Buggy, lame story, not innovative
Ok, just hear me out... I am a huge Oddworld fan. I've played Abe's Exoddus when I was between 8-10 years old, and when I got older, Abe's Oddysee. It was fantastic. The dystopian feeling, the creatures, the analogies to real life, and the ironic humor were all incredible. I thought Munch's Oddysee would top that, but it doesn't. Firstly, it doesn't have the same dystopian feeling as the predecessors. It feels more like a parody of the previous games. In the predecessors, you had an anxious feeling when a Slig, Paramite, or Scrab was chasing you and could kill you with one hit. In this game, you don't have that. You can just revive yourself, and it takes many hits to kill you. This feels very disappointing and not challenging. Also, the story just feels different. They reduce Glukkons to characters who only care about money and are no longer the fearful bosses that scared you to death in the last games because they were so powerful because of their influence. They feel like worthless bozos, just like all the enemies in the new game. Additionally, the humor in this game feels like a Spaceballs parody. In the last game, there were such jokes, but they were incidental. This was acceptable because the whole game was serious. In Munch's Oddysee, it's the other way around. The whole story feels like a parody with occasional serious moments, but the ridiculous story undermines them. Secondly, the character designs of the new creatures are not enhanced nor creative. The Vykkers are pretty much Glukkons with arms, Big Bro Slig is just a bigger Slig that is not a threat, and Fuzzles are hairy balls, which have been shown countless times in other games, films, etc. The Meeps are just sheep with one eye... come on! Thirdly, this port is very buggy. I was often stuck in some places, or the NPCs that were following me got stuck. I even had to load a saved state because I could not get out. It was very disappointing. Sorry, Oddworld Inhabitants...
