"Captivating"
Grimy factories, unsettling lighting and organic creatures: the world of Rupture Farms is steeped in an oppressive, singular atmosphere. The pre-rendered settings, teeming with detail, bring a fascinating dystopian world to life. This visual identity, dark and polished, has no equivalent on the console.
The real sonic instrument is Abe's voice. GameSpeak turns speech into a command: at a press, Abe lets out a hello, a follow-me, a whistle or a fart, and the Mudokons answer in echo, forming a rhythmic dialogue that serves as much to play as to hear. Around this functional chant, the industrial ambiance hums with machines and steam, but it is this vocal language that sets the tempo of each rescue.
The story turns pity into arithmetic. Abe learns that his Mudokon caste, after the game animals went extinct, is to be canned in turn, and flees the factory to save as many as he can. But the game counts: of ninety-nine slaves, each one left behind weighs on the final scale and decides Abe's fate as well as theirs. The ecological fable becomes moral calculus, where empathy is measured by the number of lives torn from the line.

A modern remake of the Oddworld classic, reviving the PlayStation-era platform adventure with a new engine and an intact tone. Released mostly as a download, its North American physical disc version is less common and hunted by fans of tangible pressings. Its desirability lies in this physical copy of a cult revival rather than wide distribution.
Is Oddworld - Abe's Oddysee - New 'n' Tasty! still worth playing in 2026?
New 'n' Tasty is a full remake of the classic Abe's Oddysee, superbly modernising the cult PSone puzzle-platformer while scrupulously respecting its spirit. Abe, a humble Mudokon off to free his fellows from the Rupture Farms factories, moves through entirely remade settings, sumptuous and organic. The gameplay, built on stealth, controlling enemies by speech and sometimes twisted puzzles, keeps its original demand and its biting satire of capitalism. Its occasional difficulty calls for patience. But for the fan of puzzle-platforming or the Oddworld universe, this brilliant remake is a treat.
