PSN Description:

You are the last known human in the universe, and all that's left of you is a disembodied head. Seeking clues to your fractured past, you must travel through a hostile world of machines using a special helmet that allows you to dock into and take control of any robotic host body. As you launch from one body to the next, you'll start to discover that things are not quite what they appear to be, and the fate of humanity has yet to be decided...

Fresh from Double Fine Productions, Headlander is a retro-futuristic, side-scrolling, action-adventure game set in a world inspired by '70’s science fiction. It is a world of automation, a utopia gone wrong in which all of humanity have transferred their minds into robotic imposter bodies and are ruled by a deranged computer. Brought to you by Double Fine Productions (Psychonauts, Broken Age) and Adult Swim Games (Duck Game, Jazzpunk), Headlander is guaranteed to be the ultimate head trip.

A fun Metroidvania in a retro futuristic style inspired by a 1970s aesthetic. It's a game that's irreverent and slightly absurd. But I wish they leaned into the absurdity a bit more. It seems to me like they dipped their toe into it and played it safe most of the game. Perhaps Headlander is a little simplistic, but the gameplay is good and it doesn't overstay it's welcome. The platinum takes between 8-15 hours depending on your playstyle. There is only one missable trophy (male driver) that can be achieved 10-15 minutes into a new playthrough, so a blind playthrough is encouraged. The map is easy to navigate and trophy clean up is fairly easy with careful observation. Unlike other metroidvanias nothing is particularly well hidden.

I would definitely recommend this game. I had a lot of fun with it and if you are looking for a short easy trophy hunting experience you can't go wrong here. Maybe sooner than later as this game, like many Adult Swim games, may be on the chopping block for delisting in the near future.
