    Airhead is a captivating Metroidvania experience. Furthermore, it has some testing but enjoyable puzzles. Yet, it is its user-friendly approach that makes it stand out from its peers. As such, this is a great indie title that is well-balanced and enjoyable to play.

    Perhaps the opening moments of Airhead are a bit bewildering and the latter puzzles are rock hard, but as an overall experience, Airhead is a blast.

    Even without any dialogue or traditional narrative, Airhead manages to tell a story, though it may differ from one to another depending on your interpretation. It’s clear that Airhead was built with a lot of heart and passion but I found it hard to truly enjoy from being constantly stressed about finding a constant air supply. Challenging puzzles and classic Metroidvania gameplay is to be had for fans, and while it may not be a long adventure, it was certainly memorable for as long as you can hold your breath.

    Airhead is something akin to the likes of Limbo and INSIDE, but with way less technical finesse. A simple process of jumping might feel somewhat frustrating in Airhead, but luckily the game is focused on puzzle solving.
