Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
DOSPlatformer
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is a cinematic puzzle-platform adventure developed by Oddworld Inhabitants and published by GT Interactive. It follows Abe, a Mudokon slave working at RuptureFarms, who discovers that his people are being processed as food and begins a dangerous escape and rescue mission. The game combines side-scrolling exploration, environmental puzzles, stealth, character possession, and a distinctive Gamespeak communication system. Its detailed 2D presentation and darkly satirical story made it one of the most memorable PC platform adventures of the late 1990s. Critics and players especially praised its atmosphere, animation, world-building, and ambitious puzzles, although its unforgiving checkpoints and occasionally opaque solutions were frequent criticisms.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
