YMMV / Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

Go To

  • Demonic Spiders: Vykker Sawbones. They kill you in 3 hits, are fast, have a lot of health, and usually come in groups.
  • Game-Breaker: Possession just might be a tad overpowered as the Security Orbs aren't as frequent of a nuisance, and the player rarely ends up in a situation where he doesn't have the Spooce needed to make Possesion Orbs.
  • Moral Event Horizon: The Vyykers cross it when they perform unethical testing experiments on the Fuzzles. Humphrey in particular ignores Madam Margaret's condition so he can use Munch for his own purposes (unless you get the bad ending).
  • Player Punch: The bad ending, which essentially has the Fuzzles you are trying to save angry at you for leaving them so many to die and essentially just leave Abe and Munch to die in horrific ways. This is followed by a developer message berating you for doing so terribly.
  • Polished Port: The PS3 re-release, which is completely bug free, works like a charm, and has some actual updated graphical quality to boot (like better fur on some of the furry stuff, like the Fuzzles). A lot of these features were thankfully later added onto the HD updates for Munch's Odyssee.
  • Porting Disaster: The PC Oddbox version was this pre-patching. When a fantastic spec computer struggles with broken textures, water that doesn't render right, random crashes, and control problems with a HD re-release of a ten-year-old Xbox game, something's horribly wrong...
  • That One Level: The Loading Dock. There's a section of the level swarming with Vykker Sawbones, which can kill you in two hits. Munch is the only one with any offensive prowess in that portion of the level, since Abe can't possess enemies without getting caught and attacked.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: For some, the "Interns". Although they are antagonists who attempt to attack Abe and Munch, they are notably similar to Abe himself, being slaves with their Mouth Stitched Shut who are kept subservient via an addiction (in this case, the music being pumped through their headphones, according to Word of God). It can be fairly horrible to watch them get torn to shreds by Fuzzles while they desperately attempt to scream.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: Some discs of Munch's Oddysee has an E rating on it instead of the original T rating.
  • The Woobie: Munch being the last of his kind hits the player hard in the opening cutscene.
