Critics, per Wikipedia
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! received positive reviews. Aggregating review website Metacritic gave the Xbox One version 86/100 based on 6 reviews, the PlayStation 4 version 84/100 based on 50 reviews, and the Microsoft Windows version 87/100 based on 12 reviews. GameSpot's Daniel Hindes stated that the game is a remake that "was crafted with love and respect" and praised the puzzles, environments, new visuals, and the dynamic camera, but had issues with Abe's walking and running both being mapped to the left thumbstick, leading to occasionally imprecise platforming as he found himself running into traps when he meant to walk slightly. Hindes was also critical of in-game advertising, in which…

positive · AI labelView post →The #RandomGameSaturday for me today is Oddworld Abe's Odyssey for the PC! 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!
neutral · AI labelView post →Valkyrie Profile was this $20 game I bought at Best Buy instead of Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey, and I never regretted that decision. 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.

Oddworld is such a special series for how nuanced it is in discussing things like corporate overreach, slavery, substance abuse, depression etc Game looks and plays beautifully!
positive · AI labelView post →The game grid is hard because I wanted to avoid slapping Oddworld into multiple categories lol. Also a lot of "tied for X" like retro is a toss up between rampage and blast corps.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oddworld… The first game I bought with my own money (I still have the receipt as faded as it is). I loved the narrative and how beautifully these well crafted creatures designs and the world were unapologetically themselves. I could talk endlessly about what I love of the first game and series.

positive · AI labelView post →For starters, the art direction here is a huge downgrade from the original. The oppressive atmosphere is gone. The realism is gone. Vibes at Rupture Farms have gone from "Swab the floor wrong and you get a beatdown" to "Chatting over a coffee in the office break room". Super disappointing. All the puzzles in this "Puzzle Platformer" are broken because there's no more tile based movement, and we are now rendering in 3D, so puzzles can't be separated between screens like the OG version, which…

positive · AI labelView post →This is such a huge disappointment. The original Abe's Oddysee is a game with rough edges, but a complete and intact vibe. The original developers had a vision for a dark and creepy game with sublime ambience punctuated with occasional goofy humor and through their art style, sound design, and game design they brought that vision to life. This remake shares none of that vision, and changes made to movement, platforming, and art style all make this less than the sum of its parts. It is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my second time buying and playing through this game. I originally bought it on PS4 when it came out and played through it start to finish. I was really disappointed with it at the time and had little interest in coming back to it. I did eventually buy it on Steam again and decided to try it again and go for some achievements, since the Oddworld games on PS1 are some of my childhood favorites of all time. Now that I've come back to this game, I wish I could give it a good review, but I…

positive · AI labelView post →Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty had the perfect chance to bring back that raw, unapologetic punch of Abe’s Oddysee—a game that was more than just a platformer. It was a bold, exaggerated take on corporate oppression, where RuptureFarms wasn’t just a factory, but a relentless machine chewing up lives for profit. The dark humor, brutal atmosphere, and oppressive visuals hit you hard, making the message crystal clear: you were fighting a system that didn’t care about anything but its bottom line. But in…

neutral · AI labelView post →it's alright in a vacuum and a cute remake and i'm glad it brought oddworld inhabitants back to making games kind of, but it's outclassed by the original in pretty much all aspects, the atmosphere was more intense, the ambience was more immersive, the sprites and artwork were more striking and the platforming was more deliberate because of abe's weight and momentum. just play the original and play this one if you beat the original 16 times already. also that credits song lmao wtf
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IT HAS BEEN A WHILE... CAN YOU HEAR THEM TOO? THE DRUMS OF LIBERATION !!! Our Joyboy Abe is back in this tough but beautiful remake! The 1997 classic returns with a punch from the past, teaching us what real difficulty is. This remake offers many quality of life improvements and is an upgrade in every way possible. Yet it does not stray from its original formula and keeps the gameplay and story intact. A quite tough puzzle platformer which can be frustrating but in the end is a blast!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very faithful remaster of the original, which is not a good thing. Oddworld: Abe's Odyssee was a game known for being a poor puzzler disguising as a platformer. Controls are very stiff and unresponsive, with Abe moving on a grid and frequently coming short or long of jumps, throws, and literally any action. Gameplay involves a lot of dying and quick-loading. A lot. An entire lot. It is designed around it. If you love reaching a new screen and dying to each and every hazard as you figure out…

neutral · AI labelView post →Play the original PS1 version if you can, this remake is not worth it. Doesn't live up to the quality put into the development of the original game. The original had high quality FMVs that made the world feel real, whereas this feels uneventful and doesn't feel like the world has any life to it. I don't think the devs of this version understood or appreciated certain details about the planet and the ecosystem from the original, it just doesn't capture the same feel or atmosphere that the…

It's not about being nostalgic. Original was so dark, graphics was a plesaure to our imagination back then, perfectly captures the atmosphere AND STILL IS. Played original recently and what a show this game is! Really... But this? Only thing that is better in remake is resolution. Nothing, nothing and nothing more. What a waste. Gladly they didn't touch Exodus…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can shrug past this remake drifting over the original's atmosphere and artistic intent (debateable, I know), but this game is entirely abandoned with dodgy controller support that will never get fixed. Yes, I know it's been almost 10 years, but I'm able to launch even older games that long fell out of support with perfectly fine controller support. I really love Oddworld, but this just isn't it when it can barely provide the most bare necessities in terms of user experience. The original…
