, some of which are hidden in the most devious but rewarding places, with challenging puzzles to boot. But it's a less good version of a great game, and it looks and runs great, so it's still plenty of fun. In my very brief and not thorough survey it looks like it ran at 20 to 30fps on PS3, 35 to 60fps on PS4, 30 to 50fps on Xbox One, and mostly around 30fps on Switch.

I think this review may explain why I disliked it and after watching some in-depth videos on it, I have a much deeper understanding of why. Also don’t trash the lack of difficulty, as not everyone played Abe’s Oddysee and probably not many Switch owners ever heard of Oddworld before, it still has some challenge to offer. Puzzle platformer with two control schemes, to appeal to modern gamers and also provide for those who prefer a more digital approach.

In the case of games that use cloud streaming technology, only the free launcher application can be downloaded. I don’t think You guys should be allowed to review oddworld games, you gave munches oddysee a 4 and this game a 6! A quicksave feature has been added, but when you die it loads your last checkpoint rather than your last save.

While the single-screen compositions were dated even in '97, they served the action brilliantly, making each new area stick in the mind. I got the remake for free a few years ago in a steam sale, apparently I’ve played it for a total of one hour.

The screen divisions made each space stand alone; it made you, as a player, consider what you were faced with.I bought one for my daughter to play Tekken during lockdown and she's ended up playing through Abe's Oddysee quite recently. Can he escape the dark recesses of RuptureFarms and the desolate, uninviting, and downright terrifying surrounding environment? However, this is a frustrating game by design much more than by mistake, so while a couple of things could have been made to feel more fluid, this is still a good interpretation of the original’s gameplay with enough smart choices to make it less punishing than the original release.
