Where the three previous Oddworld games revolved around the puzzle-solving antics of Abe and later, wheelchair-bound Munch, Stranger’s Wrath was (and is) an action game that mixes third and first person perspectives, stealth, shooting and even a bit of fist to face action when required. The story revolves around the titular bounty hunter, Stranger (who’s visually reminiscent of a few classic Western heroes all rolled into one) as he sets out to claim a number of bounties in order to earn enough to pay for an urgent operation he needs. There are some issues with the touchpad and game camera being a wee bit too touchy, but otherwise, the game is a solid effort that’s long and often challenging if you’re trying for the least violent means of playing through the game. It also holds up incredibly well as a stellar single-player game thanks to a great story with an excellent plot twist or two, some fine and witty dialog and a great Oddworld vibe that’s still fresh today as it was back in 2005.
As with the console version, the reworked HD visuals from the Xbox game, smooth animation, newly recorded voice acting and other features translate quite nicely to Sony’s portable.

Even if you’ve already bought and played the PS3 version back in 2011 or still own the original 2005 Xbox release, it’s absolutely worth picking up Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD on the Vita just to see how well the game was tweaked for the system.
