Like the best remakes, it changes just about everything to give you back the game almost exactly as you remember it - and the game you remember is still a vicious sideways glance at the way the industrialised world preys on the environment and on the dispossessed. HD remakes - even sumptuous all-new-asset reimaginings like Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! - are often doomed to a rather melancholic fate. For all the care and attention, there can be something perversely cruel about them. Beneath that warm familiarity and the sharp-edged dazzle, you see beloved games from the past rendered elderly, blinking and confused as they're bustled into the harsh light of the present day. Seriously, we used to do things likethat? We used to think this was fun? Oddworld is different. But wasn't Oddworld always different? Forget the grotesque artfulness of the animation and the slapstick pratfalls of the action: back in 1997, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was a puzzle-platformer driven by its theme, not its tech. This was satire in a medium that was still more used to buttery fairy tales or unthinking propaganda. Oddworld had something to say about our world - and the things it says are, sadly, more relevant now than ever."

(17.99) Finally! Waiting till 25th of February was sooo loong. The game first launched on 22nd of July last year, but only on Playstation 3 and 4. D: The original game was one of the first games I have ever played (really, I was playing them when I was 3 or something like that, then I came back to them when I was 5, and now I will again), however, it sure was the first really memorable game. It was and still is simply amazing . Currently downloading it. Can't wait to play it. Also, it's nice to see them supporting so many platforms.
