Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

I can spend hours in my nostalgic moments with this game. The characters, the levels, the ideas, are out of this world... Actually in Oddworld...

Fantastic game that still holds up after all these years (Purchased on Steam) however played using the open source modernization tool R.E.L.I.V.E. Lets you play the game on modern systems and works flawlessly. 10/10 recommend it as the best way to play this game in 2024.

This is my all time favourite platformer game. Very unique, beautifully drawn backgrounds, funny characters, challenging gameplay and puzzles... It's all there. Try to rescue all 300 mudokons! ;)

The first two Oddworld games are still some of my favorite games of all time; Easily my top Platformers (though the Crash Bandicoot series would be a close second). The series gets easier as it progresses. I encourage anyone who is new to the titles to START with Exoddus, and treat Oddysee as a prequel. Why? because Oddysee was harder. QuickSave was a blessing when I first played this game about 14 years ago. In retrospect however, you will get so much more satisfaction nailing puzzles in one fell swoop (check points in Oddysee) rather than taking them a baby step at a time with QuickSave. Don't get me wrong, you'll still have many reattempts of the same puzzle, and you'll enter screens thinking "How the heck do I get the blind guy past that slog?". All in all an awesome title. As a side note, I really enjoy the overtones of Industry Vs Nature and the gritty feel to the whole world. Atmosphere is wonderful.

Improves from Abe's Odyssee where improvements were needed, doesn't try to fix anything that wasn't broken. Highest point in the series.
