Review: Goodboy Galaxy (Switch) – A Brilliant GBA Throwback That Loves Taking Your Toys Away
Fans of Metroidvanias are used to the genre’s design conventions: obtain new abilities, and tantalisingly inaccessible areas of the map gradually open up.
AI Summary
Goodboy Galaxy is a Metroidvania that subverts typical design by emphasizing the removal of abilities as much as their acquisition. The game began as a homebrew game‑jam project inspired by the Game Boy Advance and was funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2021 before arriving on Switch. The long‑awaited Switch port showcases vibrant visuals that shine on the console’s OLED screen, giving the title a surprisingly substantial feel despite its handheld origins.
