Critic Reviews for Owlboy
A beautiful adventure platformer with a cheerful pixel art veneer, but with very modern themes.
It's taken nine years to land, but Owlboy is well worth the wait.
Owlboy shines thanks to surprisingly varied, Metroidvania-style gameplay and a charming cast of unlikely heroes whose bittersweet journey is among the best I’ve experienced in recent years. Its remarkably detailed pixel art makes every scene more breathtaking than the last, but it’s the relationships between characters in both story and gameplay that makes Owlboy something truly special.
A superbly crafted 2D adventure that is a near perfect blend of new and old influences, in terms of both gameplay and the stunning visuals and music.

Dungeons are fun and well-designed, and the story will keep you moving at a steady pace
Owlboy's touching story is brought to life through beautiful art and an unforgettable soundtrack.
