Owlboy Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
With its heartfelt story, consisting mostly of sorrow, friendship and comradery, Owlboy, the latest from D-Pad Studio, is worth checking out on Switch. https
The weird and wonderful Owlboy makes the leap to the PlayStation 4. Does it stick the landing? Find out in our Owlboy PS4 review.
Owlboy excels in more than one area and combines all its strengths to deliver an unforgettable experience.
In short, Owlboy is plainly superb. As it was in 2016, D-Pad Studios has crafted an excellent adventure that should be played by all. If you’ve already experienced Owlboy on another platform, there’s nothing here you haven’t yet seen. But if, like me, you never did play it before – now is the perfect time to experience one of the best indie adventures in modern memory.
After a successful flight on PC, Owlboy soars onto the Nintendo Switch! Is this game a hoot, or is it too tawny for its own good? Let’s burrow into this game and see what we can spot!
When that patch comes, Owlboy is absolutely worth checking out, even if just for the pretty artwork and enjoyable story. Fortunately on top of that, the gameplay is also sound, delivering a nice puzzle platforming experience with a wealth of variety and distinctive elements. That being said, the Switch version is rough around the edges right now. It’s still possible to play through and enjoy, but it might be worth holding out for the patch (or even the physical version in May).
Traversing a lovely 2D world as an owl / human hybrid sounds like a lot of fun. However, does Owlboy offer an enjoyable indie adventure?
A beautiful-looking and sounding action-platformer with room to grow.Inspired by Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kid Icarus, the action-platformer Owlboy always seemed like a perfect fit [...]
Being a console gamer, I missed the original release of Owlboy on PC, a game nearly a decade in development and receiving a ton of positive praise and industry recognition. The game has finally made its way to a home console with the Nintendo Switch and frankly, I don't see what all the fuss was abo
Although Otus can’t speak, his posture and facial expressions convey his thoughts enough to make him lovable, and his companions are all entertaining in their own ways. Optional scenes flesh them out even more, and the only downside is that such a fantastic cast of characters deserves a more satisfactory ending to their story.
