    • “Reminiscent of games such as Katamari and Pikuniku, Henry Halfhead doesn't overstay its welcome and pulls the player through a simple, yet well-told story about Henry, merely half a head, who must navigate the difficulties and challenges of growing up different from everyone around them.”

    • “The physics and mechanics are very smooth, the art style is fun and simple yet expressive, and I loved that I was able to interact with almost everything.”
    • “Not a ton of depth in the execution of the possession mechanic beyond basic physics interactions (making things fall over, stacking them, etc.), and it would have been nice to see more systems-driven gameplay mechanics here.”
    • “Additionally, because the core possession mechanic remains largely unchanged across the game’s stages, certain tasks may begin to feel repetitive over time.”
    • “Subtitles didn't fully match the narration at times, and swapping between multiple objects that were clumped up together was rather slow and a bit tedious, even when using the precision swapping mechanic.”
