History YMMV / OddworldStrangersWrath

* DracoInLeatherPants: Sekto, surprisingly, has fangirls.

* PortingDisaster: The PC Oddbox version of ''Stranger's Wrath'' was this pre-patching. When a fantastic spec computer struggles with broken textures, water that doesn't render right, random crashes, and control problems with a HD re-release of a five-year-old UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} game, ''something's horribly wrong''...

* EvenBetterSequel: ''Stranger's Wrath'' for the Xbox Games. While ''Munch's Oddysee'' has its fans, some complained about how repetitive it can get and how easier it is compared to the Abe games. ''Stranger's Wrath'' is meanwhile much more varied and difficult, with a particularly memorable HalfwayPlotSwitch that changes the gameplay up significantly while not moving away from what makes the core gameplay work.

* HilariousInHindsight: Stranger has a similar design to the possible UncannyValley victim of [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 Beast]].

** Fatty [=McBoomBoom=] is another pain in the ass, as he will often launch towards the player as he tries to aim, his Outlaw Mooks are relentless, and the space is too small to limit your hiding options.

* CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Sekto]] is an [[PuppeteerParasite Oktigi]] who took over the body of the Olden Steef and hunted the rest of the Steef to near-extinction, keeping their heads as trophies. Becoming the head of Sekto Springs Bottled Water Company, Sekto dammed Mongo River to sell the water for a profit, causing the native Grubb population to suffer a deadly drought. If any Grubbs trespassed, Sekto had them killed and [[DeadGuyOnDisplay strung up as a warning]]. When protagonist [[BountyHunter Stranger]] is outed as the last surviving Steef, Sekto mounts an attack on the remaining Grubb villages, including the city of Last Legs. After Stranger fights his way to Sekto's office, the latter attempts to complete his collection of Steef heads by killing Stranger whilst [[MockingTheMourner taunting him over the death of his people]].

* FridgeBrilliance: Why is Stranger's voice acting so oddly paced and somewhat off? [[spoiler: He's a Steef. A side character's conversation reveals that Steefs ''can't speak''. Stranger had to '''teach himself how to speak the native language, but is not fluent.''']]
** Early in the game, Stranger says, with regard to his surgery, "I ''need'' this to ''survive''." [[spoiler:Once we know what the surgery is, his use of "survive" rather than "live" seems telling.]]
* FridgeHorror: Near the end of the game, [[spoiler: Stranger's bounty device converts enemies into ammo instead of saving them for turn-in later. The enemies are used as food for your ammo, which includes rabid furry things, bees, spiders, and spiked slugs. '''''You get more ammo from live enemies.''''']]
* PortingDisaster: The Oddbox version, originally. Broken textures, water that doesn't render right, and more crashes than a destruction derby. Its only saving grace is that it at least has the decency to wait until after saving to crash...
** PolishedPort:...as opposed to the PS3 rerelease, which is completely bug free, works like a charm, and has some actual updated graphical quality to boot (like better fur on some of the furry stuff, like the stunks). A lot of these features were thankfully later added onto the PC port.
* ThatOneBoss: Packrat Palooka, especially if you are trying to capture him alive.
** The DualBoss fight against the two Gloktigi can be really frustrating- if you let them get close, they can spam you to death with their [[ThatOneAttack spinning melee attacks]].
* DemonicSpiders: [[ActionBomb Outlaw Bombers]], who take out about 3/4 of your health if they hit you, are fast, and are a pain to capture (And are worth a lot when captured alive) because if you try to knock them out when their bombs are active, they explode and die.
