Critic Reviews for Goodboy Galaxy
Goodboy Galaxy occasionally asks for more patience than it should, particularly when its backtracking and hint systems leave you circling familiar ground. But it never rests on its laurels, constantly introducing new characters, scenarios, gadgets, and gameplay wrinkles before any one idea has time to wear thin.It's rare for a game this compact to feel as dense. As both a love letter to the GBA and a richly designed adventure in its own right, Goodboy Galaxy is easy to recommend.
Goodboy Galaxy is a wholesome platformer game that rewards friendship and has a lot of backtracking and a unique gameplay style that is challenging at times.
Goodboy Galaxy is a very well-done title. Despite the number of false stopping points, the overall adventure has some very memorable characters. The gimmick of constant equipment removal makes the adventure more thought-provoking instead of a slog, while the presentation is excellent, regardless of whether you opt for the PC-specific enhancements. For both genre fans and those who love more involved platformers, Goodboy Galaxy is well worth checking out.
Goodboy Galaxy is one of those games that feels real. It’s a Metroidvania to be played at a leisurely pace, with a sense of curiosity—and the understanding that you’ll need some patience to get through the tougher parts.
