Upon logging into the PSN Store after the whole hacking fiasco, I was incredibly disappointed to find out that Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath was not yet available. It was originally scheduled for release toward the end of April, but a certain few individuals had bigger plans for everything and the game ultimately has received a new release date... kind of.
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.
Stop making Oddworlds... Does anyone even play these games any more? They've become the epitome of mediocrity.
But I love Abe.
I disagree, I loved Oddworld back in the day and Strangers Wrath was vastly underrated.
I agree... Strangers Wrath was a great game... and very underrated indeed. I doubt i'll get it again though... too many other games i need first!
I've got a bit stranger in a pickle jar under my bed, hope the police don't figure out it was me..
