Critic Reviews
XboxEra
By Jesse NorrisAs this game is available on Game Pass if you’re into 2D action platformers then I highly recommend it. It’s a solid 4 to 5 hours of engaging combat in a genre that rarely feels this heavy. That goes for the story as well which uses a minimalist style to tell a tale of lonely sadness. Olija doesn’t give the best first impression, but if you stick with it I think you’ll end up having one hell of a good time.
GameOctane
By Jason GerminoIf you enjoy platformers with a really great art style and fantastic story, I'd absolutely recommend Olija. The gameplay alone is a nice draw to the game and it breaks the mold of platforming rogue-lites that have been going around lately.
GameGrin
By Alana DunitzOlija is a fun and engrossing action-adventure game that has you fighting foes and solving puzzles with a magical harpoon. A little on the short side, but a fun experience that leaves you wanting more

By Karel ŠírIf you're looking for a simple yet fun platformer that's inspired by somewhat different titles than your usual indie games are, to play over the weekend, you won't go wrong with Olija
Jump Dash Roll
By Derek JohnsonOlija has a fun gimmick, great visuals, and is only occasionally let down by levels that don't quite fully make use of its fun, core mechanic.
