  • 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

    SoulStorm is an decent ish enough game. But it has serious problems and bizarre decisions. I like the direction the story, there is noticeablySoulStorm is an decent ish enough game. But it has serious problems and bizarre decisions. I like the direction the story, there is noticeably a lack of humor in this game. Especially in cutscenes. In game does have a fair amount of it. But the problem is that the game doesn't add anything to replace the humor. This makes the game feel a bit dull at points. The gameplay itself is a good expansion of New and Tasty. But there are so many minor issues, bugs, and bizarre design choices that it makes the game feel down right incompetent at points. Like there are sick Mudokons that you need to cure before rescuing them. But you gather the material need to craft an antidote. But once you do, you have unlimited use of the antidote for the rest of the game. Which, outside of story purposes, makes me wonder why they even bothered. This game is technically a reimagining of Abe's Exodus. But outside of the general plot with the brew and some locations being in the game, it is so different that it's not even worth calling it that. They also got rid of quick saves for New and Tasty. Which is kind of weird considering that the original PS1 game had them. It's not that big of a deal since checkpoints are like 2 feet apart. But there are times where it would have been nice. The game also performs poorly on Xbox Series S. The game stutters every time you hit a checkpoint. And sometimes the game will crash. Although I would say that this game is enjoyable despite all of this. But it does make me think that Oddworld Inhabitants should seriously reconsidering rethinking their strategy. Because I can see a potential disaster for the third game at this rate.… Expand
