New 'N' Tasty! Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - Standard Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

I loved the original growing up since the very first time I played the demo disc from Official PlayStation Magazine, and I loved this remake just as much for feeling like how I remembered the game in my head. Games should generally be appreciated for what they are rather than blasted for what they're not, but that's very difficult to do in this case. Hope it’s fixed soon, its hard to read the review itself and the pros and cons are almost impossible to see. Then a few years later I played the remake and I definitely didn't feel it was as good as the original, though I couldn't quite put my finger on why.

It's not nearly as absorbing – you're no longer at the mercy of a hostile world, you're simply playing a game. However, this is a frustrating game by design much more than by mistake, so while a couple of things could have been made to feel more fluid, this is still a good interpretation of the original’s gameplay with enough smart choices to make it less punishing than the original release.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.

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. I bought one for my daughter to play Tekken during lockdown and she's ended up playing through Abe's Oddysee quite recently. This is still a slightly clunky game, however, as Abe is definitely not as nimble as other platforming heroes. I don’t think You guys should be allowed to review oddworld games, you gave munches oddysee a 4 and this game a 6!

The remake is visually appealing, but it ended up sapping away much of the charm of the original game.

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. This core concept ensures that the gameplay still holds up, and is incidentally the reason it’s still such fun to play. Great on Nintendo Switch • QuikSave meansthe player can save and reload at any point during gameplay – perfect for on-the-go gaming sessions. 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. Environmental storytelling paints a picture of a dark world in disarray, and through the smoke, you’ll often be able to pick up hints as to what each button or lever will do.The screen divisions made each space stand alone; it made you, as a player, consider what you were faced with. At the time New 'n' Tasty originally launched (the halcyon days of 2014), its source material was widely available on PlayStation 3 and Steam. Also don’t trash the lack of difficulty, as not everyone played Abe’s Oddysee and probably not many Switch owners ever heard of Oddworld before, it still has some challenge to offer. 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.

Sounds like that recent review for mario all stars talking about how the Nes mario games are so much better because they're original and the snes all stars was a poor remake. Flashlink99 I didn't trash the lack of difficulty so much as just observe that it has never been a game I'd personally consider super challenging. But, you see, it is, because Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty does so much wrong and is in many ways so utterly redundant that it's difficult to keep a cool head when approaching it. He can also speak, and using different commands such as “Wait” and “Follow Me” he can recruit Mudokons and try to escort them to portals and escape in one piece.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. Late one night he overheard plans from his boss, Molluck the Glukkon, to turn Abe and his fellow Mudokons into Tasty Treats as a final effort to rescue Molluck's failing meatpacking empire! New N Tasty is much more playable compared to the original, looks better, sounds better and is a faithful remake that just improves on things. While Abe might not be able to fight, he can run, jump, and sneak to evade enemies with his friends in tow.
