In essence this is
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee but updated with new visuals and audio. So read that short review to get the idea. Just a few observations..Yes the graphics have been enhanced, because all you spoiled brats have 4K monitors now, and a very good job they've done at it. Also the sounds changed/"improved" but I'm biased to that as I liked the less human-sounding voices of the original. But also on the visual presentation,
even though the general look is nice and clean and bright.. well, that's the thing.. it's too nice, too clean, too bright! The original atmosphere was dark and gloomy, much like Abe described the enslaved life in there.. But now it looks more like a bright-"happier" place to work at, which it isn't. So although I appreciate the effort to make it available to new audiences, I think they've gone a bit too far with the shiny-ness, clean backgrounds, lights etc.. I recommend it but I still prefer the atmosphere of the original.. You'll enjoy either!
Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence!Review posted on 18/12/2017, 19:53:00.
