Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD

Works perfect on steam deck. Runs perfect on steam deck. One of the most memorable games from my early teens.

Dall'universo di Oddworld, uno shooter in prima persona che vi metterà nei panni di un cacciatore di taglie, dedito alla caccia dei suoi bersagli da scovare e catturare: il tutto, accompagnato dalla sua fida balestra e dai proiettili animati che montarvi sopra, per delle soluzioni tattiche insolite alle volte necessarie per superare ostacoli o nemici con particolari protezioni. Un vecchio cult dal passato che però, al netto di un comparto grafico datato per ovvie ragioni, è invecchiato abbastanza bene. Cheers...non fatevi ingannare dalla tenerezza di alcuni proiettili.

Any game that has the gall to tell a serious story based on real world issues, while also having a boss named "Jo Momma", is a game worthy of respect. Buy it now.

Gotsta....get the review posted....good game, I thinks....

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD looks great, but it's a horrible port! Why port a console game and not have controller support?!? It's just flat out stupid! Have it say "This game is not designed for controllers" is also stupid. This makes me never want to buy another older game ported to PC. NOT recommended

[h2]Verdict[/h2] ✅ Recommended, but mostly for nostalgic players An okay Oddworld spin-off that I respect more than I personally want to keep playing. [h2]My history with the game[/h2] I played Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD on Steam for 33 minutes. I did not play this game back when it originally released, so I do not have nostalgia for it. I mainly tried it because I wanted to explore more games from the Oddworld series. After trying it, I can say it is okay, but it is not something that grabbed me enough to continue. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ✅ Worth trying on sale 🖥️ Requirements: ✅ Easy to run 🎨 Graphics: ⚠️ Old, but acceptable in HD ⏱️ Length: ➖ I stopped after 33 minutes 📖 Story: ➖ Did not hook me quickly 🎮 Difficulty: ✅ Simple to understand 🐛 Bugs: ⚠️ Launcher issue with anti-aliasing [h2]Technical note[/h2] The game did not launch for me when anti-aliasing was enabled in the setup launcher. If the game does not start, try turning anti-aliasing off. I also set the maximum FPS to 60, but in-game my monitor still showed 144 FPS. [h2]What I liked[/h2] * It is an interesting and different take on the Oddworld universe. * The idea of mixing first-person and third-person gameplay is unique. * The HD version makes the game look playable enough today. * I can understand why nostalgic players or older fans may still enjoy it. * It is not a bad game, just not really for me. [h2]What didn’t work for me[/h2] * The game did not hook me during my short playtime. * I cannot imagine myself finishing it. * Without nostalgia, it feels more like an okayish older game than something I personally need to continue. * The launcher issue with anti-aliasing is annoying. * The FPS setting also did not seem to work properly for me. [h2]Is it an endless game? How long to beat?[/h2] No, this is not an endless game. I personally stopped after 33 minutes, so I cannot fairly judge the full length. This review is based only on my short Steam experience. [h2]Who will love it[/h2] You may enjoy Stranger's Wrath HD if you played it back in the day, have nostalgia for it, or like older action-adventure games with unusual mechanics. It may also be worth trying if you are a big Oddworld fan and want to experience something different from the main Abe games. [h2]Replay value[/h2] For me, replay value is very low. I tried it, I respect it, but I do not feel any motivation to continue or replay it. [h2]Final note[/h2] Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is an okay game, and I can recommend it to the right audience. For nostalgic players, it may still be a fun return. For me personally, without nostalgia, it did not grab me enough to keep playing. Recommended, but mainly for fans and nostalgic players.

Yet another diabolical PC port of a console game to prove yet again that consoles are and always will be superior to PC. I'm off to boot up my original Xbox and play this game the way it is meant to be played.
