Oddworld: Fantasy of Sci-fi?
Do you think Oddworld more into the fantasy genre or sci-fi? I always thought of it as fantasy for some weird reason. Most people think "all aliens, totally different planet, super machines, it must be sci-fi", but my opinion is that Oddworld is more fantasy. There's magic/spirituality, which is a big check in fantasy. And I think that I always considered it fantasy because, as much as the inhabitants of Oddworld are strange and different, they never came across to me as 'alien'. Maybe it's because they deal with some of the same issues we deal with. But that's my opinion. What's yours?
