A mudokon chosen by the fickle finger of fate, Abe was a first class Floor-Waxer for RuptureFarms who was catapulted into a life of adventure. Some of the quality of life improvements are smart ones, most crucially the implementation of Abe's Exoddus' valuable "All o' ya" command, which allows you to engage multiple Mudokons in Gamespeak at once, meaning no more painstakingly ferrying them back and forth one at a time.

Innovative GameSpeak system that allows communication with NPCs, audio password input, issuing commands, etc. Abe might not be powerful, but between interacting with his environment and the many voice commands at your disposal, you have a really versatile moveset that was considered revolutionary back in the day and still impresses now. Would make it feel more generic for sure and fundamentally changed the gameplay for the worse as the review notes. Although I doubt the major criticism of the lack of segregated rooms and detail and atmosphere in the environments would’ve been affected much, that’s still cool that they took some of the criticism on-board.But, no, folks wanted their Abe action to get some sort of spit-shine, so in comes New 'n' Tasty "fixing" everything that wasn't broken and stripping the game of a good deal of its precision, atmosphere and general appeal. Lack of precision" doesn't makes sense, because the original game demanded a lot of kinda pixel-perfect-based action.

The difficulty has also been brought down overall, with more checkpoints located throughout, but fans of the original will find that ‘Hard’ difficulty here is the nearest thing to the original experience. I know everyone has different standards, but I just always have trouble enjoying a side-scrolling game that doesn't run at 60. You'd think, hang on, I have no idea what's coming next, and you'd sneak onto the screen just in case there was a Slig in the land of nod. Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is a ground-up remake of the seminal puzzle-platforming adventure, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.

A cinematic platformer akin to the original Prince of Persia, the game took place in a flip-screen world with pre-rendered background environments, focusing on timing-critical action, tense stealth and light puzzle-solving.

The remake is visually appealing, but it ended up sapping away much of the charm of the original game. Cut scenes could definitely be sharper as this port originally hit consoles in 2014, so it’s starting to show its age, but this is still a great looking title for the most part.
