The game lets you control a bounty hunter-type creature who goes by the moniker of The Stranger, picking up bounty by capturing them with specialized ammo and then vacuuming them up. But does that mean the game aged well? I believe so, though it depends on the player.

It is ranked 1378 on the all-time Top Rated Switch games, with a total of 11 reviews and an average score of 7.57. In fact, the game’s gone through a bit of technical boosting, so that it looks and plays than it ever did before. Oddworld: Strangers Wrath is a first-person shooter for the Nintendo Switch. And I’m happy to say that I’m just as giddy to play it now as I was on the original Xbox. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is one of the more unique games to come out of the last generation. Now, fifteen years - and a lot of aging - later, Stranger’s Wrath has returned, this time as a Nintendo Switch release. In his quest to earn enough Moolah, Stranger reluctantly accepts the ultimate bounty from the owner of the Mongo River and suddenly his adventure takes a very different turn.

At the time, there were very few games that stunned me the way this one did, with Oddworld’s devotedness showing in every ounce of its production. But Stranger is keeping a secret and needs expensive surgery to survive. One of my most memorable reviews that I wrote in my career was for the 2005 Xbox game Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath for the original Xbox.
