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.
neutral · AI labelView post →Haven't done a Random Game Saturday for a bit! Here's Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, perhaps one of the finest "more of the same" sequels I've played. 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.

But I still wanted to explore the captivating world, & after researching the dev side to dispel the fear, I discovered a love for the media 😆

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 →Oddworld games are known for their unique design, and this one is no exception. However, the combat and bounty systems can be frustrating at times. When the game pits you against around five enemies, it’s fun and creative but once that number doubles, it quickly becomes annoying. The main issue is that the game encourages you to capture enemies rather than simply defeat them. Your ammo is designed to knock them out, but capturing them afterward often puts you in harm’s way and can easily get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow - probably the most fun I've had with a Steam game in months. Excellent port that runs like a dream on modern hardware. A thinking man's FPS where you can approach combat in so many different ways and experiment with varying success. Hysterical voice acting and dialogue that you just don't hear in games today. Nice ongoing, scaling difficulty that tests you but never cheaps you out. Massively recommend this one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Platinum 167 - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Was such a joy to return to this game after so long. A favourite as a kid, yet only the second time I've finished it. Saved all 99 too. Now onto Abe's Exoddus! #MegaPlatinumList #Platinum #PlatinumTrophy #PlaystationTrophy #Oddworld
positive · AI labelView post →Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD sharpens visuals, improves audio, and adds polish like achievements and new menus. The core gameplay, controls, and some dated design quirks remain, but overall it’s the best way to experience the game today.

Which is a shame because I absolutely love this game and it's my favorite Oddworld game, but it definitely needs to be patched. Not only to fix bugs but to give us Steam Cloud as well. I hope one day it does get patched, but right now approach it warily because as I said some people can't even play it that well without some workarounds. If they are nice enough to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s like a spaghetti western if Clint Eastwood had fangs and anger issues with a touching story about capitalism, justice, and violently launching chipmunks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To fix resolution go into local files for the game, select the bin folder, then right click "stranger.exe". Click on properties, then compatibility and select "override high DPI scaling behaviour" then when booting up the game set it to 1600x900. For controller support, disable steam input. With that out of the way enjoy an underrated blast from the past!

I think the last videogame I played was Oddworld, which might be a bit much for my lot. My husband was playing a cricket game at the weekend though. They'd love that, and I have enough for 4 teams 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →A surprisingly interesting take and twist on adventure and FPS games with well thought-out, fun, methodical and challenging gameplay and level design that rivals the likes of Halo and Half-Life. This game stands out in comparison to the other Oddworld games due to having completley different characters, gameplay style, tone and setting. I hear almost NOBODY talk about this game in particular, I think it might be another underrated hidden gem. Any Stranger reading this review should definetley…

Played this so much I picked it up on the android version, which is much prettier and no cheating compared to the xbox version. Beat it on Android also. Still like it, so I made sure to pick up the steam version. Didn't play it much here, but this overall is a good game. Little old by today's standards, but worth playing if you haven't had the chance. Its a FPS where you collect ammo from the environment. After a surprise story twist you can later get unlimited…

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 →For it being my first game in the oddworld franchise, this game's pretty good. From the way you interact with the townsfolk to stranger's voice that i swear needs a cough drop, it's a fun short romp. Yeah the aiming system is pretty ancient compared to today's standards, but it's still fun. Only issues I had was that for some reason I couldn't play at 1080p and the framerate was all over the place, even with everything turned off. Overall, would recommend.
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.
