  8.0

  Songbird Symphony hasn’t uncovered some magical gameplay combination by crossing platforming with rhythm action. However, if you think you’d like to play a good, easy game in that unique space, with some headroom for more advanced music gaming, Joysteak has delivered with style and humour.

  The game is on the shorter side, I finished it in about five hours, but it was the perfect amount of time to deliver the full story Songbird Symphony set out to tell. Extra tasks are kept short, simple, and to the point, eliminating long, tedious errands or lengthy trips back and forth between worlds. From beginning to end, the game is set up like a story, with fun characters to meet along the way, an intriguing mystery, entertaining dialogue, and the heartfelt determination of Birb.

  While pixelated games struggle to charm players these days, Songbird Symphony manages it with ease with its witty platforming and fresh musical spin. Despite its brief nature, it is an experience that stands out beyond your short time with it.

  Songbird Symphony is one of the best games I have played this year. It came from no-where and melted my heart. It's a fantastic blend of several genres that is truly unique. It's a fun, easy-going musical adventure with a touching story. The art style and music is to die for and I cannot find any faults with it whatsoever. I want to play it for the first time all over again.

  It’s hard to recommend Songbird Symphony outright because the later platforming sections of the game are such a drag, but if the characters appeal to you from the beginning, it really is worth seeing the story through to the end – and what’s more, once you’ve finished the game, you can replay the songs to your heart’s content, without the platforming and rock-pushing between.

  7.2

  Probablemente pase algo inadvertido por el mercado porque tampoco es un juego redondo ni rompedor, el diseño jugable sufre pequeños problemas y puede saber a poco para quienes quieran un título más profundo en todos los géneros que toca, pero como opción para que los jóvenes disfruten de un plataformas moderno con un pequeño giro a la fórmula clásica, Songbird Symphony cumple de sobra.
