Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus were my childhood. I think that Soulstorm introduced some interesting new mechanics, but ultimately I feel that Exoddus is superior. The controls in the originals compared to the remakes were much more snappy and precise, whereas the new ones are weirdly float-y and downright frustrating at times.

Despite that, I came to view Soulstorm as a new game rather than a 'remake' of Exoddus, obviously sharing some common elements but ultimately very, very different. While it's not my favorite title in the series, I enjoyed Soulstorm, and I hope Lorne keeps cooking up new Oddworld games.

Also R.I.P Hand of Odd, Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot, Squeek's Oddysee, and Munch's Exoddus. Hopefully one or more of them make a return from the grave.

As a fan of the original three games, and countless mods/overhauls, I enjoy it.

However I would encourage people not to buy it as-is. Just like the originals, it needs a LOT of bug fixing first. Crashes, memory leaks, quick slot items simply not working half the time, broken quests, the whole shebang.

The core of the game itself is fun. This is coming from someone whose favorite BF game was Bad Company 2. It has some of the soul of that game in it, with even larger scale mayhem. It's worth it if you get it on sale for 4 bucks.

However, I DO NOT suggest buying this for full price. This game came out 6 years ago and it is still littered with bugs. The EA launcher is the primary issue, and it's utter crap. Half the time it will "hang" in the background, preventing the game from even launching. To fix this, you need to open task manager (ctrl-alt-del) and end every EA background process, then re-launch from steam.

Rarely when you spawn in at the start of a round, you'll be completely stuck in place, and cannot do anything. The only fix I've found for this is ALT-f4'ing and restarting the game.

Vehicle-mounted machine guns will sometimes glitch out and load a low-res LOD version for the ironsights, removing your crosshair and rapidly flickering the UI.

On some maps there are wall glitches, where I've witnessed people clipping into the geometry and shooting in from outside the map.

*EDIT* EA does not moderate this game whatsoever. Hackers are free to ruin the game without punishment. They can join your match, and force redeploy (kill) all players in the lobby repeatedly until everyone leaves.

Service guarantees citizenship.

It has a few great aspects, like sound design, setting, atmosphere, but unfortunately the actual gameplay is hampered by both design choices and early access jank. Clunky gunplay/character movement for the former, and fatal errors/black screens/poor QoL for the latter.

Update: None of the crashes have been fixed so far. I have had fatal errors, black screens, and occasionally been stuck in an infinite red "sea" filled with satellite debris and explosions instead of spawning inside of my ship. Sometimes it will eat my entire loadout, and sometimes my loadout will remain. It's a 50/50 gamble. Also, I was skeptical of the existence of hackers on this game, but now I'm a believer, too.

tldr; Not recommended unless you already have friends who FOMO'd into it, or if you're a die-hard fan of the setting.

A harrowing experience on the moon of EVROPA.

I experience some sporadic but severe FPS issues, but other than that my experience with Barotrauma has always been a positive one.

I still remember the days when ARS was the only server, and the game had a playerbase of 20ish people total. Good times.

I've probably played thousands of hours over the past decade pre-steam release.

My only gripe is the gutting of Adventure Mode for the initial release, but otherwise it's the same great game we've all had !!FUN!! with over the years.

As of the full release, it's pretty good.

I found a yam platter in the garbage and ate it at my most dire hour.

Would recommend.
