What I loved about Oddysee that was missing in Exoddus was the general sense of dread. That helpless feeling you get when you hear a slig off screen (one shot kills) walk into an area with Scrabs (almost being faster than you) , or see those ZZz bubbles from a slog hut. Secret areas like the Scrab Run in the Stockyards were so much more tense because abe didn't have All'Ya, or Quiksave, and one slip up could cause you to start all over again. You don't get many heart thumping moments like that, in this day and age, and I hope they keep it alive and well in the remake.
