    Sly-looking puzzle platformer that has lot to say even eighteen years after the first release. If you didn't know the original, you wouldn’t recognize this one is a remake. [Issue#251]

    Oddworld New'n'Tasty is the best remake of a game I have played so far, a true testament to the love and respect the devs of Just Add Water have for the original Abe's Oddysee. Even old Oddworld fans will find themselves amazed by the stunning visuals and the general redesign the title offers. A must-buy.

    This is how you do a remake. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is as much a piece of art as it is a just a thoroughly fantastic puzzle platformer. [March 2015]

    Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is an excellent puzzle platform game that managed to revive the legacy of its predecessor. It's fun from the old school, that is not troubled to work with mechanics and level design that are almost twenty years old. And that you explore during one hour twenty times or you blast to pieces? That is yours and Abe's destiny.

    Oddworld Abe's Oddysee was one of the best platform games ever. Abe's remake is worthy of praise. If you like platform games, you will be pleased with Oddworld New 'n' Tasty.

    It’s a great reason to (re)visit Abe and his odd world, especially if you haven’t played the original game.

    Even if you have played through the original already, the enhanced visuals and polished gameplay are reasons enough to take the "oddysee" back.

    A loving interpretation that captures the spirit and charm of days gone perfectly.

    Taken altogether, New 'n' Tasty still makes the Oddworld experience totally worth it.

    Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is great remake in terms of quality, remastering the original experience in a fantastic way. The original story still holds up, and while the gameplay may be a bit too hard for some newcomers, it's still rewarding, despite a few not-so-great aspects, like the sound effects.

    Still, for those who take the time to persevere, New ‘n’ Tasty proves to be as delectable a treat as Abe’s original Odyssey all those years ago.

    A few niggling control issues and glitches aside, it is highly recommended to check out Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty before Soulstorm arrives this year. There is a lot to love about Abe's tough adventure, with stealth, puzzles, and plenty of other mechanics all at play in determining whether he saves his 299 Mudokon buddies or not. A one-of-a-kind side-scroller that still stands the test of time.

The puzzles are not very hard to be solved and with the changeable difficulty the game becomes easy in actions. I'm glad they kept a difficulty original to the Abe's Oddysee, something for those who are familiar with the game. Compared to the original game I have to say the movement was better in the old one because it was faster and instant, but not as realistic as in the new one. The quick-save option kinda ruins the point of the checkpoints, but it can also make the game easier for those who aren't looking for too much challenge. There were some bugs here and there, but it's hard to find them and not very game-changing.… Full Review »

I remember getting Abe's Odyssey for the PS1 and just falling in love with everything about this game. The environment, the characters, the storyline, the struggles. Everything is executed to such perfection. Being able to relive those memories on the new systems with updated graphics is a dream come true. Reboot status: epic.… Full Review »
