I typically don't write reviews, but...
Oddworld Inhabitants' Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath partly defined my childhood, and I hadn't had the chance to revisit it as an adult until now. The magic I experienced as a child is still very much present, and I'm thrilled to express that the game is just as exhilarating now as it was back then. Not only does the gameplay remain uniquely innovative, with the camera's position serving as a primary mechanic—a feature I haven't encountered in any other shooter—but the world of Oddworld is also incredibly fun and distinctive. It stands out in a remarkable way, setting itself apart from other fictional worlds in video games. The game's plot twist, occurring two-thirds through the storyline, is nothing short of incredible. Moreover, the tonal shift that follows provides a feeling that is unlike anything I've experienced in other games. The radical nature of this shift, coupled with the significant changes in both narrative and gameplay, is exceptionally cool. I sincerely hope for a sequel in the future. However, even if it doesn't materialize, I plan to revisit this classic for years to come.
