"The bounty hunter returns for a second time, he is known as the Stranger, moolah is on his mind.
The original Stranger's Wrath was released on the XBOX in 2005; but the first Oddworld game started back on the Playstation One with Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Just Add Water have took the challenge to bring the Oddworld back to life and into the current generation of console"

Garethvk:
Here is a look at the new HD version of the game played on a PS5. I am not a fan of the camera system which makes viewing in third person harder than it should be but the game looks great otherwise.
I liked the game back when it was released, especially the squirrel-gun of course (were they squirrels? Not sure) and the other weapons, and some fun enemies. A genuinely original game, but I doubt I’ll bother with the remaster. When you look at the textures they really feel low-res and outdated.
Some are really good. This is a remaster and aside from the camera issues, its ok.
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee and Exoddus on PS1/PC are 10/10 phenomenal. Munch’s Oddysee is a 7, Stranger is a 6, New and Tasty is also a 6, and SoulStorm is sadly a 3. I’m a massive Oddworld fan and I have been incredibly disappointed with the series after the original two titles.
Neil writes: "For many the mere mention of an Oddworld game ushers up memories of Abe and Munch, even more so after the recent release of the brilliant Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition. But there's more to this universe and some seventeen years ago Stranger rocked up to deliver his wrath to the OG Xbox. It's fair to say it didn't go down as well as expected. Now though he's back, as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD hits Xbox and PlayStation."
Excellent game. It was a bad decision not to launch on PlayStation initially.
I have it on PC, but highly recommend those with a Playstation or Xbox to give this one a go. Great game.
Ok, good game, i finished it on og Xbox, PSVita and PS3. But... enough, wasn't it better if they made a part 2 or something?
Shame, PS5 and XBSX could have easily ran this at 120fps. Even if they targeted a lower resolution like 1440p or 1800p still would have been worth it.
I can run this thing 1440p 60fps on a rig I have with a now ancient 680 in it. The Series S should be able to do 4k 60, 1440 120 with no issue.
Switch has received a few different entries in the Oddworld series, and it now looks like they’ll soon be bundled together.
That's where it should have stayed from the beginning.
I'm waiting for Abe's Oddysse.
