Owlboy

The pixel art is gorgeous. Incredibly detailed. The boss fights animation is great. But the movement and gameplay is bad and unintuitive. Spam dash is pretty fun. The companion system is a pain in the ass to deal with. Camera's too zoomed in... funny thing is there's some part it's zoomed out and feels way better. The writing is pretty bad. Very basic. No depth at all. Hate the 3rd dungeon. Omega annoying stage and boss fight. Felt tedious to continue so stopped playing.

Only played a short amount, but this didn't click with me.

Weak ending boss fight, short game duration, and not enough world-building to understand what's going on. But in the end, it was one of my most precious experiences in indie gaming. I totally recommending it. Great pixel art and level designs. Also good characters.
