    One of the best 2d game i've ever played and also the best new generation game yet
    It's a pleasure to find an old style of gameplay with so many new features.

    Beautiful cutscenes, perfect mix between puzzle, infiltration and platform, a very good revisited story, and the views and atmosphere are sumptuous.

    I love this game.

    Скучная и странная игра, с унылым геймплеем, странным сеттингом.
    Мир серый, локации похожи на кашу из коричневых оттенков понятно чего, графика откровенно говоря плохая, управление дубовое, куча багов, перевод на русский язык осуществлён будто промтом, лютая халтура.    Скучная и странная игра, с унылым геймплеем, странным сеттингом.

    Im just here to balance the 0 score. This is a free game on psn yet people still complain. Kinda had enough of it. Really. Every single game attracts spoiled sourpusses. It’s getting ridiculous

    Amazing graphics and worth improvements in its classic gameplay mechanics. Soulstorm really is an evolution on it's predecessors and a love letter as well. Loved it.

    Terrible.
    The AI is awful.
    Graphics from 2005.
    The control is really bad, everytime you die feels like its the game fault.
    Filled with bugs.

    + The game is free (Available by subscription ps plus)
    + The setting is very good for a platformer
    + Good story - The gameplay is boring (throwing bottles and digging in the garbage for the first hour is it adequate?) - There are braking The picture is generally normal Outcome: 5/10. If you have nothing to do, in principle, you can get stuck, but the gameplay is pretty monotonous.    + The game is free (Available by subscription ps plus)

    + Игра бесплатна (Доступна по подписке пс плюс)
    + Постановка очень хорошая для платформера
    + История неплохая
    - Геймплей скучный (кидать бутылки и копаться в мусоре первый час это адекватно?)
    - Есть подтормаживания
    Картинка в целом нормальная

    Итог: 5/10. Если делать нечего в принципе залипнуть можно, однако геймплей довольно монотонный.    … Expand

    Desfasado gráficamente y un diseño de niveles que me dejó deseando más, tenía las expectativas muy altas, mi error.

    Once you get past the beginning levels which are a bit lackluster it opens up into a really enjoyable Oddworld adventure. Great to see this game return to form after a couple of disappointing entries.

    This game has exceeded my expectations by far. The 3D audio is truly amazing, the haptic feedback is on point, and the overall gameplay is just extremely fun and entertaining. Give it a go you won't regret it

    - 2010 graphics (what year is now?)
    - annoying mechanics (based on first 3 levels i played)
    - huge frame drops (playing on PS5)
    - no music in background just weird noises?
    - bugs/glitches everywhere you go
    - one big disappointment

    This is a triumphant return to Oddworld. Soulstorm does fantastic things with Abe's story and shows some real advances with the developer's designs. Utterly excellent look, and a world that oozes with consumerist evils make this the definitive new Oddworld experience. There are absolutely no obstacles to heartily recommending this game to all players new and old. Can't wait to see what comes next!

    Soulstorm is old school and it’s for you to decide whether that’s a flaw or not. You can definitely feel the spirit of the old Oddworlds, but for me the devs were to conservative. I would really welcome a touch of madness, some variety to spice thing up. However, if a solid, challenging retro platformer is what you’re looking for – go for it, you’ll be pleased. [06/2021, p.50]

    While that means Soulstorm works - accidentally or otherwise - as a metaphor for the struggle of the working classes, all that toil rarely makes for a particularly engaging game. [Issue#359, p.112]
