Critic Reviews for Headlander
Headlander from Double Fine Productions is a fun, quirky science-fiction Metroidvania game with engaging puzzles, strong exploration elements, and flying heads.
Not as unique as you’d perhaps expect given the premise, but still a very stylish, characterful and funny adventure.
Double Fine's head-spinning sci-fi puzzler has plenty of style but not enough substance to sustain its lengthy adventure.
What starts as a fine homage to Super Metroid and ‘70s style sci-fi ends as a disappointing waste of both story and gameplay potential.
Headlander has a few rough spots, but its 70s retro/sci-fi aesthetic and head-swapping gameplay are out of this world.
The game is loaded with Double Fine’s signature humor, from snappy dialogue to turrets that apologize while firing at you
Headlander isn't Double Fine's funniest game, but it's one of its most consistently fun
Headlander's weird world overflows with color, power-ups, and personality.
