Owlboy lacks this distinctive mechanic to be remembered by. Just look at what FEZ achieved with the simple mechanic of rotation mixed with simplistic platforming. The talent is there, the main challenge is creating mechanics that are as interesting as the rest of the game. I hope for great things in the future, I hope the team wants to go even further. I think it's fair to call it a work of art in this respect. It deals with heavy themes (disability, estrangement, bullying, being ignored) in an intelligent manner, withouth boring and transparant moralism, without banality. I'm highly sympatethic to the game, I have lots of respect for its creator. For me the characters in Owlboy are Monkey Island II level, and I feel the same joy encountering and getting to know new characters as I used to feel in old school lucas art games. The story is simple and good enough, but the game really shines in character creation. It's by no means perfect, mechanically it's mediocre, but the world is interesting and beautiful enough to keep me engaged and immersed all the way to the end. But it was nice to rego through some of these dungeons and absolutely wreck shit at some pointįinished. After that you just got the last stage so you can also trivialize's solus's fight.Īll in all, wish some of these upgrades would drop sooner, or able to have a new game + to have them as soon as possible just for the heck of it. However having the cape makes the entire ship section trivial and fun as you can also litteraly blast through bombs (both the guided one, and the one that drops through the shaft. So you'll have it for the last sections of the game. Sadly you can only get the glitter cape after you've done Mesos's passage, which will help you find the last boguin, and then do the cannon minigame which is the last thing you'll need to unlock it. You don't get a lot of mileage but it makes sections of the lava dungeon really fun and the snake boss really easy.
You can get Alphonse's improved shotgun after just going a bit into the lava dungeon (just collect a few to get to 2000 and then use the teleporter).
You can get Geddy's improved range as you unlock Tropos after the advent attack, as that will get you up to 1500, which can come in a bit handy during the Jungle temple. A bit annoying you can't get significant upgrades at earlier point through the game but still, makes the game enjoyable.
