- For the Oddworld-mad like myself, it’s still worth playing through for its charm and occasionally smart puzzles, but for anyone on the fence, it’s probably the least recommendable game of the series.
George Foster · Jan 09, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - When Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee released on the original Xbox, it came with high praise and was one of my personal favorite titles from that system. The game was mind-blowing at launch, but almost two decades later, a lot of it is rough around the edges. The cutscenes, world-building, and storytelling hold up to this day, but almost all of the gameplay elements are out of place compared to modern games, with the wonky, tough-to-handle controls taking the cake.
Steven Green · May 27, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - There are a handful of moments where things come together to a limited extent and the Oddworld magic show signs of life, but it's always been the ugly stepchild of the series and the already-on-Switch follow-up was a brilliant return to form – we hope that the existence of Munch's Oddysee on this format is a matter of simply getting it out of the way before a re-release of the much n better Oddworld: New n' Tasty and the upcoming Oddworld: Soulstorm.
Stuart Gipp · May 16, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee is a fun trip down memory lane. The game offers a classical adventure experience that still plays fairly well, even when feeling dated at certain parts of the game. The game could have been a lot better with a proper overhaul of the sound design, as some parts make the game even more dated and a tad annoying. Nonetheless, if you never had the chance to play through the Oddworld games, this might be an interesting release to check out. Those who played the original games will probably not encounter anything life-changing, but it might be fun to replay this classic.
Ibuki · May 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - While it does exhibit a lot of absurd charm, this HD remaster of Munch’s Oddysee simultaneously holds up both with its unique characters and world while also showing its age in varying degrees in its gameplay.
Harrison Milfeld · May 14, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - All in all, I do have to say that Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee was a nice nostalgic experience, but its quirkiness isn’t quite enough to make up for its frustrating controls and terrible early 3D platforming camera problems. It’s a shame that the recent ports have only given it a facelift and not some desperately needed quality of life improvements. It’s charming and has some hilariously weird characters, but that’s unfortunately buried under the faulty gameplay mechanics.
Heidi Hawes · May 14, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - With an interesting plot and two funky protagonists, Munch’s Oddysee provides a smartly made game with forgiving deaths and options, giving players the freedom to explore with minimal consequences. Although the puzzles could be spiced up a little, the overall customizable experience and well-made gameplay are something to be celebrated.
Stephanie Sung · May 14, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - For a game that's almost 20 years old, Munch's Oddysee on the Switch holds up incredibly well. It's a fun and creative platformer in an odd world that is still super fun to play and figure out from start to finish. Don't expect any technical leaps forward or special additions to this Switch version. If you already own Munch's Oddysee on another platform, there is not much reason to buy the Switch port, unless you must have a portable version of it at all times.
Andreas Salmen · May 14, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is a faithful HD upgrade of a widely loved gem of a game. This Android release is perfect for true believers and new fans alike.
Matthew Noojin · Dec 11, 2015 Reviewed on AndRead full review - Munch is a good port of a fun but flawed game that unfortunately shows its age and era a little too much. If you have the patience to see yourself through the parts of the game that don't work very well, however, you'll get a good time out of the parts that do.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Play as the Gabbit with odditude, Munch, and his side-kick, Abe, as they lead a revolution against the conniving, corporate clods of Oddworld. Munch has been captured, poked, probed and generally violated by the greedy corporate sickos, the Vickers, and now it's time for him and Abe to turn the tables. Power up with Vendo Machines, use psychic powers to possess enemies and machines, arm yourself with oddball Vendo weapons, and rally Oddworld's wacked-out inhabitants (via GameSpeak) to stick it to the Vickers and save the day. C'mon. The fate of Oddworld is in your hands.
