Abe's Oddysee is one of those games that marked my youth! One of the great successes of the PS, and also on PC. And since we can already consider it a retro game, it has that typical difficulty from those years! I've lost count of how many times I've abandoned and resumed this game. Me, who is not a gamer of difficulty and challenges... But the game's dark world, the beautiful art and story almost straight out of Burton's mind, the behavior of the characters, and the difficult but well-rewarding challenges managed to conquer the noob that I am. All with a perfect soundtrack! No matter the platform, this game is very well made from every point of view. Of course, at the beginning, it can be discouraging, as it forgives almost nothing. But at least you can save easily, so it's worth it even for the less patient among us.
