Songs for a Hero - Definitive Edition
Would I recommend this game? Yes, I already have actually. However I do have some issues in regards to certain aspects of the game that personally bother me that I’d like to share. But first I would like to open up with the things that I appreciate about the game!
The Positives
The charm this game exudes is so unique
With a singing hero so to speak
Our hero’s voice oh so soothing
Every line he sings is oh so amusing
The hero’s movements are freeing
A hookshot, double jump, a way of being

You ever play a game that advertises a really unique feature and go “Can this even work?” then play it and change your tune to “OH BOY THIS CAN WORK REALLY WELL” in the first hour? That’s what Songs for a Hero did to me. I’m keeping a much closer eye on Brazil in the future, because this game is a total work of heart and love for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive era of gaming.
See, Songs isn’t just trying to play on your nostalgia - it wants to be your nostalgia in the best ways possible. Not only does it sing to you in a wonderfully comedic fashion, but if you turn off the singing (which you can do if it bothers you) then you find an amazing homage to Wonder Boy and several other Sega titles layered into it. Sound effect and music design, physics and motion, and the look itself have all meshed into one of my favorite games of 2020. There were challenging points in the game, but never a point where I blamed or questioned the devs for why it was so hard.

Do You See the Waving Cape
“I thought that life was like a stage, and all the scripts were already written”
“I merely work hard to play the role of a hero and everything will happen as expected”
“But in reality, you can always guess the beginning but not the end.”
“So I was knocked down again and again”
“Until the whole body is bruised”
“Did you see the flying cloak” is created by the studio of Tai Xiaobai, who has been alone created “We Gather One Hundred Thousand Light Years”, “Like Being With You”, “Goodbye Sun and Rain”, and “Secrets in the Story” and all these works completed by one person in two years.
In the game, the cumbersome and redundant UI is removed as much as possible, and with the author’s unique, beautiful and story-like romantic hand-painting style, a touch of sadness is revealed everywhere, but it is warm and healing.

Sweet Love
A serious subject displayed with minimalist elegance and rhetorical gameplay. Video games are also great at that: to convey important, personal and yet universal experiences.

Don’t let my game time fool you, the game is finished in 16 minutes.
I am not fond of platformers in “normal” times. But Otterways made an amazing game that conveys a message all of humanity (men and women) should all learn.
If you can save buying a coffee on your week, you can buy the game, and possibly a few keys to share with whoever you want!
