    In Oddworld: Soulstorm, you pick-up where New 'N' Tasty left off. Abe has undergone an unwanted transformation from being a clueless Mudokon cog, literally about to be chewed up by the Glukkons' big business machine, into an unlikely hero, a beacon of hope.
    Abe was someone who went about his life, blind to what was happening around him, and then woke to a deeper uncomfortable reality and had no choice but to make a change. Abe may not have wanted to be a hero, but there was, and remains, some greatness in Abe. A greater purpose. A greater good. All of which got him into enormous amounts of trouble and continues to do so.
    Revolutions start small and build from unexpected places. You and Abe are the beginning. In Oddworld: Soulstorm, you will begin to understand the power of many will be needed to solve problems that the individual alone cannot.
    Based on the concept of Scavenger's Economy, you will loot from trash cans, pickpocket, and search through lockers for items to craft into weapons and tools to use to help save your fellow Mudokons while you try to unlock the dark secrets behind Brew.

    Whether you prefer the classic Abe playstyle of sneaking and problem solving or using scavenge for what you need to create an arsenal that you can hand off to your followers that you have saved along the way, Oddworld: Soulstorm gives you more choices to replay with different approaches.
    Add in light RPG elements, leader boards, trophies for completionists, and a progression system and Soulstorm sets a new standard for next-generation action adventure platformers.

    There are parts of Exoddus that I wish had been carried over into Soulstorm. I would have loved to possess the Glukkons and make them hop around on their small-legged, no-armed bodies before unceremoniously making them explode. That’s what’s so great and, ironically, damning about Soulstorm: it is just different enough that I have no qualms about going back and playing Exoddus without feeling like I’m retreading my steps. Which is exactly what I’m going to do the second I finish this review.

    I gave this game a 9/10 before, and this update is much of the same.

Still amazing in its world building, world design, platforming, NPC interaction, setpieces and story. Still mediocre in its soundtrack, but at least there are less bugs now. I'd still recommend it at any price. Expand

    Oddworld Soulstorm is also a fun game with a good story and an absolutely solid level of challenge. It is visually impressive at times, butOddworld Soulstorm is also a fun game with a good story and an absolutely solid level of challenge. It is visually impressive at times, but technically it is still problematic half a year after launch.
