Thought it was a platformer - turned out to be a dream where I sprint on rainbows and yell at a crown-wearing owl. Now my cat refuses to look at the screen. Best way to turn breakfast into a psychedelic cocktail.2 found this helpful

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams – Rise of the Owlverlord is an impressive standalone expansion that successfully builds upon the fast-paced platforming mechanics and imaginative world introduced in the original game. Developed by Black Forest Games and published by Black Forest Games together with HandyGames, this adventure offers an entirely new campaign that feels substantial rather than a simple add-on. It delivers an experience that combines demanding platforming, inventive level layouts, and striking artistic design while maintaining the unique identity that has made the series memorable. Players who appreciate precision gameplay and creative mechanics will immediately recognize the care that has gone into every aspect of the expansion. The defining feature remains the ability to instantly switch between Giana's two contrasting personalities, each possessing distinct movement abilities and transforming the surrounding environment in real time. One form emphasizes agility, graceful aerial movement, and controlled navigation, while the other focuses on raw speed, powerful attacks, and destructive momentum. This mechanic goes far beyond a visual effect, as every level is carefully…
A good old continuation of classic a classic gem It's a shame director's cut is not sold on steam tho
way shorter than the other game but still very challenging
Looks great. More of the same though. Super frustrating and repetitive. I think people really into platforming might like this, but I guess I am just not feeling the little girl special needs sounds. I am sure a ton of work went into this. Music is even repetitive. Basically, I am too old for this crap. I think the most annoying thing is that it's a ton of trial and error. Look. I get it to a degree, but there are a ton of instances where I think I can jump somewhere, but nope, I guess I just die there for reasons. I will give this a thumbs up just because I think this is mostly just not my thing and that's not the developer's fault.
