Why on Deck

Olija is one of those games that almost nobody talks about but everyone who plays it loves. The harpoon combat is uniquely satisfying (throw it, teleport to it, combo off it) and the cinematic pixel art has this moody, atmospheric quality that suits the Deck’s screen perfectly. It’s short, maybe 5 to 6 hours, which makes it a perfect weekend playthrough on handheld. PSU gave it a 10/10 and called it gorgeous, and honestly they’re right. Under 900 reviews. This is the definition of a hidden gem.
