This version of the game produced by J.A.W maintains what makes the original a classic while adding several improvements that don't comprimise the creative vision that the original had. For example, the game has added versatility in its difficulty, allowing people who felt frustrated with the original enjoy the game. Controlling Abe feels diferent, it feels better, the controls seem to respond better, but there was no loss of the feeling that I controling a real person, or should I say, a real creature. Somehow they managed to find that perfect balance betwen responsive controls and the feel that i am controlling a real penson.This has always been one of the things I liked most about the original games, the fact that you were controlling a real person, this combined with the extremely peculiar world that Lorne Lanning created passed that first positive first impression that the game provide, thats what called the player's attention. However, the appeal of the game went beyond that, it went far deeper, the game have excellent game mechanics and there's a sensational narrative, with several implied messages that can be reflected by the player, allowing him to take his own conclusions. More important than that is the fact that the gameplay is in total confluence with the story, it is totally different from modern games that compromise the story just because shoot 'em in the head is what sells,it isn't that game that developers create a cgi scene there they want you to care about the character, and when he gives you control of the character he send hordes of enemies for you to shoot , I don't see any person who can sympathize with a murderer. Any violence in oddworld, the creators can get away with it through irony. The gameplay isnt against the narrative, this is one of that special games that the gameplay doesnt work against the narrative, it works in favor of the narrative, making a emotional atachment with the player and the character of the game that few other mediums can achieve, its one of that special games that is very atmosferic.All the improvements help to create a more compealing atmosfere, the game looks more real than ever, the jump to 3D and no flipscreen help the game create a more cinematic feel ( sometimes the camera angles change ) . More important than ever is , despite being an all new game, this remake keeps what made the original apealing, it has its creative vision, it is a remake that remaster the classic to the 21st century. One of the things i absolute love about this game is the pace of it, it provides a nice challenge but at the same time it isnt that much that game that you are in constant battle and must have very fast reflexes, its a game that you can take your time, you have to be patient to be a good player, and the best thing is that because of the great controls i aways feel that i died because of me and not because of the game.… Expand

The world is interesting. Theres not much of a story at all, just him traveling a few places, but theres only a few cutscenes. The game has decent length. The problem is the game is set to a bunch of self contained short little levels that copy 3 different level templates from each area and utilizes the same 3-4 mechanics of pulling levels, possessing, and throwing things. This makes the game feel broken up and repetitive. The two hugest problems really bring the score down. First is the lack of tutorial or game explaining anything. The game mentioned nothing about gamespeak or copying NPCs movements or how to do so, which took about 5 min to figure out looking online. Then there are parts where you can take control of bad guys, which is understood. But they never mention you can command these little dogs, and that you can order them to attack, something required to beat a part. For the game to have all these different and weird components it needs to explain them and not just expect someone to know something new for no reason.

    The worst part of all is the terrible finicky controls. For 2/3 of the jumping and platforming, you need to be in this invisible little trigger boxes to have the desired outcome. If you run and jump your guy just does this tiny this awkward jump forward, unless you are at the perfect spot under a ledge he'll jump up real high to grab it. Same with mines, if you are too close you'll jump way over to other mines, but if you in perfect spot he'll short skip. When jumping with rideable mount over ledges its the same thing. I died so many times because you have to get right under ledges in perfect spot, or by mines, and its all trial and error. A platforming game should not have such weird and horrible controls. Even ordering people around is annoying. You have to stand right on top of them when grabbing multiple people or it will talk to the guy you already got. The ending is dumb and makes no sense, unless you find all these secret levels and let guys loose, and they don't tell you how many you need to get good ending. In the end the lack of direction and some of the, if not the, worst platforming mechanics and controls i have ever seen bring this down.    … Expand

    I want to love this game so badly, but too many flaws. After hours of playing jumping still feels imprecise and I'm never quite 100% sure when to press "x."

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oddworld New n Tasty is fair remake of a PS1 classic. The graphics are crisp, but the control scheme is let down. This issue raises to its peak during the final level where you are faces with a challenge where you require pin point accurate movements, and find inconsistencies are all over the place. The game eventually shows that the control input is probably the biggest challenge of the game, and not the puzzles so much.… Expand

The controls, the level design, the game play mechanics. The game is like a completely new game. Which is a good thing. So if I were to mention what I loved about it, I would say that it has excellent controls, great level design, and is true to the original, yet offers something both fans, and new comers would enjoy. However, it does come with its own flaws. The Easy and Medium modes are WAY too easy (They even added a health bar). Some NPCs don't respond on time or get easily distracted (Happened to me once or twice, so it isn't that big of a deal). But the biggest complaint I have with it is that the atmosphere is completely gone. The game is now less creepy, and more comedic. The silly lines that Mudokens and Sligs mutter during game play are kinda annoying, and pretty loud. You can turn down the volume of voices, but still. I just love almost everything about this game, and would have given it a 9 or a 10, if it weren't for the atmosphere change. It felt less like an Oddworld, and more like a new game... But is that bad? Well... You decide. I am just providing my opinion.… Expand

    gameplay is awesome, for the first time ever in the series we are actually able to adjust the difficulty, the game features lots of improvements over the original game and as well all the memorable environments and levels are all created in the 3D form.
    the level of challenge is pretty much easy on normal difficulties so if u are looking for a true OddWorld experience then go for the hardest one. The number of MudKons are increased from 99 to 299 as well. Overall this game an awesome game and every penny you pay for it is worth it. Please buy and support this game !

