Oddworld: Soulstorm Review: ‘A mixed batch of brew’

By Michael Leri

Oddworld: Soulstorm Review for PS5.

Oddworld: Soulstorm, like its name implies, is an odd game. It’s somewhat of a remake of 1998’s half-sequel, half-spin-off Abe’s Exoddus, but also new enough to avoid actually being a straight remake. Such roots plant some parts of Soulstorm in the past, while others put it right on the cutting edge, resulting in…

  • Astonishingly beautiful and well-animated cutscenes.
  • Simple story with an engaging mystery at its center.
  • Gameplay, when it works, is still a unique blend of the puzzling, platforming, and stealth genres.
  • Extremely buggy.
  • Lack of a quicksave feature kills the pacing.
  • Controls are often cumbersome.
