Abe's Oddysee is a dark and brutal game but a very funny one too. Abe is a very fragile character, he dies with one hit and has no attacks of his own, yet he is constantly in danger from meat grinders, explosives, falling rocks, bees, trigger-happy sligs, rabid slogs, ferocious Scrabs, deadly Paramites and the nefarious Glukkons who have enslaved his people to use as food. It's a neat little platformer with lots of clever puzzles and some great locations and character design including Elum, the weird but brilliant two-legged mule thing. It's very satisfying to defeat your enemies and rescue your 99 fellow Mudukons using only your wits and words alone, though having the mystical ability to possess and control your enemies also helps.
