    Bought this game based on positive reviews. The music is very good. Controls take some getting used to.

    This game is so much fun! It gives you that nostalgic feel from early gaming in the Nintendo & Sega era of entertainment. It's a twist on the classic 2 stick shooter style game, with a slight twist and wonderfully charming storyline. Do yourself a favor if you do not own this game yet, buy it now!

    An extremely charming game with interesting new take on classic gameplay, humorous and unique characters, and well developed game world. It can be slow at the start but evolves into a competent platformer. It shows that its an indie developed game and is a little awkward on the joy-con. Easy to pick up and put down in portable mod since it saves room to room.

    This is an indie game with great attention to detail through pixel art. The animation is fluid and the music is almost cinematic. The gameplay also feels fun controlling Otis with having him fly around and each new mechanic you’re introduced to is used to its potential.

    This is a truly colorful and creative adventure play with a lot of fantasy saturation on all the characters and village settings. Something I’d imagine children finding an escape in game play next to a Mario game but the graphics are more retro influenced.

    This game is great and definitely worth a purchase. Tight controls and compelling gameplay. Beautiful visuals and unique battles but can get slightly buggy and repetitive at some points so that's why I can't give a full 5 at this moment. If you have the cash, go for the limited edition because it's awesome.

    I was playing through, reminds me of Wind Waker in story direction and is a nice button-masher of a game. However in the first temple I accidently clipped out of frame without even trying, and couldn't get back in. Triggered 3 auo-save load points and missed most of the temple.

    Charming pixel aesthetic and an interesting gameplay mechanic in which Owlboy moves and your companion attacks. I would have liked to see more done with the packaging - the inside is just white with legal information! Other than that, the game looks and plays great on the Switch.

    I am hooked on this game due to the near visuals they have and the dialogue really helps make it better. The controls are easy and any age group would find this fun and not as difficult to play.

    This may very well be one of the most amazing retro-styled experiences on switch. A great game that will really appeal to adult gamers who remember the SNES and Genesis days.

    Owlboy is a stunning platformer, by a small indie dev over the course of 10 years. The result is a labor of love that is fun to play and visually beautiful. Highly recommended!

    Heard good things about this game so I tried it out, and I'm glad I did. It's a fun platformer that looks good too. Check it out if you're a fan of the "metroidvania" genre.
