Lord Spencer's Gaming (and other stuff) Blog

For me, the top 70-61 games according to Retro Sanctuary's Top 100 PS1 Games list are proof of the strength of the PS1's library. It includes genuinely very good games like Klonoa and Fear Effect as well as games with the respectable legacy of Oddworld, PaRappa the Rapper , and ISS Pro Evolution 2 . As usual with Retro Sanctuary's list, not everything belongs here, including ports of better Arcade and PC games. Of the games in this list, I have reviewed three games as wells as two games related to them. Generally, this is equal to other games I reviewed but is actually lower in the list than I would have put them. There are better games outside of the Retro Sanctuary list that deserve to be here. Let's see how the next 10 games turn out to be. Please enjoy:-

There is no doubt that Oddworld was a unique breath of fresh air (despite Abe's foul farts) when it was first released on the PS1. It was an interesting Puzzle-Platformer with a unique look and a subversive story. Also, it had hugely ambitious lore behind it. Yet, playing it now, I cannot but wonder at the patience players at the time must have had to enjoy it. Abe's Oddysee is a game that demands precision without being equipped for it and has some very obtuse solutions to puzzles on top of that. That's not to say that its unique charm cannot be engaging some of the time. #63(S): Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee: Year: 1997. Genre: Puzzle-Platformer. Publisher: GT Interactive Software. Developer: Oddworld Inhabitants.
