Every cutscene goes like this:

"You must save us, Abe!"
"But I can't!"
"But you can!"
"But I can't!"
"But you can!"
"Ok I can"


I can appreciate that this isn't a 1:1 remake, but it's a reimagining that doesn't capture the amazing atmosphere of the original Oddworld games, and despite so many QoL improvements controlling Abe is like controlling a brick more often than not, a bigger increase on reaction based action setpieces also doesn't do it many favours.


However, being a sub-par version of Abe's Exodus still makes it a decent game on principle.
