TouchArcade: The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn't necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the highest scoring game in a review, the game with the best graphics, or really any other quantifiable "best" thing. Instead, it's more just us picking out the single game out of the week's releases that we think is the most noteworthy, surprising, interesting, or really any other hard to describe quality that makes it worth having if you were just going to pick up one.
Despite being a 20-year-old game, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath still deserves to get a sequel for its unique gameplay and narrative appeal.
Exoddus deserves a sequel before this, although I wouldn't complain at a SW2. Abe's story is still yet to be completed - a shame Soulstorm left much to be desired compared to the classic originals.
I was playing the original on my PC about a week ago. Man, the dialog in this game is so hilarious and definitely wouldn't fly today. People have completely lost the ability to see humor in anything. This game was such a gem.
17 years after its initial release, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has returned -- and has never been better than this.
If you missed the news, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is out now on the Switch via the Nintendo eShop. But there’s a physical edition that is now available for pre-order at Amazon.
