Описание
Fresh from Double Fine Productions, Headlander is a retro-futuristic, side-scrolling, action-adventure game set in a world inspired by 70’s science fiction. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a deranged computer. Brought to you by Double Fine Productions (Psychonauts, Broken Age) and Adult Swim Games (Duck Game, Jazzpunk), Headlander is guaranteed to be the ultimate head trip.

It's a very gentle recommend. There's a lot to love about the style and aesthetic and the game will keep you suitably entertained for its duration. However it is ultimately a bit shallow, it feels like aspects and elements of the gameplay and such should evolve as you play the game except it doesn't really. But I did enjoy it enough to complete it with an overall positive feeling.
Creative and very fun Metrovania type game. I love the visuals, the sound and the play mechanics. Great game!
Very short and sweet Metroidvania. An interesting concept, Very good vibes in terms of visuals and music, cool twist, give this game a shot.

Text Review:
-This game is a unique, odd take on the metroidvania as you can't even jump, and you play as a flying head that takes over bodies by sucking off their heads and then landing to take over their powers like Kirby (But not as weird or fanciful... you can get the ability to fire lasers with different spread patterns or take over a small body to get in a tiny hole etc.)
-But each body has its own dance you can activate by pressing a button (Unique music track included) which is one of the lovely quirky touches of the game (Who doesn't love the moonwalk)
-Rather pleasantly the game styles itself after the 70s (Instead of gamings' much more common 80s fetishism) with its shag carpet, lava lamps etc.
-And the 2.5D visuals are great (Arguably a better attempt at incorporating 3D into a 2D metroidvania because of the rigid movement... at least before the more mobile Prince of Persia metroidvania came along) and has nice backgrounds, a nice soft quality and sometimes cinematic angles
-The music is good enough (Can be generic sci-fi but it can ram home the beauty of space feel and the tracks that play during dances are a bit more 70s fun... unfortunately these two approaches rarely combine because when it does the result is interesting)
-Good voice acting (The robots sound and feel alive... sure not that surprising as their voices weren't distorted too much to robotify them) but voice actors obviously get reused, and the robot speak can have a scratchy, piercing quality (But hey Invader Zim is one of the voices)
-The story is a bit functional though (If it has one or two satisfying moments and the bots are likeable but talking to them is optional)
-The game is very stylish but arguably that's what keeps you going as there isn't really a movement challenge, secrets are easy to find and short, backtracking is removed to a large extent (That is probably a unique pro though for this genre), laser aiming can be finicky, active use abilities are fairly late game and by that time you may not want to start to use them and the headlanding doesn't give as much variety as Kirby probably would have
Practical Concerns:
-Good value (R2.00/ $0.19/ £0.14 per hour for me)
-Not the smallest (3.55 Gb)
-Not the easiest to run (Almost works on the warhorse)
What a curious little metroidvania. In this game, you are a head. Just a floating head, and you have to float around a space station, taking over robots of various ranks, to navigate through and save the cryogenically frozen bodies. It also has a strange retro 70s space aesthetic. The play control is good--the head moves around nicely. I'd say it's pretty fun to play.
