Description

Selected by the fickle finger of fate, Abe, floor-waxer first class for RuptureFarms, was catapulted into a life of adventure when he overheard plans by his boss, Molluck the Glukkon, to turn Abe and his fellow Mudokons into Tasty Treats as part of a last-ditch effort to rescue Molluck's failing meat-packing empire.

During his escape from RuptureFarms, Abe received a vision from the mysterious Big Face, showing Abe that he must not only rescue his fellow Mudokons, but also protect all of Oddworld's creatures from the predatory Magog Cartel.

After completing arduous Temple trials, and journeying across a wasteland with his friend Elum, Abe was granted the awesome power of the Shrykull. Returning to RuptureFarms, Abe destroyed the foul slaughterhouse, rescued his buddies, and brought down some righteous lightning on top of Molluck's pointy head.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is a beloved classic that stands out as a truly unique and captivating platformer, offering a blend of clever puzzles, quirky charm, and heartfelt storytelling. Set in the beautifully strange and dark world of Oddworld, the game follows the journey of Abe, a humble Mudokon slave, who rises to become an unlikely hero as he attempts to save his fellow workers from a gruesome fate. The mix of dark humor, deep themes, and inventive gameplay has cemented Abe’s Oddysee as one of the most memorable games from its era.

The gameplay is a wonderful balance of puzzle-solving, platforming, and stealth. As Abe, you don’t rely on combat—instead, you must outwit your enemies and navigate through tricky situations using your wits and the game’s unique mechanics. Abe’s ability to possess enemies using “chanting” powers adds a fresh layer to the puzzle-solving, allowing you to control your foes and use them to help you progress. The challenge comes from timing your movements and making smart decisions to avoid traps and enemy patrols, which keeps the game feeling tense and rewarding.

The world of Oddworld is a huge part of what makes Abe's Oddysee so special. The game’s environments are beautifully detailed, filled with industrial factories, dangerous wildlife, and alien landscapes that give the game its signature style. The art direction, with its blend of organic and mechanical elements, creates a world that is both grim and enchanting. The story, which highlights themes of corporate greed and environmental destruction, is told with surprising emotional depth, making you truly care about Abe’s mission to free his people.

The humor in Abe’s Oddysee is another highlight. Despite its serious undertones, the game never takes itself too seriously, mixing dark humor with Abe’s endearing clumsiness and the bizarre, often grotesque characters you meet along the way. The contrast between the grim setting and the lighthearted tone makes the game both thought-provoking and fun.

What makes Abe’s Oddysee stand out even more is its unique “Gamespeak” system, which allows you to communicate with other characters in the game. This adds a layer of strategy to gameplay, as you must lead your fellow Mudokons to safety by giving them commands, adding a rewarding element of teamwork and rescue to the platforming experience.

Visually, Abe’s Oddysee was groundbreaking for its time, with smooth animations and beautifully crafted environments that still hold up today in terms of artistic style. The game’s sound design is equally impressive, with atmospheric music, eerie soundscapes, and quirky character voices that draw you deeper into the world.

In summary, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee is a standout platformer that delivers a truly unique experience. Its clever puzzles, memorable world, and heartfelt story make it a timeless classic. Whether you're a fan of challenging platformers or looking for a game with a bit more soul, Abe's Oddysee offers a journey through a world unlike any other, where your decisions matter, and the stakes are personal. It’s a must-play for anyone who appreciates inventive gameplay wrapped in a story that’s both touching and humorous.
