Falls short of expectations. Exploration is near non-existent as you fast travel everywhere. No point in the ship building mechanism when you spend barely any time in your ship. Game looks nice but that's about it.

This game only gets 3 stars due to being fidgety like it’s predecessor, as well as due to inconsistencies with the gameplay. The checkpoint feature can create unwanted dilemmas, causing you redo parts of an area before progressing. The quick save feature from PS1 days would be better. There’s one thing with failing a challenge and overcoming it, but constantly having to redo challenging areas to get 100% takes the fun out of it. Not to mention times where Abe doesn’t want to grab onto a ledge, then sometime he does. Some areas sligs can’t shoot you, either an obstacle is in the way or you’re far off screen, then suddenly they can out of nowhere. Areas where you can’t get through due to not having enough moolah, despite looting everywhere. Causing you to restart the entire area 🙄 This game should really be 2.5 stars, the story and art is great as per usual, but the gameplay is irritating, fidgety and inconsistent. Clearly nobody at Oddworld Inhabitants listened to criticisms when New n Tasty came out.
