Reviews

Olija’s best asset, truly, is its brevity. Its story is impeccably paced. Its mechanics never wear out from overuse. From start to finish, it finds new ways to gently goad you into using the harpoon in different ways, until it says its piece. I was taken with how emotionally resonant and mechanically pleasing it could be in such a short time. Succinct and satisfying is a rare combination, and it makes Olija a rare treat.

GameSpot

Olija is a fun, 2D action adventure that feels great if you want a break from complex, endless AAA. It’s too simple, and it’s only at the end when you catch a glimpse of all its possibilities, but we had a good time with it.
