Slig guards (think robotic trouser-wearing slugs with machine guns) patrol areas with itchy trigger fingers, and will gun you down mercilessly on sight, snickering loudly as they do. However, Abe is a rather fragile fellow, and the areas you need to get through can be filled with all manner of hazards. The aim of the game is to progress through each dangerous and hazard filled area alive. He has no guns or any practical means of defending himself instead, all you have are your quick wits, a handy but limited possession ability and your noisy bowel (seriously) to make it through each screen.Ībe, our loveable schmuck/hero finds out that Mudokons are next on the menu.

With shinier graphics, new features, and plenty of new stuff to sink your teeth into, this is far from a simple resolution increase like some games we could mention (*cough* The Last of Us *cough*), having been torn to pieces, and rebuilt from the ground up for the latest machines, kind of like a director's cut.Ī 2D side-scrolling action adventure game, Abe's Oddysee was renowned for its unique art direction, cinematic CG cutscenes, challenging difficulty, and, of course, its oddball characters. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, a new release on PS4, soon to be released on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS Vita and PS3, is a remake of the 1997 original, packed to the rafters with upgrades and improvements.
