![]() Stranger's Wrath takes place in an entirely different part of Oddworld than we've seen before, and Stranger himself is a totally new kind of protagonist for the series, too. This game is much more action-oriented than previous Oddworld titles, with serious shooting and melee combat elements in addition to some good, old-fashioned platforming. And from our initial experience, it does seem that Stranger is indeed a wrathful character. Oddworld (the company) has since decided to rechristen its new baby as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, first to avoid any pesky copyright conflicts, and more importantly to bring it in line with previous games' titles, such as Abe's Exoddus and Munch's Oddysee. To be clear, this is indeed the game you've heard of previously as Oddworld Stranger. But don't worry, Oddworld fans-that endearingly crazy sense of humor is still intact. In that light, Oddworld's newest game, Stranger's Wrath, is heading in an action-oriented direction that the developer hasn't previously explored. Mechanically, the previous three Oddworld games have focused on thoughtful puzzle-solving with only light action elements, but the leaders of the company will be the first to admit that the industry is changing as a reflection of audiences' maturing tastes. ![]() Since 1997, the quirky developer has used its Oddworld games to establish a particular tone-a particularly wacky tone-while managing to portray serious issues, such as oppression and the defilement of the environment, in a humorous but thoughtful light. ![]() The folks at Oddworld Inhabitants have a reputation to maintain.
