I'm not very high on cinematic platformers. Hell I find trial and error gameplay frustrating beyond belief. But for once a game with that kind of energy hooked me. The world of Abe's Odyssee is something to behold, the drop dead gorgeous pre rendered backgrounds, the atmosphere and the story is all masterfully done. Unlike most games in the genre the deaths are entirely your fault and you will learn from your mistakes. This isn't like Heart of Darkness where you die by random BS. This is the pinnacle of the genre for a reason. If you enjoy the genre or want a fantastic game to stare at this one is for you
