A good game that’s a worse version of a another game.
Complicated feelings towards this one because it technically has many improvements to the original however in many ways it does feel like a downgrade. I feel like the atmosphere and themes were lost a little bit in this remake which is a massive shame and to me really doesn’t make this the definitive verison. I really wish this stayed closer to the orignal art direction. This game is too bright in general and a lot of the darkness is taken out completely in some of the environments. Rupture Farms doesn’t feel nearly as dismal or grimey as the ps1 orignal.
The gameplay however is kinda improved but in ways I don’t even like personally. It’s a lot easier and feels like everything has less weight. However Some of the improvements from Exoddus makes its way here which is nice. Still the easier challenge makes this game more accessible and I can see more people playing Oddworld cause of it. Even I have to admit I got into the series because of this game but ever since I got the ps1 orignal I prefer it.
Still can’t say this is a BAD game. it’s still good and I can see why someone would prefer this one. It’s basically just a more accessible and modernized verison of Abe’s Odyssey. A good but worse version of something great.
