Watch: Let's play Owlboy

It's a hoot.

Owlboy is a real treat to play. The presentation is gorgeous and the story manages to be by turns witty, touching and heartbreaking. Of course, hopefully you knew it wasn't a turkey from Joe Donnelly's review published earlier this week.

To show off this fine feathered game, I recorded two Let's Plays; the first of which covers the opening section. You might have seen this bit of Owlboy before if you happened to play the demo.

The second video starts right where the last left off, leaving the area covered in the demo behind and heading for the mysterious Owl Temple.

Hopefully those videos managed to give you a sense of Owlboy's charms - do feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below. Puns are, of course, encouraged. Owl go first.
