"Oddworld: Munch&s;s Oddysee HD encapsulates a time in gaming when 3D puzzle platformers were still in their infancy yet its campaign is undeniably fun and full of variety. However, many facets of its adventure simply don&s;t hold up well with …"

"As previous iterations, Munch&s;s Oddysee lacks the charm from the original 2D games. When it jumped to the 3D real, new doors were open, as new problems, focused in the camera and controls, that are present here. It&s;s a more …"

"For a game that&s;s almost 20 years old, Munch&s;s Oddysee on the Switch holds up incredibly well. It&s;s a fun and creative platformer in an odd world that is still super fun to play and figure out from start to …"

"Although it was good in 2001, Oddworld: Munch&s;s Oddysee is let down on Nintendo Switch by awkward camera angles, frustrating controls, and bland environments."

"Ultimately, Munch’s Oddysee as a game hasn’t aged particularly well. It shows very plainly that it was made in a transitional era, when 3D adventure games were still coming into their own and finding ways to create purpose for themselves. …"

"Third installment of the series, Munch&s;s Oddysee is a flawed yet enjoyable game for its first entry in 3D. However, this port of the 2011&s;s remaster still has some issues, such as remaining bugs and inadequate button assignments."

"While it does exhibit a lot of absurd charm, this HD remaster of Munch&s;s Oddysee simultaneously holds up both with its unique characters and world while also showing its age in varying degrees in its gameplay."

"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 …"

"Munch&s;s Oddysee is still the worst Oddworld game and his new remastered version for Nintendo Switch doesn&s;t change that. The result of this last port is a game that is truly mediocre."
