![]() ![]() No matter what you do, you'll then suck them up like you're some sort of Ghostbuster in order to receive your reward when you get back to town. Let me tell you there's nothing more satisfying than luring enemies out from a pack one by one only to beat on them until they're knocked out then suck 'em up. Climbing ropes is a lot trickier with snipers around Thankfully, the campaign is lengthy and you'll carry out a memorable array of missions throughout which usually end in a challenging boss fight with some sort of goofy outlaw. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD looks decent on Switch in that it's easy to play and it performs quite well in handheld mode. However, the visuals generally haven't aged well. To be clear, the HD remaster released back in 2011 and this Switch version is basically a port of it. ![]() It was quite off-putting to take in stretched-out textures, muddy environments, and clearly polygonal models as I was hoping this Switch release would have been yet another step up graphically but it isn't. On the plus side, the game world is indeed an odd one to such an extent that it's endearing how much attention to detail the developers originally poured into it. For example, the character animations are lively and you'll witness folks doing some truly weird things which come to life even more with the silly voice cast.įinally, allow me to discuss some of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD's downsides. For starters, the controls work well but they are stiff and very reminiscent of mid-'00s platformers. Last but certainly not least, many of the missions feel too similar to each other.Īs a result, they take some getting used to but once you do, you'll find yourself platforming, sneaking, and shooting with minimal effort.

That being said, this formula makes unique scenarios shine even more. How's the Stranger going to get out of this one? Overall, it certainly never becomes boring but at the same time, it's hard not to want even more stand-out moments. ![]() If this will be your first time playing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath then you'll definitely have a fantastic time with its original gameplay formula and quirky Western world.
