Some people will tell you that the most notable thing about Owlboy is its 9 year development cycle, they’re wrong. This game is so beautiful that I swear a couple of those years were spent polishing every last pixel to perfection. Imagine a NES game that doesn’t have to conform to the consoles’ 8-bit limitations, Super Mario painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, that’s Owlboy.

It’s not just a pretty picture either, the gameplay is fluid, the story is fascinating and the soundtrack is unmissable. Seriously, go and give it a go.
