Is it still worth playing?

D-Pad Studio's 2016 platform adventure for PC, in which Otus, an owl from the sky village of Vellie, sets out to save it after pirates attack. Otus flies, but his only attack is a spin. To fight he carries a friend: Geddy, a guard with a pistol, and later others, each with a weapon of their own, can be pulled into his hands at the tap of a button. While he carries someone, the spin is not available. Otus can also carry objects as weapons or tools, and many puzzles mean taking something, such as a bomb, to another place. Bosses usually ask for the technique you just learned. The friends Otus carries shape both fights and puzzles, which still keeps each room varied today.
