I always wanted to buy this game but the many performance issues kept me from doing so. Now that this patch has been released, I'll definitely pick it up once I have the money for it... probably in a week or two.
As someone who plays indie games almost exclusively, I adore how Nintendo is treating them. I've been disillusioned a couple times too many by 3rd party AAA game developers with their onslaught of DLC and micro transactions for me to care about them anymore.
I could be wrong, but by the looks of the enemy health bars this is going to be one of those games where it takes several minutes to beat one enemy. If that's the case, I'll pass.
I can highly recommend Owlboy. It is an absolutely stunning game with beautiful pixel art, great soundtrack and a heart wrenching story about depression, neglect, bullying, remorse and self-sacrifice. It made me cry at the end.
One thing this review overlooks is the downright beautiful and gripping story of Owlboy. Ultimately the story is an allegory about the struggles of real life: neglect, bullying, depression, remorse and self-sacrifice. I cried at the end.

Re: Rumour: Spyro Trilogy Coming To Multiple Formats Next Year After PS4 Exclusivity Ends
@Mr_Pepperami Oh god yes! A Klonoa collection on Switch would be so cool. Never played Tombi/Tomba but I've heard many good things about it.
And is it just me, or does the Spyro pictured above look kinda creepy? He used to be cute.
