Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

The Best Sequel that Should be a Prequel

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.
