I have enjoyed and loved the Oddworld series since the late 90's when I first got to run Abe thru the meat grinder. Now, nearly 20 years later I get to grind up Abe once more thru some messed up death scenarios.
I've completed Oddworld on the PS1, the PSP and since my computer could not run the game from steam, I had to buy and play it on my Xbox One. I don't doubt that the version are pretty much the same, I wish I could have used a PSX controller. No matter, I still love the Oddworld universe and can't wait for more products to come out of the Just Add Water studios.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was the first game I have ever played. It introduced me to the world of videogames with a great ♥♥♥♥♥-slap.
Now, how does New 'n' Tasty stuck up? Let's see:

The game itself is a carbon copy of Abe's Oddysee, but with various improvements:
- The presentation is gorgeous: the levels open up and feel more like a coesive HUGE world. While Rapture Farms do loose some of its dark and gritty feeling, the rest of the world is really enhanced. The light, the colors, the level of detail of the backgrounds... It all gives us a very pretty game to look at.

- The gameplay is very similar to his source, but the controls have been slightly changed. I don't know if it was for the best, luckily you can switch back to the original settings, but it's going to require a little bit of tweaks.
The remake tries to improve on the terrible control response of the original, but I said "tries" because it all could have used a little more work.

- The sounds have also been changed from the original, which is a shame, for me at least, I prefer how Scrab and Paramites sounded before, they were a lot more memorable.
The soundtrack has been tweaked too but they're pretty much the same songs, with the same feeling.

Talking is an important gameplay feature in the game. The new voices are fine, and there's a lot more variety in how you can say a determined thing. This gives the characters a lot more personality and for me it's a really great improvement. I just LOVE how the Sligs sound now ("WHAT' UP, FOLKS!" "HERE, PIGGY PIGGY! <3" "AAAAH SUCKER!")

Now, a good remake should be able to bring an old game to a new audience, without alienating the old fans, and for me, New 'n' Tasty does exactly that:
For the fans, there's everything they loved about Abe's Oddysee, with the right improvements where it more needed it. The new art direction sacrificed the dark mode, but it enhanced the light spirit. Whatever you like it or not it's subjective.

But can New 'n' Tasty bring new fans in? That is hard to say: the market is a lot bigger now and a random guy who takes a look at this game could think this is just another 2d-ish indie platform. But it isn't. This is the remake of a classic, a classic that everyone should play, but if you're turned off by the old graphics and controls, you can allways point your sight at Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.

I saw Oddworld : Abe's Oddysee when I was just mindlessly roaming the internet, and I immediately loved the game. I downloaded an emulator and started playing it, and it was fun, but really challenging! I then saw a remake for the game had just been on sale. I WANTED IT BADLY.

Anyways, here's my review.

Gameplay wise, it plays alot more smoother than the original Abe's Oddysee, speaking that New N' Tasty now uses models and such. But at times, it could really be tricky to tell where something will effect Abe or not, due to the fact that it scrolls across the level instead of the classing screen shifting. I don't mind this, and it does bring more action to the fast paced levels.
Here's the most important things that you'll need to play New N' Tasty.
A good computer, and a freakin' brain.
This game requires some real thinking. It's really easy to get stuck on something for a while.
This is basically a graphic enhancement of Abe's Oddysee, right? No, it's not.
The levels differ from the original alot, and this time it's much more easier. I like this change, because playing the original seemed a bit too challenging for me. ( I'M NOT VERY SMART. :P )
The only problem are the glitches. But I have no huge problem with them. The ragdoll physics aren't top notch, as Abe can look like he buried himself into the ground, or have a major spazz-out. And at times the ragdolls can break the realistic flow of the game. But that's just me.
But anyways, this game is really worth the buy. Just make sure your computer is strong enough to handle it.

The old classic, remastered PROPERLY. Well worth it!

Great Remake.

This game has done a huge favour to honour its predecessor, it has beautiful streamline controls that compliment its fast paced gameplay and stunning graphics that sharply define the odd world of oddworld. If you liked Oddworld Abe's Oddysee, you will love this game. Also stay tuned for the remake for Oddworld Abe's Exoddus: Oddworld Soulstorm comming 2017.

Nice remake! Glad to see good old Abe refreshed and in 3D

A really great game. Fans from the original will enjoy this remake. Can't wait for Soulstorm!

very cool

A true remake done right. If you haven't managed to finish the original, this game makes the experience a lot more enjoyable.
