Headland won’t set your world on fire, but it will provide you with a pleasant way to spend a couple of afternoons. This cute, colourful adventure isn’t about challenging or testing you in any way; it’s simply about having fun, exploring, and helping a young boy fix a robot. Aww.

Ultimately, Headland is a decent but forgettable little action-adventure title that features fun puzzle gameplay but sluggish combat. It’s definitely aimed at younger gamers, and there is a good chance that they’ll have fun with what’s on offer here, but there isn’t enough for veterans to sink their teeth into. Add to this that the price tag is ridiculously high and you’re looking at a title that you should only consider picking up when it’s on sale.

Headland is a cute game with a heartwarming narrative that is just simply enjoyable. It doesn’t hit high highs and the only real brushes with low lows are the dregs of the combat. I’d most recommend it if you have a younger gamer in your household looking for a charming romp with a positive message about creativity.

Levels don’t take forever to clear. Rewards are not impossible to earn, and death and failure are forgivable. Headland has a simple plot with a fearless protagonist. It features quick battles without requiring players to think deeply about their actions and choices. Though it may not have a memorable story, Headland provides more than a momentary enjoyment for would-be adventurers.

Headland is a simple but cute and well-made action adventure game, populated with cute characters, colourful settings and a surprisingly heart-warming message.

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