Evaluation

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty launched on February 25, 2015 as a ground-up remake of the classic Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Post-launch, the developer released several patches addressing bugs, controller support, and graphical options, along with a small set of DLC: a bonus level (Alf's Escape), a cosmetic skin (Scrub Abe), both released at launch, two soundtrack DLCs in November 2015, and a lower-resolution movie pack in February 2016. All five DLC items are released with no unreleased entries remaining. The last substantive update to the game was Patch 1.06 on February 10, 2016, which added Xbox One wireless controller support, shadow slider fixes, and the lower-resolution cut-scene option. There have been no further patches, DLC, or content announcements for New 'n' Tasty since that date. On March 18, 2016, the developer announced their next project — Oddworld: Soulstorm — signaling that the studio's focus had moved on from New 'n' Tasty. No content or updates for New 'n' Tasty have been communicated since then. The game launched as a complete remake, received its post-launch support cycle, and that support concluded in early 2016. The game is complete.

About this game

Back To Oddworld


Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy guards as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly recrafted, built from the ground-up and totally recooked take on the classic adventure Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee.

Once a happy floor waxer in Oddworld's biggest meat processing plant, Abe stumbles across his boss's secret plan to turn the factory's slave labor force into the latest in the RuptureFarms Tasty Treats line of novelty meat snacks. Abe now has to save his own skin from the grinders, but simply escaping the flesh farm is only the start of his Oddysee - for many dangers await Abe on his journey to discover his destiny.

Built from scratch from the ground up, enjoy new breathtaking visuals, enhanced audio and improved, deeper gameplay as New 'n' Tasty reignites the original Oddworld game using the latest next-generation technology.

Amazing new graphics


With art direction from series creator Lorne Lanning, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty offers a view into Oddworld with fidelity never seen before. Fluid animation, new free-moving cameras and high resolution (up to 4K) visuals make RuptureFarms and the surrounding areas look incredible, creating the Oddworld that Lanning always wanted to see.

Revamped controls


Analog controls offer more subtle control over Abe, and new tricks like free aiming, the ability to drop grenades behind you and also sneak whilst crouching open up new avenues for stealthy tactics and inventive speed-running. Optional 'Old School' controls bring back hopping and digital movement too, so the Oddysee purists can get started with some familiarity.

Brand new areas, brand new secrets


From the murky grime of RuptureFarms to the expansive native lands of the Monsaic Lines, through to the vast temples of Scrabania and Paramonia, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty boasts new areas, subtle gameplay changes and a few surprises. Fans will recognise the huge meat grinders, Scrab holding pens and cavernous caves, but there's more than enough that's new here to keep you on your toes.
