A real hoot
Owlboy is a game almost 10 years in the making; surviving a variety of ups and downs over the last decade, the developers at D-Pad Studio finally felt the sweet taste of universal acclaim when it launched on PC last year. The game tells the story a mute owl called Otus, an underdog of sorts who is always looked down upon and thought to...

so ready
This is easily my favorite game of all time. I'm so happy it got a Switch release!
Only one thing, there is no rumble
I wish the 'story driven' part of the review and press stuff was a little more emphasized.
Not impressed so far, lots of not very fun dialogue between random mini bosses and escape levels where you will die loads not because it is hard but because you have very little time to react and even figure out what to do.
A real shame as some artwork, cut scenes and design are really cool.
Also, enemies should blow up when they are dead not after a short animation, it kills any satisfaction in battle.
Also also, the way the camera moves between screens is janky, [removed] needs smoothed out yo.
A simple patch could make this a great game.
And to those who told me this was a metroidvania, you are arsebends who made me expect a different game and thus not enjoy the first few hours of this.
