Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

About

Oddworld: New n Tasty revamps a 20-year-old cult classic with modern visuals and mechanics while keeping its core gameplay intact. You play as Abe a mudokon stuck in a meatpacking nightmare who must outwit glukkon supervisors and save his species from becoming processed snacks. The action unfolds in 2.5D side-scrolling levels where precise platforming and creative puzzle solving let you rescue trapped workers and sabotage machinery. Cooperative play lets two players take turns controlling Abe with seamless handoffs after deaths. Environmental storytelling and dark humor fill the industrial wasteland of Rupture Farms. The remake adds sharper 3D graphics smoother animations and three difficulty settings but retains the original's challenging pacing. Community data shows 82% of Steam players gave it positive reviews with over 2 million combined play hours logged. Leaderboards track completion times and the expanded GameSpeak system lets Abe's commands evolve as you progress. While newer platformers offer faster action this title stands out for its tightly designed levels and grimly memorable world. Released in 2014 it still runs well on modern systems and remains a landmark in indie remakes.
