  • Summary: 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    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.    … Expand

    Oddworld has never looked this good, but Soulstorm has certain shortcomings causing it to deliver a watered down experience, a sensation highlighted by the length of the campaign.

    This game is a phenomenal masterpiece. Ever since it’s announcement I have eagerly awaited and watched the development closely. The art styleThis game is a phenomenal masterpiece. Ever since it’s announcement I have eagerly awaited and watched the development closely. The art style is beautifully detailed, the gameplay is a kind throwback to its original tale (Oddworld: Abe’s Exodus) that has been expanded on to bring it into a new era of gaming. The story has maturely developed from its root, adding a new depth and element of mystery to where the future will take the series. Despite a few minor bugs on launch, patches were extremely swiftly provided to improve quality of life making this game a total 10/10. Not seeing this game through to the end would be a big mistake on any gamers part. The new gameplay elements, crafting of equipment and fluid movement only emphasises the great growth of this title, and the potential of future sequels. Thank you to the developers at Oddworld Inhabitants for this amazing experience.… Expand

    It’s come a long way since Abe was first introduced on the PlayStation in 1997 in Oddworld: Abes Oddysee. The subsequent sequels were met withIt’s come a long way since Abe was first introduced on the PlayStation in 1997 in Oddworld: Abes Oddysee. The subsequent sequels were met with mixed reviews and seemed to change course from the original story.
    But since Abes beginning was retold in New n Tasty back in 2014, a truly original sequel has finally come upon us with Oddworld: Soulstorm. This is a spectacularly beautiful game. Stunning visuals and a gripping story that makes you want to know what’s going to happen next. The early cut scenes foreshadow events to come towards the end of the quintoligy, and you know this adventure has only just begun. The replay value is going to be something I’m going to be enjoying for a good few years, and should be in time for the next chapter in the battle to save Oddworld.    … Expand

    Lemme be honest with this as someone who has played the original games growing up.
    The only edge Soulstorm has over Exoddus, is the graphics.    Lemme be honest with this as someone who has played the original games growing up.
    The only edge Soulstorm has over Exoddus, is the graphics. Thats it.
    All the Glukkons(Dripik, Aslik and Phleg) were replaced by basic "villain" ones that lack personality and design.
    Exoddus didnt just have fun mechanics and level design, the atmospheres were rich, beautiful but also had a scary feeling to it. Beautiful backgrounds and amazing audio design. Sure the controls are outdated by todays standards, but Soulstorms controls also dont work at times when they should.
    The fact that Sligs are the only possessable enemies is a joke, the fun Glukkon puzzles where you command sligs and need to get out of dangerous situations are gone. The scrab puzzles where they fight each other are gone, the paramite puzzles where they work in groups are gone, Fleeches are gone, ENTIRE levels like Bonewerkz are gone too.
    Im the end Soulstorm might look fancier, but despite its name lacks the soul and care that the original had.
    It went from a fun trip with explosive possessible farts to a 8 hour experience of same-ish levels and Sligs that feel nothing but repetetive.
    Seriously disappointed. Oddworld is dead.

    Also crafting and double jumping were a mistake    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Putting the game mechanics and bugs to one side for this review. For me the huge disappointment was the game itself. When I first played abes exodus as a young lad I was amazed with just how much better it was in my opinion to abes odyssey. I was expecting the same from going from new n tasty to soulstorm but how disappointed I was.
    No Paramites No Scrabs
    No Glukons No Vykers The only enemy in game is fleeches slogs and sligs and the only enemy you can possess is sligs.
    The game was just so repetitive and so boring! Now I know this game is not a remake of abes exodus but on a comparison to a very similar story I wasn’t just expecting the things above. I was expecting more. £44.99..... what a waste    … Expand
