News, Reviews & Betas which includes large community peer support Oddworld: Soulstorm was recently released on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The title makes the jump from PC and PlayStation systems, but how does it fare on Microsoft’s devices? Read on to find out.
Oddworld: Soulstorm is a remake of 1998’s Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, the second game in the Oddworld franchise. The title not only features great visuals, but also adds new story elements that increase the scope of the tale. Oddworld: Soulstorm – Enhanced Edition takes this one step further. According to developer Oddworld Inhabitants, this version features improved gameplay mechanics, better character movement, refined audio, more responsive enemies and followers, as well as countless bug fixes. There are also a few new levels in there for you to enjoy on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X| S. The game has been available since April 2021 on PC and PlayStation platforms, but it’s finally making the jump to Microsoft’s devices. Oddworld Inhabitants provided me with a review code for the game, and I played it on Xbox Series X. While the title is enjoyable given the refinements included in the Enhanced Edition, it’s not great on a technical front even on Microsoft’s powerful console. The resolution and performance issues detract from the experience, in my opinion. Oddworld: Soulstorm takes place directly after Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! from 2014. Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! is itself a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.
