Oddworld Abe's Exoddus is the direct and more generous sequel to Oddysee. Longer, richer in content and refined mechanics, with SoulStorm Brew as a key new element. As brilliant as its predecessor with more memorable levels. A PS1 puzzle platformer masterpiece.

"Captivating"
Extending its industrial nightmare, the game enriches its pre-rendered settings with more varied locations and ever more crafted moods. The grime of the factories rubs against an organic strangeness of morbid refinement. This visual direction, dense and atmospheric, further refines the series' inimitable style.

Oddworld - Abe's Exoddus (PS1) price, value & rarity
A direct sequel to Abe's adventure, larger and denser, pushing the GameSpeak system and the series' dark humor further. Still fairly widespread in the West, it owes its interest to the continuity of a visually unique universe rather than scarcity. A piece valued by Oddworld fans, accessible for anyone wanting to extend the Mudokon hero's journey.
Is Oddworld - Abe's Exoddus still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 1998 on PS1, Oddworld Inhabitants' project extends Abe's adventure with remarkable narrative and mechanical ambition. The two dimensional puzzles, the possession power and the GameSpeak communication keep a unique flavour, and the satire of industrial exploitation remains biting. The art direction and the music install a surprisingly modern atmosphere. A few punishing sequences and a clear late nineties look require patience. Recommended today for any fan of authorial puzzle platforming and for Oddworld devotees curious about the studio's most ambitious work on Sony's first home console.
