    Henry Halfhead is a daft game with a lot of heart, and even if it only lasts a couple of hours they're still well worth experiencing.

    Henry Halfhead is a short but very relatable adventure about what we call our lives. It’s not very long, the gameplay is mostly very basic and you can never really fail. What sounds negative is mostly positive though. The story is short, sweet and offers enough room for everyone to take away from it whatever you want and feel. The simplistic gameplay offers room for play and curiosity. I was able to relate to a lot of what Henry goes through, even if that is sometimes a bit too on the nose and by the end of it he made me think about my own life as an adventure even more.

    It's not at all that Henry Halfhead is bad. It's good enough fun for the two hour runtime it offers. But it feels like the sort of game you'd play for 15 minutes, say 'wow, this will never get old!' and then 45 minutes later you're kind of thinking maybe you were wrong. If it committed more to being silly than to reminding you how fun silliness is by taking it away, then it would get old a lot slower, and would likely sustain itself for said two hours. Unfortunately, like Henry himself, it gets old a bit too fast to leave much of an impression.
