Critic Reviews for Headlander
Headlander from Double Fine Productions is a fun, quirky science-fiction Metroidvania game with engaging puzzles, strong exploration elements, and flying heads.
Double Fine's head-spinning sci-fi puzzler has plenty of style but not enough substance to sustain its lengthy adventure.
Not as unique as you’d perhaps expect given the premise, but still a very stylish, characterful and funny adventure.
Headlander has a few rough spots, but its 70s retro/sci-fi aesthetic and head-swapping gameplay are out of this world.
The game is loaded with Double Fine’s signature humor, from snappy dialogue to turrets that apologize while firing at you
Headlander isn't Double Fine's funniest game, but it's one of its most consistently fun
Headlander's weird world overflows with color, power-ups, and personality.
The moment you begin Headlander and see the VHS-style lines show up along with the formation of the old-school title with a blast of colors and a jaunty tune, you know you’re in for something good.
