PS Vita users might still be waiting for the chance to play Munch, but just in time for the holidays, here’s Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD. It may not be the best game you’ll ever play on the system, but it’s guaranteed to be one of the games that makes you fully appreciate what the handheld has to offer.What can a small team achieve in 10 months? How about porting a classic Oddworld console game to the PS Vita! The heroes at JAW beavered away since the launch of the handheld in February 2012 to bring you the most the console has to offer. Even if the plot probably won’t draw you in, its setting does a great job of putting you in the right mindset to enjoy the game as soon as you pick it up.Īnd if you’re a Vita owner, you really should pick it up. Everything about Oddworld is richly imagined, from the wide-open spaces and vast canyons, to the towns filled with quirky townsfolk. The game is helped, too, by the fact it looks and sounds fantastic. It’s easy to imagine Oddworld becoming horribly repetitive if you were to sit down on the couch and expect it to sustain you for hours on end, but in this kind of context, it works quite well. In other words, it’s a plot that lends itself to quick, short(ish) missions - something you can play on your Vita in short bursts, something that won’t require you to remember back story or complex gameplay mechanics when you whip out the device for some quick gaming.

Oddworld combines those two things more capably than anything else I’ve played. Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD physical cartridge for the PlayStation Vita. Having played nearly every game that’s come out on the Vita to date, I feel comfortable saying this: I don’t think there’s anything on the system that fits it more perfectly than Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD.ĭon’t get me wrong, there are certainly better Vita games. Limited Edition PS Vita Strangers Wrath goes live on December 9th. Developer: Just Add Water / Oddworld Inhabitants
