Today’s Indie Corner Daily Dose is a rather large offering so it has been split into three easy-to-read sections. The first section is the standard indie news section which includes a dev blog update from Witch Beam about Assault Android Cactus. Snowcastle Games gives a small update about Earthlock: Festival of Magic, Hugo Smits from Goodbye Galaxy Games reveals the first image from his top-secret Wii U FPS and a trailer is released for the first Oddworld New N Tasty DLC. Finally there are two pieces of news from RCMADIAX, a brand new game announcement, and the reveal that a previously announced game has been delayed.
Starting today, Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until December 19 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
"If you're a 2D puzzle adventure aficionado who doesn't already own Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty on one of the half dozen consoles that it's currently available for then it'll make for a worthy purchase but those who do have it will find little reason to get it again on Switch." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "All Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty! managed to do was frustrate me. However, it did make me appreciate the controls in Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee more. Honestly, if you’re new to the franchise, it might even be better to just skip ahead to Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. At least those gameplay mechanics feel like something more from this era. That being said, if you’re a die hard fan of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee or perhaps just a glutton for punishment, then perhaps try your luck with Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty!."
Well, no it is not. It's a mediocre remake of a classic. The original PS1 game is a 10/10 masterpiece. As a raging nerd on this series, the game is okay at best. I'd give it a 7.5/10 personally.
Why does anyone care about Flappy Bird? It is garbage shovelware of the highest order.
