I love this game, but should you buy this specific version? No, emulate it. This port is the mobile phone port of the game. Much of the audio was altered for the worse, Textures are lower quality, and cutscenes are compressed. This is one of the farther removed games in the Oddworld series. The platforming is janky, companion ai gets stuck easily, and levels overstay their welcome. The split of playing Abe/Munch is …

im currently 17 and when i was between the ages of 8-12 i played this game at my grandmothers house in her basement on my grandpas original Xbox and the last time i played the game it crashed and i lost all of my progress (i was really slow at playing the game bc i was a little stupid) but ive recently got the game on steam and this is an amazing port other than the really odd key and mouse game play the controller …

Definitely borders on being the black sheep of the Oddworld series (though I guess in a world where Soulstorm exists that might not be so accurate) yet I found myself weirdly entranced by this game. When you get past the fact that it's a kinda shoddy puzzle platformer with atrocious combat and somehow light-almost-RTS elements there's definitely a weirdly "vibe-filled" experience to be found here. It's hard to …

played on original xbox when i was 5 or so at my uncles house. never got to play it again. i had been dying for years to be able to play it, and now i can. Such a good memory. and even then, attachments aside, i think this game was honestly so far ahead of its time and this is a severely underrated title. the only weird thing about the remaster is that you cannot play it in 1080p. however, it does still look pretty …

I love this game so much but this is a bad port. It's buggy and performance sucks. I can't bring myself to give it a negative review though.

Players who liked Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee talk about nostalgic and charming for those who played it as children; those who didn't talk about pC port is buggy with poor performance. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee received fair to positive reviews from critics upon its release in 2001. More critical of the title, GameSpot gave the game a 7.9, stating that it is "a very smart game with great puzzles, yet there's not enough variety in those puzzles to keep it completely entertaining throughout." IGN gave the game a 7.4, saying "The final product comes off as anything but polished, and suffers from a lack of variety, and an overabundance of repetition that keeps this game from truly shining like I wished it would. As much as I like the characters and the design of the new Munch game, I'm still hoping for the true spiritual sequel to my good old Abe." Next Generation reviewed…

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.

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…
