Oddworld: Soulstorm

This is a triumphant return to Oddworld. Soulstorm does fantastic things with Abe's story and shows some real advances with the developer's designs. Utterly excellent look, and a world that oozes with consumerist evils make this the definitive new Oddworld experience. There are absolutely no obstacles to heartily recommending this game to all players new and old. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Oddworld: Soulstorm is hands-down the best entry in the series to date. It takes everything great about these games and packages it up in a beautiful and modern adventure that mirrors its classic gameplay mechanics used for over 20 years. Some of the item management systems weigh on the pacing, and the controls take a few hours to master, but there’s just something unique in every stage that makes this adventure enjoyable from beginning to end.

The Mudokon indeed returns on an adventure meeting current standards, full of challenges and sadistic traps to be avoided by a well-placed roll. Like the disappearance of flatulence, our famous petomaniac does not completely let go of the gas, the fault of various inaccuracies in terms of handling, the camera, but also artificial intelligence. Soulstorm remains a well-orchestrated adventure with qualities as great as the greed of a Glukkon.

Abe's return in Oddworld Soulstorm is far from being a perfect experience but it's still an enjoyable mix of action, puzzles and platform. The game needs more polish on the I.A. side to become something special.

A highly enjoyable platform puzzler, with some cleverly complex set pieces and great presentation – but it lacks that final layer of polish that could have made it something really special.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is clearly a labour of love, and I can see that in everything it does. The ambition that bleeds into its story, characters, and gameplay are all evident, but the execution is just sorely lacking everywhere it matters. Perhaps my perspective on past games is warped by nostalgia, but this isn’t the road I imagined Abe and company going down. It’s in the right direction, but they’ve veered off course and landed themselves in a ditch.

This flashy remake of Abe's sequel is gorgeous to look at, but it rarely captures the excitement or feeling of the Oddworld forebears.

Incredibly hard however keeps you captivated to go back and replay the levels for the bonus content.

Cinematic story, engrossing world and good core gameplay spoiled by bugs and clunky controls…esp the terrible jump mechanics

Not as charming as the original 1990s games and less faithful remake unlike new n tasty. It's also missing enemy types. Challenging level design , decent graphics and an interesting and weird story make it worth a play. Quite buggy though.

Prós: - Gráficos Contra: - Todo resto ...........................................................

A very different although outdated game in many regards. Movement can sometimes be quite unresponsive and the crafting system feels forced and totally unnecessary. A few levels can be quite immerse and interesting but most of the time you're forced to sneak around a lot, slowing down the game play. Only play it if you get it for free and are interested in unusual platform games.
