This game is worth the buy.

I own this game on the Switch, and didn't use GoG for it. As far as I know, there's no difference between the versions. I don't like spoilers, so I will try to not mess with you by giving any of those. The TL;DR : This game is worth it. If you want a good Metroidvania experience, this is a game you want. A list of other Metroidvanias that I think are great, so you can compare: Axiom Verge A Robot Named Fight Vision Soft Reset Iconoclasts The Messenger Super Metroid (+ the other 16-bit Metroids)

Great pixel art, good gameplay and nice music. What else do you want from a platformer?

A beautiful, yet too simple game

Owlboy is a lush, gorgeous free-flight platformer. Seriously, the presentation is phenomenal. The amount of polish from a graphical, audio, and story perspective rivals full studios' work. Coming from a team this small, the game is an absolute joy to behold. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn't quite as amazing as the presentation. The free flight is a lot of fun, but it never feels like you unearth anything of major import; generally exploration off the beaten path just nets you more Buccanary coins. In addition, the dual-stick combat never feels like it really clicks. It's a little slow and non-threatening, making it a bit uninteresting compared to the rest of the package. In short, the game is comprised of a very real, believable world; the core gameplay itself, though, rarely rises above "adequate". If you're looking for content voyeurism, this is a fantastic game to behold, just don't expect to be wowed by the minute-to-minute play. Really, the comparison I like to trot out is to Solatorobo: Red the Hunter on Nintendo DS. That game also sported excellent presentation and a fantastically realized world, but squanders it on gameplay that is too shallow to carry it through. Owlboy isn't quite so egregious, but I really, really hope that we get another game in this world with some gameplay improvements, because a sequel with some more interesting gameplay would be fantastic. Elsewhere, I rated this a 7.5, and I don't want to round down, so 4/5 stars it is. It may click for you more than it did for me. Kudos to the dev team for sticking to their guns and getting this out; it provides a good foundation for hopefully good things to come.

An OK Metroidvania

Owlboy is a perfectly serviceable metroidvania. It's certainly not bad, but ultimately, I stopped playing it before I finished it. It felt like a chore to keep coming back. I think this would be a good fit if you prefer to have a metroidvania really hold your hand a lot. There is an open world, but it mostly exists to connect specific areas you're pointed at. As such, most of the upgrades didn't feel like they were opening things up, just general progression on a rail.
