The only real frustration in the game was a lack of a map – you will have to rely on your sense of direction here, and I did find myself getting lost once or twice in a dungeon. With a Metroidvania-lite playstyle, you will find yourself taking to the skies exploring the various locations within the game’s world – opening up previously unreachable areas using newly obtained skills. Well, as believable as a story about an Owlboy fighting robotic pirates can be… One thing that Owlboy does really well is in creating a backstory for all of the game’s mechanics Otus’ weaknesses are highlighted throughout the game so, of course, he isn’t going to be a fighting machine or discovering a teleportation device being the reason why you can switch between allies on the fly makes everything that is going on all the more believable.

The start of the game sees us introduced to the game’s main character Otus, a mute owl whom always seems to fall short of expectations. One of Owlboy‘s greatest feats is its character building and how it makes you care about the rag-tag bunch of companions that accompany you during your playthrough. Owl be there for you, ’cause you’re there for me too…
