Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (1998)

The game continues the story of Abe, who is charting his efforts to save his fellow Mudokons from another plot by the Glukkons to exploit them. Abe discovers that the Glukkons are exploiting Mudokon slaves, this time to produce a drink called Soulstorm Brew, which uses Mudokon bones and tears as its ingredients. The player assumes the role of Abe, embarking on a quest to halt production of Soulstorm Brew.

The game was released to similar critical acclaim as the first title. Reviews praised the game's ability to allow the player to QuikSave anywhere they liked, an omission that had attracted much of the criticism in Abe's Oddysee, while noting that it was very similar to that title.





Gameplay:
Abe's Exoddus is a two-dimensional platform game, with many of its features taken from the previous title, Abe's Oddysee. This game is also split into screens; when the player moves into the edge of the screen, the environment is replaced (just like in the previous title). Most screens include various puzzles that must be solved through the use of Abe's unique abilities: "GameSpeak", possession, controlling mine carts, activation or deactivation of mines or levers, and rocks, grenades, or bones that can be picked up and used for different purposes. Normal abilities include creeping, walking, running, rolling, hoisting, jumping, and crouching, all of which have specific application and make up a necessary arsenal of moves.
