Headland Reviews

Dive into Nor’s imagination world to save it from corruption in this enjoyable (albeit sometimes simple) title about childhood and imagination.

Playing handheld on an OLED Switch, Headland looks sumptuous. Its colourful worlds jump off the screen, and every area is a pleasure to explore. Its bright and bold design shines best here; blown up on a big screen in docked mode isn’t quite so forgiving – though that’s true of the majority of Switch games.

Headland is a game based in an imaginary world with numerous different islands to visit and secret paths to discover. The gameplay and storyline isn’t overly ambitious and challenging for players, allowing one to truly enjoy the action adventure game without many obstacles. Though it seems to be marketed towards the younger crowd, Headland appeal is not limited to children. It can provide the same entertainment to teenagers and adults alike. It is a simple game that doesn’t demand a high level of skill or attention. Its many secrets and unexpected funny dialogue are enough for players to stay engaged with the hero’s journey for a good amount of time.

Set in a vibrant fantasy world, Headland sets you on a mission to keep a cute and colourful land safe from a villain that threatens imagination itself. Headland

Headland is a functional experience, but it lacks enough clever ideas or impact to make a lasting impression.
