By today's standards it's hilarious that it caused such an uproar and controversy, and even more hilarious that people write the game off entirely because of it. For a short early 90s FMV this definitely is better than a lot of its ilk.
Next person who says this is a hidden gem on the Genesis is getting punched
2012
A game made for people with ten fingers on seven hands coupled with some of the worst weeb humour ever made that people defend to death because Daddy Sakurai made it. Strong contender for worst Nintendo game that isn't some random licensed Famicom Disk System or Nintendo 64 DD game that was never localized and only a handful of people in Japan played anyways.
2016
Of the six times a video game has ever made me cry, two of them are in this game.
1997
I hope whoever came up with that Gordo puzzle got fired and never got a job in the industry again

N64 Zelda games have aged like milk compared to this fine wine

Such a shame Nintendo stopped making Graphic ADV games because their few attempts show that they really understand the genre.

I got one of my races where I totally smoked my opponent televised on Nick and I’ve been chasing that gaming high ever since

Every cutscene goes like this:
"You must save us, Abe!"
"But I can't!"
"But you can!"
"But I can't!"
"But you can!"
"Ok I can"
I can appreciate that this isn't a 1:1 remake, but it's a reimagining that doesn't capture the amazing atmosphere of the original Oddworld games, and despite so many QoL improvements controlling Abe is like controlling a brick more often than not, a bigger increase on reaction based action setpieces also doesn't do it many favours.
However, being a sub-par version of Abe's Exodus still makes it a decent game on principle.

Yea I hated it when it came out and would be an insufferable prick about it but this has aged remarkably well all things considered. I'd go back to this before Melee and especially before Smash 4.
1996
First disc is five star material but once enter the lodge it all goes downhill real fast and never recovers. That completely ruins the game from being anything but average at best imo
2005
the gamecube didn't have nearly as many great games compared to the PS2 or XBox but god damn when it hits it hits

Best new Nintendo IP of this century.
Shame about the sequels tho, here's hoping 3 picks up their slack.
