Critic Reviews for Henry Halfhead
But it feels like the sort of game you'd play for 15 minutes, say 'wow, this will never get old!' and then 45 minutes later you're kind of thinking maybe you were wrong.
Sometimes half a head is all you need, as Henry Halfhead is an imaginative and fun time for gamers of all ages.
The game is very straightforward and only a couple of hours or so in duration, which is all the time it needs, really. It's a joyous little thing while it lasts, but smartly ends before it runs out of new things to show you.
Henry Halfhead is a novel idea, putting you in control of a half-headed man who can possess the items around him. It's both a sandbox and a narrative experience, although some sections can be as dull as the parts of our life they're supposed to represent.
If you enjoy nonsensical silliness and making a mess then Henry Halfhead is a wonderfully curious little game that you need to play.
Henry Halfhead is a creative, humorous, and original puzzle experience that is enjoyable for all. However, repetition with puzzles and abilities leads to an experience that is held back from being great. Still, this is a game worth playing for puzzle fans.
When the credits rolled I felt like Henry had a life well-led, and was a game well-made. It’s something truly enjoyed playing. While I can appreciate a bite-sized game, I felt it undercut a lot of the experiences Henry might’ve had across an entire lifetime. I think there’s more to Henry’s story. For its few drawbacks, Henry Halfhead is a sweet, kind, and memorable game that’s worth playing.
"Henry Halfhead" is a short but very concise adventure we call our lives. It's not too long, the gameplay isn't overly contrived, and you can't really go wrong. However, all of this is also positive. The story fits the length of the game and offers a pleasant experience in a short playing time. The very forgiving gameplay allows every player to tackle the objectives the way they prefer. Henry, at least, has grown on me and has given me pause for thought more than once, which is wonderful
