Heart of Darkness is always mentioned in these discussions. And for good reason


I tried to like the game but I couldn't get into to it. Waaay too difficult for me.

Another World is a pretty good one, I think Lorne himself said he was partially inspired by Flashback.

It's still in development, but CANDLE is a game that was consciously inspired by the Oddworld games.

They're not really all that similar to Oddworld, but Beyond Good and Evil and Psychonauts have a similar feel IMO, mostly in terms of tone.

Found another one.

Nosferatu for the Super Nintendo had gameplay mechanics similar to Oddworld.

I almost forgot that moment in Abe's Oddysee when Abe punched werewolves. Good times.

Okay that was a bad example.



I meant to show off that the game has ledge grabbing, hopping over gaps and switches just like in the Abe games.

Okay I guess it does.

But both games remind me of the Abe games. Just because of the ledge grabbing. This thread is called Games Similar to Oddworld. which they both are in terms of certain mechanics.

Varrok your killing me.
