As with Oddysee, this game is a treat. It is well known that it had a rushed 9 development cycle, but that makes it more impressive. What you may not know is, despite the small time allocation, they still updated things. Watch the Security Eye animations in both games. They still found time to alter it. I absolutely recommend this game. It's story is great, its visuals are fantistic and stand above the remake's. Voice work is fantastic. Though, I never knew why Abe sounded like he had a cold during this outing. (Must've got it in that trek from Monsaic to Necrum). As with its predeccesor, the modding community is huge. There are mods out there that take days to complete. Some are downright cruel, while others are works of art. Inspiration is not only enjoyed, but supported by OWI, and I think that, on its own makes this something special. Call me an old sap, but I can't actually think of anything to criticize, given the rushed dev cycle. Sure, there are changes. The "enemy in next screen" piano is gone, though is still in the game files. All o Ya is a welcome addition. I think everyone's said that by now. If you REALLY want a nitpick, I would say that the Necrum Vault trials (Mudomo and Mudanchee) are filler. Beautiful, well designed filler. Abe should have the Weirdos' trust by now, but I guess those guys are stingy. But, it is so well made up for. New additions, gorgeous backdrops and level designs make those levels breeze by. Even moreso once you've slogged through the GBA version. In conclusion, (and to stop me writing a novel) I would say, even if you haven't played Oddysee, you should play this. Yes, it comes in the Oddworld Classic pack, but if you want to get a feel for Abe's controls, this one instructs you a bit better. Yes, you may lose some context, but they actually have a dedicated recap just before you start the game. Before long, you'll know all the tricks, and be a pro in no time...says me who's been playing it for 20 odd years.
This is one of the greatest games of all time. This is to platforming and video game storytelling what Ocarina is to Action-Adventure, what Final Fantasy VII is to RPGs, what Halo is to First-Person Shooters, what EA is to weaponized incompetence and over-pricing. And it has a message that is desperately important. Also fart jokes as gameplay.
a better version of abe's oddysee, quick loading is a game changer as opposed to restarting you to check points. few gameplay changes (including things like mudokons of various states) but if you played the first game this will be no mystery to you still recommend modding the game with something like relive to fix common modern issues like laggy cutscenes unfortunately much like oddysee i dropped this one, i am not god's strongest soldier when it comes to trial and erroring my way out of puzzles... i am sorry abe....
This is a copy-paste of my review for Oddyssee. Although they are separate games, they are very similar at core which is why the following applies for 99% of both games, and differences I've explicitly mentionned. tl;dr: Exoddus is basically Oddyssee with a few more gameplay features/QOL features, and more content. Play Oddyssee first if possible, as it is simpler and shorter and Exoddus elaborates on it. The 2D Oddworld games (Oddysee, Exoddus) are classics of their time. They are essentially puzzle-platformer games. Controls-wise, they kinda build upon the original Prince of Persia (1989) and the like, but improve the formula on multiple ways. tl;dr: controls may feel oldschool to a modern gamer, but once understood are 100% precise. Gameplay-wise, there is actually a lot to do despite this being at core a platform game. Abe (main protagonist, of "Mudokon" species) sometimes will use speed (run from the dangers, quick enough), but most of the time will need wits to advance through the game. His goal is to save his companions from certain death where he used to work, but to that end, he has got to acquire special powers by passing trials (more screens/puzzles) in two uncivilized regions, with equally dangerous traps and creatures. The player can try to save all Mudokons (very difficult, as there are secret passages), save all he finds (easy enough), or save the least of them he can (are you trying to be mean on purpose or something ?). The normal ending requires saving half of them and is easy enough to achieve. So, Abe has got a set of basic platformer-character actions. He can walk, crouch, crouch-run, run, jump (forwards, or upwards, can grab a ledge), sneak (silent walk), etc. and can also manipulate levers, pulley-based elevators and a few other machines. He can also grab and throw a few objects (rocks, meat balls, grenades). Now, Abe can also: - chant to take complete control of some creatures (one at a given time), or eventually command them to die. - speak with fellow Mudokon characters (simple stuff like "hello", "follow me", "stop" etc.). Feature is called "GameSpeak". Most creatures are agressive, except Mudokons. To save Mudokons, you basically have to speak and guide them a bit like the lemmings you have to save in Lemmings. Except hopefully orders are simpler, and Mudokons are not unstoppably suicidal. They will follow Abe to portals, through which they safely escape. Creatures' AI in Oddworld is simple and goes like clockwork so that the gameplay is not ambiguous. That's about all there is to it, but it allows for countless situations with little repetitivity. Exoddus is the same at core, except that there are more news ways to solve puzzles. New creatures (and Abe can take control species he previously couldn't), new abilities. A few QOL features as well. A few supplementary GameSpeak words for finer guidance, as well as a Quicksave (save at any moment, instead of checkpoints only) feature. I did not talk of the scenario/story, because they oftentimes are secondary to me in games, but what we have here is above average expectations for a platformer game. Oddyssee/Exoddus feature simple but efficient stories (of the Miyazaki kind, short of better comparison) with a moderate use of FMV cutscenes, as well as multiple endings, as mentionned previously. ps. be warned that the 2D Oddworld games are difficult, but mostly fair games. I haven't tried the new 2.5D Oddworld games (New'n Tasty / Soulstorm) but have heard that they unfortunately lack the precision-platforming of the oldies. The original games are the good kind of old-school. There have certainly been older and more recent attempts to put puzzles into platforming, but these games may very well be the finest out there, and the chanting + GameSpeak features make them truly unique and memorable.
One of my all time favorite games. Brings back that nostalgia from when first played the game. I really wish they could do a proper remake or revamp the franchise. If you love 2D platformers, with good story and art direction, plus puzzle solving this is a cool game to pass time.
