A twisted world, creatures with a language of their own, and a solid dose of grim humor.

When the community picks on gut feeling, with no criterion, Munch's Oddysee lands right in the middle. No rejection, no crush. But the detail is far more contrasted. Attachment climbs ahead of 87% of games, on few votes so treat it as unconfirmed, while fun collapses to the bottom, ahead of just 2% of titles. Desert island follows the same slope, ahead of 7% of games. That is the tension: you remember the characters, you do not necessarily replay it. The rest sits mid-table, art style in the soft middle, gameplay and soundtrack slightly above, on very few duels.

Against the puzzle-platformers of its era, Oddworld always bet on world-building over feel. This entry's jump to 3D divided people at the time, and the profile here says roughly that: a strong identity, a game that does not quite land in the hands.

So, who is it for? For you if you love strange worlds you never forget, the Mudokons, the black comedy, possessing enemies as a puzzle mechanic. Much less so if you want the game that glues you to the pad until 3am.
