#OWLBOY SWITCH REVIEW PC#

The only thing Otus really struggles with is combat, but thankfully heвЂ™s got a few friends to support him on his journey that are a bit more dab-handed as far as taking down enemies is concerned. ItвЂ™s certainly a unique take on the genre, but it blends together platforming action with twin-stick shooting (more on that later) in a way thatвЂ™s not only intuitive in design, but works perfectly in-game too. Sure, you can run, jump, and roll around, but youвЂ™ll spend most of your time gliding through the air, zooming through hoops, and reaching platforms that even platforming greats like Sonic or Mario would have no chance of leaping up to. Given that Otus is an owl who can fly, Owlboy doesnвЂ™t play like a traditional platformer.

It really is a tale of growth and overcoming the odds, and it makes for really effective storytelling. Platforming-adventures arenвЂ™t always known for having the most gripping of plots, but OwlboyвЂ™s takes you through all the emotions as you watch OtusвЂ™ personality and confidence develop despite all kinds of setbacks. ItвЂ™s a charming little tale and one thatвЂ™s easy to get absorbed into, but itвЂ™s not always as cheery as it looks. When dangerous robotic Pirates attack his home village and neighbouring city though, heвЂ™s thrust into the spotlight and has to put his own self-doubt aside to become the hero that the world desperately needs. Owlboy puts you into theвЂ¦ erвЂ¦ talons of Otus, a mute owl whoвЂ™s not exactly the most competent of heroes. With its recent release on the Nintendo Switch though, IвЂ™ve finally had the chance to play D-Pad StudioвЂ™s much-loved adventure, and what can I say? I loved it, and canвЂ™t believe it took me this long to actually play it. A crime, I know, but with so many titles coming out and not enough time, it slipped passed me. ItвЂ™d been a long-anticipated title, but one that actually managed to live up to the hype when it finally released.Дespite being a fan of 2D platforming-adventures, I actually missed out on it the first time.
