"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."

"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 …"
