With puzzles, strategy and a well-known story, this reimagined return to Oddworld should go down a storm
THE latest round of next-gen revamps comes from loveable goofy Mudokon slave Abe, in what is pitched as a reimagining of the story from 1998’s sequel Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus.
The principles remain very much the same – evade enemies and obstacles in constant 3D side-scrolling fashion.
It might not be the graphic fest most gamers would like for the PS5, but it still sparkles greatly.
The sheer variety of puzzling tasks and need for strategy make for an entertaining experience, alongside the well-known but still strong story – and who can say no to supporting an underdog?
A few bits were not entirely clear – accidentally or deliberate, it is hard to tell – as well as some minor glitches to note, but overall you will be sucked into the Oddworld saga once more. that stays true to its roots but not quite the impressive graphic boost PS5 owners might come to expect.
