Don Chalmers at GameCloud writes: "Owlboy feels, sounds and moves like how my mind remembers a game from an older era but is really a larger and more cleverly directed experience. The story lends it a unique level of sapience placing it amongst the glut of indie darlings from the last decade, and I loved the time I spent playing this game. If the current crop of end-of-year shooters has you feeling jaded and tired, or just pine for that indescribable feeling of magic that captured you as a child, this will go a long way to restoring your faith in the status quo. Owlboy is a masterful work of modern gameplay design, fantastic retro art direction, and emotive story-telling."
The Humble Award Winners Bundle is out now. It features Owlboy, Yoku’s Island Express, Yuppie Psycho, Quadrilateral Cowboy, and more. As usual, you pay what you want and a percentage goes to charity.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include games from Capcom, 20XX, Goat Simulator: The GOATY, Owlboy, and more.
What does a decade’s worth of work look like? You can start and finish almost any form of education; establish a career; raise a child; build a thriving business. For many, a decade of work could represent a house, a page on a resume, the title on a business card, or something less tangible — a feeling, even.
For some in the video games industry, though, a decade might produce a single product. Ten years of late nights, dashed-off ideas, and half-functional prototypes for a bundle of living, breathing code.
