Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is an awesome game! I played it on Playstation and obviously used a controller. On my game page it says that this game doesn't have controller support and was designed NOT to use a controller. WTF This is a terrible port! Not recommended

"Objectively" the best Oddworld game, even if I prefer Stranger's Wrath, New 'n' Tasty and Soulstorm. But make no mistake, this is classic stealth platforming at its best, and it absolutely blows its predecessor out of the water. The repetition, claustrophobia and unreactivity of of Abe's Oddysee is solved with a quicksave feature that reduces iteration time, a wider variety of locales, dozens of new mechanics, more …

A classic from the PS1 era, Exoddus is the best Oddworld game. Part platformer, part puzzle game and part stealth, the world and characters are memorable and fun. It can be a pain to play on a keyboard though, especially since some areas demand fast and precise movements to survive and Abe can feel sluggish at times. Thankfully, the game has a quicksave feature, which is a godsend because you'll be dying a lot …

Critics, per Wikipedia
In January 1999, the Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland presented the PlayStation version of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus with a "Gold" award, indicating sales of at least 100,000 units across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Abe's Exoddus received mostly positive reviews upon its release. Edge praised Abe's range of abilities because they can be used in "lateral [and] unrelated" ways, but criticized the general gameplay for being similar to its predecessor. In contrast, GameSpot stated, "though the Exoddus gameplay is essentially more of the same, it's more of a good thing". PC Zone praised the game's cutscenes, stating that "the cut-scenes are brilliantly created (especially in the…

I was obsessed with this series ever since playing a PSX demo of this one, up to Munch's Oddysee; which felt like some crazy subversive art future to me while anticipating its release. A unique game not sure if it holds up!

Beautiful pixel art, amazing soundtrack, VOICE ACTORS. Plus an AMAZING story where each character gets a beautiful dramatic backstory. A masterpiece.

Quiksave, expanded possession and GameSpeak; a true expansion of Abe's Oddyssey. Another one for the "Oh, THAT'S where my politics came from." pile.

positive · AI labelView post →This is one of the greatest games of all time. This is to platforming and video game storytelling what Ocarina is to Action-Adventure, what Final Fantasy VII is to RPGs, what Halo is to First-Person Shooters, what EA is to weaponized incompetence and over-pricing. And it has a message that is desperately important. Also fart jokes as gameplay.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a copy-paste of my review for Oddyssee. Although they are separate games, they are very similar at core which is why the following applies for 99% of both games, and differences I've explicitly mentionned. tl;dr: Exoddus is basically Oddyssee with a few more gameplay features/QOL features, and more content. Play Oddyssee first if possible, as it is simpler and shorter and Exoddus elaborates on it. The 2D Oddworld games (Oddysee, Exoddus) are classics of their time. They are essentially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my all time favorite games. Brings back that nostalgia from when first played the game. I really wish they could do a proper remake or revamp the franchise. If you love 2D platformers, with good story and art direction, plus puzzle solving this is a cool game to pass time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a gamedev from a respected studio tell me that same rumour about Steam pushing exclusivities. All it takes is a little digging to find out that's false. Some people were upset when Steam was installed with Valve's own games as a launcher, and later more and more devs launched their games on Steam as a store because they wanted to. The alternative, Games For Windows Live, was lame and unstable. It was just the a smart choice for those that didn't want to make their own launcher. Also, don't…
neutral · AI labelView post →Personally, I much prefer Abe's Exoddus to Abe's Oddysee. I played a demo for this way back in the day on a PS1 demo disk, and I knew I had to have it. I'm god-awful at these two games but man I love them anyway. The designs of the different creatures are insanely memorable and the world building is extremely cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1) So many games that I even upvoted that are still absolutely amazing haven't really aged perfectly control- or gameplay-wise, but Oddworld could be released today and it would still be perfect.
positive · AI labelView post →Best game ever made, had it when it first came out, still amazing; for the time and place it was, it was perfect, and easily, AAA+ quality. Cut scenes back then were unreal to my tiny mind and eyes. Still the best game imo. I wish, Oddworld was still around and a more realised, universe.
