Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD

не знаю что так все разнылись насчет управления на ПК. По-моему все окей. Играл в эту игру в детстве, решил перепройти. Игра шик

OddWorld: Stranger's Wrath is a game that tries to do invoke feelings of playing a hybrid of Ratchet & Clank and Conker's Bad Fur Day and unfortunately can't seem to find it's identity. For the first 60% of the game you spend time going into 3 different towns which act as little hubs to begin bounties, with each area having about 4-5 bounties. There is also a general store which allows you to purchase ammo and occasionally upgrades. suddenly after completing the last bounty in the 3rd (and last) town the story and gameplay take a sudden shift in direction. You're no longer collecting bounties and now set on an adventure to hunt down some big bad boss and the game suddenly becomes super linear. The story feels a bit convoluted with the final cutscene "twist" not even have much emotional depth because the sudden main antagonist of the game had basically ZERO deposition to explain the motivation behind why he is doing what he is doing. I could get over all that because the real attractive part of this game is cool combat and ammo type system; BUT its all ruined by the final quarter of the game spiking difficulty by stripping you of all your upgrades from the first portion and then giving you 3-4 different armors which in my opinion never made me feel like I was any more tanky than the previous suit. The REAL crime is just how buggy this game is. the worst offender is for some reason after you discover what the Stranger is I had a bug where if I tried moving from a stand still in 3rd person mode the Stranger would just stand there or spin in a circle, the only way I could get my directional inputs to matter was to get momentum first by either swapping into 1st person mode and then switching out after taking some steps, jumping, or attacking, This lead to some very frustrating moments and deaths because I would try to go take cover only to have the bug render me stuck in place while getting beamed by the enemies. The next bug required me to dig into an obscure forum because there is a section at the end where you are timed to run to the final boss' office while avoiding dying to snipers and gunners only to make it to the end and the Stranger not running through the door in the cutscene and you getting locked out of the next area, and since that section was the MOST frustrating one for me with a LOT of deaths it turns out you have to quickly skip the 3 second cutscene to teleport you behind the door or suffer the consequence of trying to make that run all over again. TLDR; The story is a mess with no clear reason from any major character for why they are doing what they are doing, the first 60% can cause people to drop the game from the rinse repeat bounty missions, and the bugs are enough to make you want to throw your computer out a window. Otherwise the premise had a lot of promise and the ammo variety was a treat.
