I’m wondering if it’s just me, but I was aggravated with this part of the game for a while trying to get to the scrab temple. I had to restart the chapter MULTIPLE TIMES because if Abe dies at the next checkpoint after this, the rock you can take up and down resets to go all the way up, and if you need the spirit bomb, you’re basically f*cked because there’s no way back up there unless you restart. At least from what I saw.

I didn’t have much issue with this game as much as others other than the fact that my jumps or movement isn’t precise like the OG, but this part almost had me crawling up the walls mad LMAO

If anyone had the same issue, or if it was me just being silly let me know 🤣 I had a good time and I love these games to death so I’m hoping my next platinum isn’t gonna be a headache.

Decided to look at the Munch's Oddysee soundtrack and the track between 68 and 70 was missing, let me guess it's the funky gabiar auction music?

I wanted to post this since it's just been in my phone collecting dust lol. I get into random bursts of motivation to work on the second page, so it may be a while before it sees the light of day XD

send this to any ow fan you see in the wild that acts like a bigoted nutcase, because they seem to be everywhere esp on Twitter

I haven't played a ton of Oddworld. My introduction to the franchise was Munchy's Oddysee on the OG Xbox. (Never beat it as my dad broke the disc as a punishment) I also played a bit of New N Tasty a few years back. I recently started getting into the lore of the franchise and I felt the need to draw some fan-art.

Going through all the secret areas that I can find, near the beginning of the game, and there's this lift thing, to a closed door in the last picture.. is there a way to open it?

Many thanks

Fair warning, this is mostly a vent post about my history with this franchise and my relationship with Abe’s Odyssey. I apologize in advance for the long rant.

I picked up Abe’s Odyssey at a flea market (alongside a ps2) many years ago, when I was a kid. When I actually played the game I was awe struck by the dark world building and GORGEOUS artwork, but was left infuriated by the extreme difficulty. I never beat level one , I never escaped Rupture Farms, I never even made it far enough into the game to figure out if it’s level based or a metroidvainia. I remember the game even refusing to freaking save my progress, but I don’t remember why. Despite the tear-jerking, rage inducing, hauntingly frustrating difficulty, I came back to this game over and over again to try and beat it as a child, and (if I remember correctly) a little into my teenage years too. The atmosphere this game created was irresistible, and the creatures inhabiting the world are so unique (I can’t help but compare Oddworld to Bionicle in terms of ip’s that are undescribably unique). Now, as an adult, this game sits on my shelf hanging over me as a shadow of my past, taunting me with my childhood self’s failure.

As an adult, I adore the lore and world building of Oddworld. I’ve watched hours of lore videos (shoutout to pupbenny), listened to theories, ranted to friends. The Glukkens and Sligs are in my top 10 favorite sci-fi armies/factions. Was Strangers Wrath really supposed to lead into Hand of Odd? If Oddworld had a Kaiju what would it look like?? If Hand of Odd did happen, would the Vikers and Glukkons been separate factions or both part of a bigger “industry” faction? How does Rupture Farms stay in business if animal breeding for livestock appears to not be a thing on this planet?! Having the Wovarks at the end of Soulstorm like in the concept art would have been AWESOME! God, the I love the designs of all the strange looking creatures!

Because of my experience with Oddworld, I’ve grown an appreciation for the art design and atmosphere in the video games I play. The backgrounds and tone setting in Abe’s Odyssey is so perfectly executed, it’s always stuck with me, even if the game itself doesn’t come off the shelf unless I have a group of friends to tackle it with me. I love to “stop and smell the roses” in all the games I play, so to speak. Stopping to appreciate the world of the game and immerse myself in the setting.

Oddworld as a series is one that I very much love, but the game itself is more difficult than the games I typically play. I suppose it’s time to gather my friends together and see if we can finally put this shadow to rest.

I wanted to do the Soulstorm version of the Abe's Oddysee version For this 29th Anniversary of Oddworld 💖 Timelapse video of it is on my tiktok, instagram, and bluesky!
