Ha, I was reading a review for Stranger Mobile and the guy loved it - but he completely shat on the gameplay of the originals.
I never really got the criticism that Abe was awkward to control. Particularly on PC it's one of the smoother platformers I've played.
EDIT: maybe completely shat is wrong but here's the quote:

At this point, I'm going to step aside from the history lesson to inject some personal feelings into all of this. I don't like Abe's Oddysee. There, I said it. I love Abe as a character, and I think the game has a beautiful and unique presentation, but I don't think it's terribly well-designed. The Oddworld Inhabitants were new to the craft and while the game was an amazing effort in that context, the lack of experience showed. I'll talk more about this should the game ever come to iOS, but I want to set that down immediately. Abe's Exoddus was better in some ways, worse in others, and Munch's Oddysee, while irresistibly charming, is the sort of decent-yet-forgettable 3D platfomer effort that flooded the early-to-mid period of the sixth-generation consoles. The entire series up to and including Munch unquestionably had a big fanbase, but I genuinely believe Oddworld got by on its personality more than anything else.
