Oddworld is one of those game franchises that truly stands out with its strange yet captivating style and gameplay. If you haven’t had the chance to dive into this quirky slice of gaming history, now’s a fantastic opportunity. For just a dollar, you can grab the complete set of all eight Oddworld games from Fanatical.
This bundle offers a fascinating lineup, starting with the original puzzle-platformers, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus. It also includes Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, which is a fresh remake of Abe’s Oddysee, complete with updated graphics and improved features for today’s systems. Plus, you’ll get to explore Munch’s Oddysee, the series’ first foray into 3D, and the HD remake of the more action-packed Stranger’s Wrath. To round things off, there’s Soulstorm, the latest chapter in the Oddworld narrative.
Most of the titles in the Oddworld series are puzzle platformers with a twist: you’ll often navigate obstacles by taking control of various creatures that inhabit this bizarre universe. Oddworld’s world is perilously intriguing, where danger lurks everywhere—so much so, that dying is actually part of the experience. While the ways you meet your end in the game are often abrupt and quite brutal, they’re portrayed with a dark humor that doesn’t just entertain but encourages experimentation. This aspect has led to some of the most memorable moments in the franchise.
