Hi guys,

I hope no-one minds me starting this but I figured we should get things started! Hopefully the article should be on the site soon, someone (read: me) was late getting it written up!

Who else will be joining in this month?

this game has never looked all that appealing to me. Thankfully it's only $3 on Steam, so I don't mind taking a crack at it.

It's worth a punt. The game world looks so cool and interesting to me, but the gameplay is something I think I might struggle with as it draws a lot from cinematic platformers like Prince of Persia which I've never been a fan of.

Should be an interesting experience either way.

Next time I get paid I'll be grabbing it on GOG.com!

Crap This month snuck up quick both PS1 & PS4 versions for me, now let's see how far before I get stuck and quit. Although similar to Prince of Persia and other such cinematic platformers, I give this game the edge for its humor and darkness also I think the save points help since they are frequent you can chip away at this game.

I like that Oddworld gives you infinite lives. You need 'em.

I had this game back on PC back in the day and really enjoyed it. Weird humor and a cool dark world. The gameplay is kind of like the Prince of Persia, Another World, Flashback, etc stuff. I remember Exodus being extremely hard from the start, but the first game was doable. I might get the remaster or something to give it another go with you guys.

Does it count if I play Oddworld: New 'n Tasty? How much does that game depart from the original?

My understanding is that it play similarly but the puzzles are somewhat different.

I think it still counts.

I played this game on the Xbox back when it was new, I actually liked it quite a bit though I never finished it (If I remember it gets pretty hard eventually). I wouldn't mind playing it again to get some of the atmosphere, I wonder if my computer can handle it!
