I totally meant the fourth wall. I said third because I'm stupid.

But you really don't see it in SW? The Clakkerz and the Grubs are both just large talking versions of animals we have on Earth. Again, I'm not saying they broke the wall. They just keep winking at it.
I wouldn't call that the Fourth Wall, but I see what you're saying. I don't think my opinions on the Stranger's Wrath character designs are any secret. The wagons in Stranger are an excellent example. It makes me wonder why OWI went with that design instead of the barrel-based architecture in concept art.

Basically me and my housemates have recently acquired an original Xbox, so as a humongous fan of Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus I've naturally been contemplating buying Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath. The only thing that's made me reluctant is the average reviews they've both received.
Average scores according to Metacritic:

Abe's Oddysee: 85
Abe's Exoddus: 88
Munch's Oddysee: 80
Stranger's Wrath: 88

Not really that offputting, surely.
