Adorable and fun experience!
I've played this game through and through. All I can say is that the characters are lovable, and the storyline captivated me. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys fun characters and a world-saving story!

Made me tear up, games don't do that
The story is really what you should be hear for. The gameplay is good, except a part near the end that [Spoilers] then you're jumping and [Spoilers] which made me fall and die a lot in a way that was a little frustrating. Where it gets the 5-er is that the characters actually develop are charming as hell. By the end I can say that I was truly invested in what was happening. I can't name another game that took a silent protagonist (actually mute, not silent) and made me care enough to actually tear up a few times throughout the story.

Excellent Game! Beautiful Art! I love it
I have to say, this is just what I needed. It's a very good looking game, good controls with a very touching story. It's very forgiving, so it's perfect for people who don't like games to be too hard, but it's still engaging. Battles remind me of the old Mega Man games, patterns are clear and still a lot of fun. I played it using a PS4 controller, it worked flawlessly on Linux.

Failure to launch
Owlboy suffers from a fatal combination of really bad controls and mechanics, to do with general exploration and especially grabbing your buddy and having to fire and dodge enemies. The game is not a twin stick shooter although it seems as though it dearly wants to be and is frustrating to get to grips with. Boss battles amplify these issues and combined with poor indication as to what to do and far too nasty/fast boss moves makes these nearly as bad as Shovel Knight, although not by much. "Story" is boring and there is no sense of excitement is in looking towards the next area...if anything Owlboy feels contained - quite stupidly so - which is a disappointing contrast to the promise offered by the titular character being able to fly. Characters seem well fleshed out but are often more decoration than anything to properly interact with or get to care about. I liked the dungeons although the combination of screen transition switching, at random, from screen slip to camera track was ghastly. I wish it would have just done one and not both. Also you collect coins but no shop - dumb - why not just called them something else that unlocks abilities? A note about the software itself - it will crash on you.

Beautiful, short, but meh
If you want to know what happened if game development will be stuck in 2D, this game is the perfect example. The developer use 'high-bit' term, and I couldn't agree anymore. The pixel arts is so beautiful! The attention to detail is absurdly high. The animation is very good, the music is pleasant, and the sound effect is appropriate. But the story and gameplay itself..... The gameplay is okay, just okay. It's not bad, but not that good. Flying feels weird (I like tapping double jump, not jump and then direction) The platforming is not challenging enough, one of the boss have difficulty spike but that's the most fun boss fight, The story is borderline anime cringy, your character is lonely because everyone around him is a dick without good reasons. The story is trying to epic but full of mystery-science-non sense.
