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.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
The incredible visual world of the first game is back in full force, and the naval theme gave the graphics artists some extra legroom, and the two sea-specific levels (Mistral Reefs and Spring Tide Bay) have some really breathtaking sights, even by GSTD standards.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with satisfying sound effects and responsive audio feedback, the soundtrack becomes an essential part of the overall experience rather than simple background music.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 147 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are solid for this game, I didn't mess up once because of bad controls or anything like that, Giana moved where I wanted her to, worth noting that I used an Xbox 360 controller to play through the game, can't say how the keyboard controls are as I didn't try them.
