wolfy42 11/17/19 11:54:56 PM #7:	Just another game among many I bought but got bored with after a few hours. I never end up actually playing them within 2 weeks of purchase or I guess I could return them. Last time I bought games I pretty much promised myself I would try them right away, and I ended up returnign all but one lol. That is what I am going to do in the future. --- Zangulus "I try to avoid having any knowledge at all of his dick."

skullbone 11/22/19 4:17:57 PM #20:	Yeah that makes sense, to be fair I think most of the hype from Owlboy came from the fact that it was in development for 12 years or something. There was an easy story that publications could latch onto.

Hyper Light Drifter is an overhead pixel art Zelda-esque game. Aegis Defenders is one part Metroidvania and one part tower defense. Pixel art. It's extremely unique and good!

Crossing Souls is an overhead pixel art action adventure puzzle game. Hard to describe. Vane is a 3D realistic exploration puzzle game similar to Journey and Shadow of the Colossus.

And never would have found any of them if I hadn't kept my eyes peeled and did a lot of research. Absolutely solid list, I'd second 90% of these easily. --- Terminal Crazy https://imgur.com/R9TrmGD <cite>Mad_Max posted [p:930555903] in Owlboy kin...

Aegis Defenders is one part Metroidvania and one part tower defense. Pixel art. It's extremely unique and good! Iconoclasts is an amazing pixel art Metroidvania. Owlboy is a pixel art Metroidvania. Children of Morta is an overhead Diablo pixel art roguelike. Crossing Souls is an overhead pixel art action adventure puzzle game. Hard to describe. Vane is a 3D realistic exploration puzzle game similar to Journey and Shadow of the Colossus. Extremely bizarre. But flying around as a bird has never felt more beautiful. Hard Corps Uprising is a sidescrolling shooter. Technically a Contra game....but with anime. Some of the best hand-drawn sprites I've seen in a long time, with 3D backgrounds and bosses. I almost forgot about Axiom Verge! Others worth mentioning: Moonlighter Death's Gambit Dead Cells Blasphemous Strider HD Flower Wizard of Legend Songbringer Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight All amazing games!

Still haven't played Ori so I can't compare but it looks awesome. --- Terminal Crazy https://imgur.com/R9TrmGD <cite>Mad_Max posted [p:930556019] in Owlboy kin...

The hype lasted exactly the right amount of time. --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos <cite>Lokarin posted [p:930557208] in Owlboy kin...
