This game is unfortunately a disappointment though it is also quite amazing and I'm glad that Oddworld is still around in the year 2021. There are still moments that this game is a bit glitchy in problematic ways even over a month since release (which I try to forgive but affects the way the game plays). Can be pretty unforgiving in an unfun way, mudokons will die thanks to random chance at times, and you will run into pretty steep inclines of difficulty just to get a passing rating on a level. These level ratings determine the ending of the game so they are important. There are innovations like counters for how many mudokons you've found and a crafting system that forces abe to fight rather than possess to fight, but it can get old. I like it but it needs more polish and different decisions.

After shelving I finished this. The ending cutscene didn’t play which sucked (this was after the patch), and there’s not a place for you to rewatch them (they are really beautiful movies) like in the good old oddworld games. I really hope that the patching continues because what’s there could be better. Maybe it’s my fault for buying it too early.
