Firs of all: The game is really awesome and you should play it if you can.One thing, which I like, is that the owlboy called Otus is like superhuman in his strength - I mean: he lifts up one man which weights surely about 120 kilos! Even with that big wings that seems a bit - hm -unrealistic. But it's ok - the game is really great!The graphics are pretty nice and held in a retro style - it fits the game perfectly and gives the right feeling.The sound - when a music plays - is pretty nice, but since you don't hear that much from the music because most time of the game it's all silent or there is no music but a bit annoying sound effects.Started the game just recently but I've had a lot of fun till now, I'm sure, that I'll play the game again in the future.The story seems pretty awesome, even if you don't read all of the dialogues, you find out what happens at times.As far as I've come, the game has so much to explore, so many little secrets and till now it gave some cool new items every once in a while which opens new ways. (But at the moment I'm kinda sad, because I collected that many coins and I hadn't got all the items from the seller, I hope she will return).The game is not very difficult (at least, if you have a working mouse -.-) and I'd recommend you to play this game with a mouse and a keyboard, because it adds a little extra to the game. You shouldn't rage quit, because the game is really not that hard, and if you die, I've got a tip: press "R" to restart from the last checkpoint quickly, makes a death less annoying!
The game's really fun and you should try it. It feels a little like metroid but newer.And by the way: I absolutely LOVE, that you can fly in the game, in every other video game, I always have some problems with like not falling into stupid holes of death in the floor, with wings this risk dies fast.It has a very sad story, and after about one hour of gameplay you'll need a time out - it is really sad and you get, that the characters are sad too. They behave like real humans, not like dolls who don't care for anything that happens.It's a nice experience and a super nice game. I will guarantee you, that your first playing session will take about three or four hours. It's addictive and full of fun, sadness, hope and so many other things, it is like you're playing in a movie but it's better.Even if you are a fast paste player like me, you will love it, because you don't actually have to speak to every npc and you can skip almost any sequence if your heart desires.It takes quite some time to master the controls at first, but the game slowly introduces you to new tech.There are even optional "boss fights" which give you some more coins.All in one: A great game!
