Like any puzzle worth its salt, the eureka moments outweigh the struggle. You're asked to weave between steam geysers while haphazardly juggling concrete plugs and a frayed temperament as you figure out where the heck you're was required to push and pull and fill next. One conundrum makes great use of Otus' unlimited flight stamina by demanding he push, pull and squeeze water from steam clouds in order to access keys from rainwater ducts. Why a new hard drive could make a big performance difference.Īs in Zelda, each tomb/dungeon/cave is rounded off by an end-of-zone boss that often requires the use of whichever skill you've mastered en route. For the most part, the puzzles require some degree of cooperation, and each cavern's learning curve is evenly paced meaning the game affords you plenty of time to learn each new skill in turn. Otus eventually uncovers a teleporting device and thereafter transports Geddy to various locations in order to access otherwise unreachable and inaccessible locations. One example of such intuitive teamwork occurs in the opening dungeon when Otus and Geddy become separated. Owlboy there for you (when the rain starts to pour). New companions join the cause as the story unfolds - many of whom boast area-specific abilities, which in turn lends the game a Metroidvania feel at times. Early on, Geddy is your sole companion, his hand cannon laying waste to enemies and clearing the way of path-blocking rubble. It's so simple yet so, so enjoyable - particularly when you whisk Geddy off his feet and cart him around as a 'gunner' within the game's enemy-ridden caves and dungeons. Double tapping jump in Owlboy sends Otus skyward but - unlike the vast majority of games which include the ability to fly - he's able to soar freely without being governed by stamina metres or restrictive timers.īeing given the opportunity to circle the skies without hindrance is one of Owlboy's defining features. Otus' first encounter with overexcitable best mate Geddy just moments later, though, allows Owlboy to confidently tease its wide-ranging emotive repertoire inside its first ten minutes, while also serving to introduce the value of its central mechanic: flight. The latter's scalding of our seemingly misunderstood hero in the game's opening scene leaves Otus with his head bowed, sweat running from his brow and twiddling his thumbs.
