The twisted world of Oddworld, its Mudokons to rescue and its grating humor that never looked like anything else.

No gut pick here, so let's dig into the detail. And the real surprise is the soundtrack, ahead of nearly nine games out of ten. Right behind, attachment climbs high, you bond with it. Controller feel holds up too, above the middle, but on very few votes so take it as early. Where it stumbles is more down to earth. The desert island question leaves it low, and so does rediscovery, as if you admire it without dreaming of diving back in. Art direction, as singular as it is, comes out surprisingly low. The portrait of a game cherished for its soul and its music, not for the urge to boot it up again.

In the platform-puzzle genre, it's its own thing, closer to a playable satirical tale than a classic platformer of its PS2 era.

So who's it for? You, if you love offbeat worlds, endearing characters and an OST that sticks. Much less if you want instant fun or a game you dream of rediscovering.
