Oct 5, 2025A touching and surprisingly deep adventure where possessing everyday objects tells a heartfelt life story, Henry Halfhead delights with its creative mechanics, charming art style, and brilliant narration, though its short length and some repetitive ideas slightly hinder the pacing.

Sep 16, 2025Henry Halfhead's unique concept and simple yet effective gameplay make it a great sandbox puzzler to cause mischief in. Despite wanting the game to go further with its concept and make the gameplay more ambitious, it settles for a heartfelt and relatable story instead, bringing more feeling into what you do as a result.

Sep 16, 2025If you enjoy nonsensical silliness and making a mess then Henry Halfhead is a wonderfully curious little game that you need to play.

Sep 16, 2025It’s the sort of game you’ll be thinking about long after the credits roll, as new revelations dawn. While it’s only short, its message is resonant – and in era where, globally, work and the need to hustle has become more pervasive in our lives, it delivers a message of resistance that everyone should hear. Play is powerful, and entirely transformative. We only need to remember how to weave it back into our lives.

Sep 16, 2025The game is very straightforward and only a couple of hours or so in duration, which is all the time it needs, really. It's a joyous little thing while it lasts, but smartly ends before it runs out of new things to show you.

Edge MagazineOct 2, 2025Attempts to bring the fun back into Henry's life make for a more engaging third act, even as they inadvertently underline that they (and we) are largely going through the motions. By the treacly finale, we're more saddened by the unfulfilled promise of the start. Lululu's insistence on Saying Something over exploring the potential of its central mechanic proves, well, unbecoming; Henry Halfhead is at its best when possession is nine-tenths of the lore.

Oct 2, 2025While its effective art direction and rich gameplay are undeniable, Henry Halfhead is an experience that hesitates too much to exploit its ideas, preferring to multiply influences without going there frankly. The result is a nice game, but one that lacks this strong structure both in its rhythm and the use of its mechanics and in terms of story, because of a dispersion that is too noticeable and which prevents it from being truly memorable.
