IGNby Chloi Rad
9.3/10
Owlboy shines thanks to surprisingly varied, Metroidvania-style gameplay and a charming cast of unlikely heroes whose bittersweet journey is among the best I’ve experienced in recent years. Its remarkably detailed pixel art makes every scene more breathtaking than the last, but it’s the relationships between characters in both story and gameplay that makes Owlboy something truly special.

Dungeons are fun and well-designed, and the story will keep you moving at a steady pace

A beautiful adventure platformer with a cheerful pixel art veneer, but with very modern themes.
