Oddworld Soulstorm should run well on gaming laptops

The sharp-looking 2.5D sidescroller Oddworld Soulstorm is out tomorrow, and you're not going to need a super-powered PC to play it.

More power under the hood is always better, of course, at least when it comes to playing games on your PC, but Oddworld Soulstorm's minimum requirement should be pretty manageable for most:

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit
    CPU: Intel Quad Core 1.7Ghz
    Video: Nvidia GTX 670 or equivalent
    RAM: 8GB
    Storage: 20GB

The recommended spec isn't exactly a killer either:

    OS: Windows 10 64-bit
    CPU: Intel Quad Core 2.3 Ghz
    Video: Nvidia GTX 970 or equivalent
    RAM: 16GB
    Storage: 20GB

We got a closer look at Oddworld Soulstorm during the Future Games Show in March. Creator Lorne Lanning narrated a brief demo showcasing both the classic sidescrolling perspective we're all familiar with and a more cinematic approach to visual storytelling, including pans, zooms, and pullbacks that makes the game's hero, Abe, "look like an insignificant speck in a vast industrial machine."

Over the weekend, Oddworld Inhabitants showed off more, with a foursome of "quick look" videos on:

Looting and Crafting

Oddworld Soulstorm will be available on April 6 on the Epic Games Store. We haven't started on our review just yet, so we won't have a verdict on launch day, but we'll publish one as soon as we've finished the game and collected our thoughts.
