I’ve been wasting several hours recently playing Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath on my Xbox. As with most of the previous games in the Oddworld series this one succeeds in combining a quirky sense of humour with great gameplay.
Set in a bizarre version of the Wild West where the citizens are chickens, outlaws are piglike creatures, you play a bounty hunter named Stranger who is a kinda Humanoid-Feline.
Stranger requires moolah to pay for an operation and the only way he’s gonna get it is to bring in some bounties by hunting down outlaws using his double-barrelled crossbow which can be loaded up with a variety of different live ammo.
The game is a mix of first-person shooting and third-person melee and platforming and it’s great fun especially blowing the crap out of badguys using explosive bats launched from the crossbow or beating them senseless using some brass knuckles.
