Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee represents a significant turning point for the Oddworld series, marking its transition from meticulously staged 2D cinematic platforming into fully navigable 3D environments. Developed and published by Oddworld Inhabitants, the game continues the franchise’s tradition of blending dark satire, environmental commentary, and offbeat humor, but it does so through a noticeably different gameplay structure. Originally released in 2001 and later updated for modern systems on Steam, this installment carries both the ambition and the growing pains of early 3D design, making it a fascinating, if sometimes uneven, evolution of the Oddworld formula. The narrative introduces a second playable protagonist alongside Abe: Munch, the last surviving Gabbit. While Abe’s people, the Mudokons, have long suffered under corporate exploitation, Munch’s species has been hunted nearly to extinction for their eggs, which are processed and sold as a delicacy known as “gabbiar.” The story once again revolves around corporate greed and industrial cruelty, but this time the stakes feel even more personal. Munch’s journey to reclaim the last of his species’ eggs intertwines with Abe’s ongoing resistance against the Glukkons, forming a dual-hero structure that defines the game’s design. Their partnership provides both mechanical variety and emotional grounding, as the survival of an entire species hinges on the player’s success. Gameplay shifts dramatically from the tightly controlled, screen-by-screen precision of the earlier titles into open 3D spaces that encourage exploration. Players alternate between Abe and Munch, each with unique abilities that must be used in tandem to solve environmental puzzles. Abe retains his signature chanting ability, allowing him to possess enemies and command fellow Mudokons, while Munch brings aquatic mobility and the capacity to interact with specific machines and electrical devices. This dynamic creates a cooperative puzzle structure within a single-player experience, where success depends on switching between characters strategically. The concept is clever, and when it works, it delivers satisfying moments of coordination and problem-solving. However, the move to 3D introduces both opportunity and friction. The environments are more expansive than anything previously seen in the series, featuring industrial complexes, natural waterways, and sprawling facilities filled with hazards. This added scale enhances the sense of place and reinforces the world’s oppressive industrial aesthetic. Yet early 3D camera systems and movement controls can feel less precise compared to the deliberate choreography of the 2D entries. Platforming occasionally loses the razor-sharp clarity that defined Abe’s earlier adventures, and navigation can sometimes feel cumbersome. These issues are not constant, but they are noticeable enough to shape the overall pacing and challenge. The thematic identity of the series remains intact. The game continues its biting critique of consumerism and exploitation, delivered through grotesque corporate villains, exaggerated advertisements, and absurd product branding. The humor is still dark and satirical, balancing bleak subject matter with oddball charm. Munch himself brings a different tone to the narrative; where Abe often embodies quiet resilience and reluctant heroism, Munch’s vulnerability and determination add emotional variety. The dialogue and cutscenes lean more heavily into comedic timing than previous installments, sometimes sacrificing subtlety for accessibility, but they still reinforce the franchise’s distinctive personality. Visually, the game captures the strange beauty of Oddworld through expressive character models and varied landscapes. While it lacks the pre-rendered detail of the earlier 2D titles, the real-time environments create a new sense of immersion. Industrial zones are cluttered with machinery and oppressive architecture, while natural areas offer brief contrasts of color and openness. The updated Steam version improves resolution and performance, smoothing out some technical limitations of the original release. Even so, certain textures and animations reveal the game’s early 2000s origins, reminding players of its place in the transitional era of 3D game development. The difficulty curve is more forgiving than in the earlier Oddworld entries, but it still demands attention and patience. Combat plays a slightly larger role, with vending machines dispensing ammunition that can be used against enemies, adding a layer of light action to the formula. This shift makes the experience somewhat more accessible, though it also softens the tension that came from Abe’s near-total vulnerability in prior games. Escorting Mudokons remains a key objective, preserving the moral dimension of saving as many allies as possible to achieve a better ending. Ultimately, the game stands as an ambitious experiment within the series. It may not possess the laser-focused precision or haunting minimalism of its 2D predecessors, but it compensates with expanded scale, dual-character mechanics, and a broader sense of exploration. For longtime fans, it offers a deeper look into Oddworld’s lore and a chance to see the franchise evolve beyond its original constraints. For newcomers, it provides an accessible entry point into a universe defined by satire, survival, and resistance. While imperfect in execution, it remains a distinctive and memorable chapter that demonstrates both the risks and rewards of creative reinvention. Rating: 8/10

I love this game so much but this is a bad port. It's buggy and performance sucks. I can't bring myself to give it a negative review though.
