    Sheepo is a very fun and welcoming action platformer with plenty of puzzle-solving and challenges for the sharpest minds. Thanks to its intuitive but defying gameplay, as well as fluid movement and very inclusive options, there's something here for players of all profiles who are keen on puzzle challenges and on exploration.

    On first impressions, Sheepo is a welcoming, inventive Metroidvania with slick aesthetics. But its stark environments and lack of combat result in a rather empty world which does little to establish the game in a sea of able competitors.

    Sheepo never gets boring throughout its three-hour run time. It was correctly paced and had some delightful moments, both in narrative and tone as well as platforming puzzles. While it does try to change some things up from its competitors, nothing it does is better than other games in the genre. This isn't bad though and fans of 'Metroidvanias' are in for an enjoyable time as it manages to scratch the itch for a 2D open-world platformer, even if it's only for a couple of hours.

    this game is short and sweet. charming and light. the controls feel great and the game is just fun to play. A combat-less metroidvania.

    I played this and Gato Roboto recently. I could get used to these little bite sized metroidvanias. the critic score of 70 is underrating it.    … Full Review »
