About This Game

You are the last known human in the universe, and all that's left of you is a disembodied head. Seeking clues to your fractured past, you must travel through a hostile world of machines using a special helmet that allows you to dock into and take control of any robotic host body. As you launch from one body to the next, you'll start to discover that things are not quite what they appear to be, and the fate of humanity has yet to be decided...

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.

Good metroidvania style game. The artstyle makes it so that it does not nook dated. The world is well designed and the mechanics are fun to play. Not too complicated to 100% as well. 8/10

I found this game quite relaxing to play. It's not overly difficult or complex, but the atmosphere is very well done. Controls are responsive, and the idea offers for some fun gameplay. I originally played this game years ago, and it has enough replay value for me to come back to it again.