The cutscenes are better. Everything about it is better. Also, I never really noticed how violent this game is. I'm not one for games with a message, but this one kind of hit home. You are a mudoken, a slave, working in rupture farms. They got rich selling paramite pies and scrab cakes, but now the paramites and the scrabs are going extinct, and their profits are falling, so now they're going to eat you. You have to escape and save your friends, or let them die and see what happens. The graphics are wonderfully beautiful. Also, I tried getting the original 2 games on my Vita, but with L2 and R2 being mapped to either the nonfunctional rear touch pad or the front screen, the games are basically unplayable, for once I can play these games properly. And I get to play the best version. It's going to take a while to work my way through it because it's a pretty substantial game, but it appears that they have obsessively recreated the original and only made things prettier and better. It does all you can expect from an HD remake. It doesn't ruin the game (Silent Hill 2 HD Fog), it's the exact same game for better or worse. Maybe they could have innovated a bit, but that would just be messing with the source material and people would be angry. I can say with some certainty that this is a good game. I mean I already played it, so it's good, because I remember. How much better this is, is kind of up in the air. I like the graphics and PLEASE RELEASE THE VITA VERSION.... sorry.... sorry.... *tick* That's an unconscious reflex, it cannot be prevented. Well, I appear to have gone insane. It's a decent game, worth checking out, especially if you didn't play the original but *especially* if you've played the original. And look um, I've really been looking forward to this game, I like it, it's great. And if they reach some very modest sales targets, they're going to remake Abe's Exodus. Abe's Exodus was the better game. I want to see that happen. =( {Hey everybody go buy Rogue Legacy}… Expand

    Where are all the damn secrets? Hidden levels? jumping through your own doves?
    It became rapidly clear the short falls of the game. Maybe everyone who is reviewing this doesn't remember the first game. You can throw rocks where ever, Yeah I don't know it lost a lot of the old challenging and frustrating oddworld that made    Great remake but this really is only a fraction of the old game.

    You can throw rocks where ever, Yeah I don't know it lost a lot of the old challenging and frustrating oddworld that made abe such a challenge in the first place. The hardest part of the old game still in this is disarming the mines but that's it. In exodus I got so good I used to be able to disarm them on the short beep, now I can't disarm one to save my life I think there's an issue.
    The strange thing is everyone was so angry at the MGS ground zeroes for being a two hour game at the cost of thirty dollars, this takes 2 hours minimium to finish don't believe me look at the leader boards, the game atm in Aus is thirty dollars.
    Just take into account I was a massive fan of almost the entire series. Don't get me wrong if you in the hankering for some muddokon pops this is the treat for you, because there will only be scrab cakes after that.
    I don't get it.    … Expand

    Posso confermare New 'n' Tasty un acquisto consigliatissimo, a chi ancora non conosce questo franchise e sopratutto a chi ha amato i suoi predecessori. Un remake ben sviluppato anche se non privo di difetti, fedele all'iconico Abe's Oddysee che ha scritto il proprio nome nella storia PlayStation, destinato a diventare un lascito per le generazioni future.

Al lancio, il prezzo di New 'n' Tasty è di €21, per un titolo che vi terrà incollati allo schermo per le 6-7 ore neccessarie a completarlo. In un mondo diabolico e pieno di pericoli, in un orribile stabilimento di lavorazione della carne, riuscirete a salvarvi o sarete il prossimo piatto del menu?… Expand

    I only have a few things to say about this game and it's alright, the original game is way better and that's just in my opinion, they changed a lot of the controls which makes it a little bit harder to make the exact jumps ect. I mean it's kind of cool , it would have been way happier if they brought the original game back to the PlayStation 4 I don't know why they had to make a new andI only have a few things to say about this game and it's alright, the original game is way better and that's just in my opinion, they changed a lot of the controls which makes it a little bit harder to make the exact jumps ect.

    It’s been a long time since any game offered me such an engaging challenge and rewarded with so much satisfaction. [10/2014, p.62]

    Just as delicious as we remember it, but now cut much thicker and slathered with gorgeous graphical garnish. Bon appetit. [October 2014, p74]

    New ‘N’ Tasty is exactly what it claims to be: a new experience still instantly familiar to anyone that played the original, and vital playing for those that didn’t. Oddworld was a defining presence on the Playstation, and New ‘N’ Tasty will remain a defining experience on the new generation of consoles, too. It’s a pleasure to see a remaster done so well.
