Gorgeous adventure ten years in the making sets the bar sky-high
If Shovel Knight was the best game that late-era NES never had, Owlboy is the best game that late-era Super NES never had.
Owlboy is a special game. Almost a decade in the making has certainly allowed for a rarely seen amount of polish and effort in an industry brimming with day-one patches and rushed deadlines. I'm at a loss when trying to think of critiques, honestly. I can't even say that I wish there was more of it because what is here is just so damn satisfying from start to finish, and I wouldn't want to ruin that.
