Owlboy
Top 5 Best Switch Games of Q1 2018
Owlboy is similar to Celeste in a lot of ways; it’s a pixelated platformer that embraces verticle level design. It’s also really, really good. One of the indie darlings of 2016/2017, Owlboy made its way over to Switch earlier this year.
Unlike Celeste, Owlboy’s Otus is more capable of mixing it up in combat, so gameplay isn’t just about platforming. Otus will recruit allies during his adventure that will assist him in combat in different ways, utilizing different weapons and techniques.
In terms of story, just like Celeste, there’s a narrative here that’s much deeper than at first glance when you read in between the lines.
The Switch has become a haven for indie platformers, and anyone that’s a fan of classic 2D Nintendo games like Kid Icarus should definitely give Owlboy a look.
