   Abe's Oddysee was one of my all time favourite games when I was a but a mini-gamer. Now they have gone and remade the game for today's marketAbe's Oddysee was one of my all time favourite games when I was a but a mini-gamer. Now they have gone and remade the game for today's market and new fangled technology!
   
   It still has all the essence of the original, just with a face-lift and a few difficulty concessions - Which are welcomed. I won't lie, i never completed the game as a child without cheats, despite it being one of my all time favourite games, which is why i am happy i can now play it to completion! If you're a hardcore Abe fan and won't take anything less than the original difficulty, then there is a Hard mode, which brings you closer to the original experience.
   
   Overall, other than a few audio bugs (Which don't detract from the game thanks to visual cues), this games is amazing and i am having a blast! Well done JAW!… Expand

I remember getting Abe's Odyssey for the PS1 and just falling in love with everything about this game. The environment, the characters, the storyline, the struggles. Everything is executed to such perfection. Being able to relive those memories on the new systems with updated graphics is a dream come true. Reboot status: epic.… Expand

The puzzles are not very hard to be solved and with the changeable difficulty the game becomes easy in actions. I'm glad they kept a difficulty original to the Abe's Oddysee, something for those who are familiar with the game. Compared to the original game I have to say the movement was better in the old one because it was faster and instant, but not as realistic as in the new one. The quick-save option kinda ruins the point of the checkpoints, but it can also make the game easier for those who aren't looking for too much challenge. There were some bugs here and there, but it's hard to find them and not very game-changing.… Expand

   If you grew up playing the originals, this one is a must. One criticism: The combination of Up key while holding the Left or Right key makesIf you grew up playing the originals, this one is a must. One criticism: The combination of Up key while holding the Left or Right key makes you jump. This often results in unintentional deaths. The Space key is also used for jumping, so I don't understand why the Up key should also make you jump - super frustrating since there is no setting to turn it off [link omitted - not permitted] Other than that, 8/10 would recommend.… Expand
