14 DAY TRIAL // Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, a remake of the original adventure game Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee published back in 1997, has been released on the Linux platform.
When the gaming community heard that Oddworld is being remade almost twenty years later, with a new engine, the hopes were very high. From the looks of it, the developers from Just Add Water (Developments) didn't disappoint and the first impressions are more than positive.
"Built from scratch from the ground up, enjoy new breathtaking visuals, enhanced audio and improved, deeper gameplay as New 'n' Tasty reignites the original Oddworld game using the latest next-generation technology. Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy guards as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly recrafted take on the classic adventure 'Abe's Oddysee,'" reads the Steam entry.
The game also comes with a couple of DLC packages, Scrub Abe Costume and Alf's Escape, which is a rather modern approach. Also, the systems requirements for the title are quite accessible and anyone can play. Users will need at least Ubuntu 14.04, an AMD Athlon X4 750K processor, 4 GB of RAM, a Radeon R7 200 video card, and 10 GB of HDD space.
The game also comes with a 10% discount that doesn't seem to have an expiration date.
