Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Considering mechanics and difficulty, the game has also received some significant adjustments which make it a better experience, though it’s still quite challenging and thus too challenging for children in my view.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like the first game, Abe's Exoddus is an action puzzle platformer with fantastic graphics for the time it was released, and a great story with very deep lore.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and the cutscenes are pre-rendered 3D sequences and they look just great for a game that came two decades ago.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design further enhances immersion, with haunting ambient effects and unsettling mechanical noises echoing through corridors.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've had a lot of fun with it and think anyone looking for a sturdy platforming experience with an above average difficulty will too.
