Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus started out pretty decently. Not bad, but basically the first game with a reskin. But then, just as I was getting to what I assumed was the endpoint, the game kept going, for quite a while, and felt fresh and different! While the first couple of acts feel like a clone of Abe's Oddysee, further ones introduce newer mechanics, a more detailed story, and even improves on a failing of the previous game. That one had no final confrontation, just abruptly stopping, but in Exoddus you actually encounter and defeat the three villainous Glukkons, and in unconventional ways, too! Unfortunately the game ended up feeling a little too long for me, especially in how much game there is left after dealing with the three main antagonists. At least it can't be criticized for being short. ;) The graphics all look fine, just as they did in Abe's Oddysee, while the gameplay is all fluid. The difficulty is a little less frustrating than the first, but still hard. It's improved greatly by the new autosave function though, which is a blessing! Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is a fun game, and a good sequel, well worth playing...
