Part of it is pure nostalgia, sure, but although Owlboy looks like an "old" game, it sure as hell plays as a modern one. The 10 hours give (challenging) platforming, (sometimes challenging) boss fights, haunting soundtrack, great characters and a story that mixes mystery and I love this game so much, it's hard for me to explain. There is just so much stuff packed in this brief game. I love this game so much, it's hard for me to explain. but I never stopped enjoying it… I give Owlboy an 8/10 … Expand Owlboy is worth pushing through its crashes and late game level design just for the heart put into its story characters and world… it’s a shame I stopped having fun playing the game. having beat them before beating them again was nothing. theres one spot towards the end where if you die in that spot the game crashes every time without fail, but the most heartbreaking crash was after a hard boss fight that I was on like try number 12, I finnaly beat the boss trophy pops and crash, I have to do it all over again.
its my fault, I can get back in there and beat this boss and once I did it was a great feeling of relief getting to continue through the level or go onto the next… The charm of the characters and the challenge of the boss fights waiting for me is what really pulled me through this game as after about the 2nd level things started to feel like your pretty standard platforming levels… I felt the heart draining the deeper the game got and I feel it over stays its welcome a bit… my biggest issue with this game though is its current stability problems… the game crashed on me more than 5 times. but at the same time fair enough to make me feel like im losing because of me. in boss fights theres no fruit grabbing, you gotta beat them with the health that you have at that point… all of them taking multiple tries for me to defeat… some of them making me want to stop the game. though there are fruits you can grab to refill your health. all of them containing multiple boss fights which are the most frustrating but most satisfying aspect of this game.
levels stopped feeling like a treat to get through and more like a chore… they just drag on forever. and as the game goes on youll unlock more characters to handle other obstacles, and you can switch through these characters freely, The level design here starts out really charming but for me I liked the game less and less as it went on. you can carry him and use him to help you shoot through obstacles and shoot enemies in your way as you make it through this games different levels, doing small puzzles and throwing switches, collecting as many coins as you can to spend on upgrades. at first you have your best friend geddy with you. There is so much charm and care put into the pixilated annimations, in the characters you meet throughout your journey both in their personality and their diolog… this is basically a platformer where youll be flying and shooting instead of jumping.
