Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is a platform video game developed by Oddworld Inhabitants and published by GT Interactive. Although the game is a sequel to the video game Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, it is considered a spin-off title in the Oddworld series, and not part of the Oddworld Quintology. It was released in November 1998 for the PlayStation video game console and in December 1998 for Microsoft Windows. A Game Boy Color version, titled Oddworld Adventures 2, was released in 2000. The PlayStation version was re-released on the PlayStation Network in October 2009.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is an awesome game! I played it on Playstation and obviously used a controller. On my game page it says that this game doesn't have controller support and was designed NOT to use a controller. WTF This is a terrible port! Not recommended
[h2]Verdict[/h2] ✅ Recommended A classic Oddworld game and another strong nostalgic memory from my childhood. [h2]My history with the game[/h2] I tried Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus on Steam for 12 minutes. Just like Abe's Oddysee, I also played this game as a child. I had the original CD version and spent a lot of hours with it back then. This Steam revisit was short, but the game still works as a strong nostalgic reminder of that time. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ✅ Worth it for classic game fans 🖥️ Requirements: ✅ Runs on almost anything 🎨 Graphics: ✅ Old and pixelated, but iconic ⏱️ Length: ✅ Classic story-based game 📖 Story: ✅ Memorable Oddworld style 🎮 Difficulty: ✅ Old-school challenge 🐛 Bugs: ➖ No major issue in my short revisit [h2]What I liked[/h2] * It still has the classic Oddworld atmosphere. * Abe is still a great and memorable character. * The world, sounds, humor, and darker tone have a very unique identity. * It brings back strong childhood memories for me. * I am glad this original version is still available for players who want to return to it. * For fans of older puzzle platformers, it still has historical value. [h2]What didn’t work for me[/h2] * The original visuals are obviously very old now. * Newer players may find the pixelated look harder to enjoy. * Since Soulstorm exists as a newer version, I personally prefer to play that instead. * I do not really feel the need to fully replay the original today. [h2]Is it an endless game? How long to beat?[/h2] No, this is not an endless game. It is a classic story-based puzzle platformer. The full playthrough length depends on your skill, patience, and how much extra saving and exploration you want to do. [h2]Who will love it[/h2] You will probably enjoy Abe's Exoddus if you like old-school puzzle platformers, classic PC games, darker atmosphere, strange worlds, and the original Oddworld style. Veterans who played it back in the day will probably appreciate it the most. [h2]Replay value[/h2] Replay value is decent, especially for nostalgia or for players who want to experience the original version again. For me personally, I am glad I can return to this classic, but I will probably play Soulstorm instead because of the improved graphics. [h2]Final note[/h2] Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is another important childhood game for me. I may not fully replay this original version today, but I still respect it and I am glad it is available on Steam. Recommended, especially for nostalgic players and fans of older classics.
Twice the Flavor Compared to Soulstorm. Just buy it, it's cheap, fun, and impactful.
