ODDWORLD SOULSTORM arrives on the Nintendo Switch and it’s long overdue. Today we take a look at the performance, frame rate, give a story and gameplay breakdown and discuss graphics, both docked and handheld.
As 300 freshly liberated slaves celebrate their escape from the industrial megacomplex of RuptureFarms, a new menace rises. They will soon discover that, although their physical bonds were broken, they are far from free.
Join the revolution as you guide their savior, Abe, on an almost impossible journey to uncover the truth behind the generations of disinformation and misleading news that have brainwashed his people.
Scavenge for items and craft powerful tools, arm your followers and choose to attack the enemy head on or to take a stealthier approach to unlocking each of the four possible endings to this epic tale.
Will Abe find a way to heal his friends and finally win their freedom? What other horrors will they uncover on their deadly journey through dusty canyons, abandoned mines, immense container yards and cavernous train terminals? Is this merely the next step towards liberation or is it really the end of the line? Only you can give them the hope they need to find out.
Action-Adventure Platformer: Evolving the platforming genre by adding RPG-lite elements with player agency to play as they like, whether aggressively or passively.
Narrative: A dark storyline with a twisted sense of humor that shines a light on the ironies that exist in the human condition.
2.9D: Epic environments with massive scale to explore by going into the world, rather than being limited to the traditional side scrolling platformer sense.
Quarma (think Karma): Quarma is a real time feedback feature that reflects your actions in the game and your actions will influence the outcome of the game.
Scavenger’s Economy: Pickpocket enemies, loot lockers, sift through trash cans to acquire resources. Exchange them at vending machines to get products that give you more agency in how you chose to conquer the game’s many challenges.
Crafting: Use scavenged resources and vending machine products to craft items to use as weapons or tools against characters and obstacles.
Strength in Numbers: The more followers you save, the stronger the uprising becomes. Gift crafted items to followers. It’s up to you to decide whether they will be aggressive or passive.
Gameplay: A 2.9D action adventure platformer. First time playthrough is 15 hours. Achievement hunters and perfectionists can easily play for dozens of hours.
Leaderboards: All levels offer a tallying system, leaderboards, achievements and badges.

Thank you for the review. Looks like I'll be passing on this one, or at least waiting for a good sale.
👆 – NЕW А DАТING FОR АLL ТАSТЕS & АGЕS 🥰❤u💋
Thumbs up for tge music playing
Okay. Easy pass. Thanks for the heads up.
Verdict: Right to the sales bin.
Now I don't feel bad not getting this on PS+.
I love Abe but the older games can be clunky and expect more when it comes to controls on modern hardware. The game looks delightful on the switch but I feel it's more nostalgia than credit for the new game which tempts me. Thanks for the review Alex.
If you like Oddworld you'll like this. The creating definitely wasn't needed but I love it. The trial and error aspect is a sign of the rings of when it was made. New n Tasty and this existing after so long of silence make me very happy. Hope they're working on a brand new adventure.
Could it be finally a nice port game at release
I've never been a fan of the games but I love the lore and story behind them. It's just I hate the game play do much.
very solid review work as always. this doesn't appeal to me at all, wish they changed up the gameplay at least somewhat
Appreciate the review, very informative and helps make a decision on this one
Never played an Odd world game. Looks very artistic.
Back to back 17 minute commercials mid-video.🤦 I don't know what they were selling, but I don't want it.
if only peter jackson would make an oddworld trilogy
Thanks for the review 😊 was tempted but now I’ll wait for a sale
New and tasty was great, although fairly difficult, at least for me but, I will 100% be getting soulstorm. Looks great!
I could never get into the OddWorld games. This is a pass from me.
I'm so glad this got ported. It didn't sell as well as the devs thought it would, but on switch it might just get a bit more love.
