    Fun, frustrating and funny in equal measure, Oddworld: New and Tasty will give you 6-8 hours of solid gaming, even more if you’re committed to saving all 299 of your enslaved brethren, and the level design and puzzles hold up quite well to today’s standards.

    Short bite-sized chunk of Zombie killing!
    • tbd Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Overall, I think it’s a game worth checking out. It has its glitches and some plot-holes (such as needing zero motivation to kill innocent people with monsters and zombies), but if strategy games are your thing, it’s a welcome challenge. Try and get over the drawn-out nature of the game, or just give the multiplayer a shot – I think, if you’re up to something that will require you to use your (undead) brain, you’ll truly enjoy it.

    A show as delightfully zany as Adventure Time deserves much better that this bland and uninspired pastiche of top-down dungeon crawler mechanics and the brief flashes of irreverent humour and charm that appear throughout can’t save this rushed and dull waste of a license.
