Thanks for the review! I've not heard of this before, but with both you and InGameScientist giving is a pass, I think I'll do that too. But I'll still wishlist it and maybe get it on a super special, because I'm a game hoarder.

added to my list and might just play during an upcoming plane ride!

I had similar feelings with you -- I got it as part of a bundle and tried it and then...put it on the shelf. I loved the pixel graphics but it wasn't enough to keep me there

Your feelings on Owlboy are similar to how I feel about Cuphead.

Beautiful style, but the actual execution/mechanics don't work for me at all.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks for reading it. That’s interesting about cuphead. I am yet to play it, myself. I keep reading how difficult it is and hence haven’t started to try it yet. haha

Some games work for people and some do not. I like how you still found good things to say about the game and how honest your reviews are. 😊😊

Thank you. I want to be transparent and it is always hard to be critical when it is essentially art that developers and artists create.

Oooh 😯 I definitely want to check this one out. One of my closest friends swears by it. Just added it to the wishlist. I’d love to discuss it once I get a chance to try it out. That music was beautiful and agree the artwork is too.

I’m definitely in the minority in not liking it. I can appreciate elements of it for sure but it didn’t work for me overall. I’d love to see what you think and what bits get your friend excited about it.
