    A glorious, if oversized, Collector's Edition

    Getting this in the mail was a treat. First of all, I wasn't expecting it to be such a large box! I assumed it would be around the height of a DVD case and just thick enough to store all the extra goodies (Think the boxes of Destiny's Collector's Editions, or IndieBox titles), but instead, it's a massive tall box that I'll admittedly have a hard time fitting somewhere in my collection. It's definitely a conversation starter, though (In the attached image is a copy of my Indiebox physical copy, for size comparison) Second, the contents itself are all wonderful. You receive a black notebook with gold embossed markings that looks and feels great, a small box containing 2 pins and 2 collectable coins, a certificate of authenticity, some stickers, soundtrack, and last but certainly not least, the game itself. If you're looking for a review of the game, I'd recommend checking elsewhere (I have this on PC, and to keep it short, it's a fantastic throwback to SNES/GBA style platformer games with a great cast of colorful characters with a gorgeous pixel-art style and an ear worm of a soundtrack), but this Collector's Edition, no matter if you picked it up for Switch or PS4, is well worth the price. I'd say it's more for people who are already a fan of the title, but still not a bad pick up if you just want a sweet Switch collector's edition.

    Despite the difficulties of trying to track down this Collector's Edition, Owlboy is an excellent addition to your library. Solid gameplay and memorable storyline. In regard to the Collector's Edition, it is massive, but contains so many great goodies. Only 6,000 were produced worldwide, so try and find one if you can.

    Owlboy is one of those indie games that feel easily as a AAA title in terms of quality and dedication put into its making. This is a must have, regardless if you purchase the collector's edition or not.

    Too big

    I don't understand why they made the box so huge. I actually have no space on the shelf for this. The game itself is incredible and critically acclaimed.
