The verdict
A faithful, good-looking remake of Abe's Oddysee with handy quicksaves, but floaty controls and broken gamepad setup sour many players. Skip it if you want controller ease or the original's feel.
Great for
Nostalgic Oddworld fans and newcomers who enjoy hard trial-and-error puzzle platformers, played on keyboard
Main risk
Clunky analog movement and controllers that don't work out of the box
