Oddworld’s wild west
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD is a unique game to play, even almost two decades after its original release. The setting blends science-fiction with classic western motifs made famous by the likes of Clint Eastwood. The gameplay combines shooter, platformer, and puzzle elements. A hybrid viewpoint allows players to switch between first-person action and third-person exploration.
You play as Stranger, an outlaw with a haunting secret. Track down bounties across the wastelands of Western Mudos and choose how you want to approach them. Either bring them in alive or send them to whatever afterlife they believe in. However, you collect the bounty is up to you; just make sure Stranger doesn’t go home empty-handed. He needs all the money he can get.
In addition to having great gameplay, Oddworld games are designed to make you think. Oddworld Inhabitants continue to craft experiences within the Oddworld universe that are analogous to that of our world. Stranger’s Wrath is an examination of timely philosophical themes. Such as the displacement of indigenous people, the privatization of resources, and the rising cost of health care.
