Freedom Planet

Generally really good but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, final dreadnaught is absolutely agonizing. I did manage to power through the final 2 levels after getting a controller with a decent d pad, but i simply can't be arsed to beat the final boss with Brevon. Its way too hard. I will also say, as someone whos used to finishing sonic levels in 6-7 minutes please dont have urs drag on for 20 on average im gonna get tired For the rest of the game its pretty cool and entertaining though, and I am very much a causual, so my experience may be different compared to the average persons play time. I hope the sequel is less annoying, the concept is there and whenever im not fighting a boss im usually having fun.

Sonic but you're farther back on the screen so you can see more stuff ahead of you. Good level design. Less "gotcha, you're dead" stuff. Generally way more forgiving. Lots of stuff to find. Voice acting is horrible but you can skip it with classic. 9/10.

I was too hyperbolic in my initial review. I apologize. But I still feel like my opinion on this game has grossly soured from playing the extremely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ final level and all its bosses. Freedom Planet wanted to deviate from Sonic fangames and use its talent and enthusiastic developers to tell its own story and establish its own IP, while still retaining the spirit of 2D Sonic. I can respect that. Unfortunately, this is another one of those cases where the development feels misguided and didn't really know what made Sonic - and to a lesser extent Mega Man - shine so well. Just like Spark the Electric Jester, Freedom Planet makes the careless mistake of making its levels TOO BLOODY LONG. Which wouldn't be that bad, but with 3 different character stories that repeat a majority of these tedious stages, I just lost interest to even attempt Carol or Milla's Story. Not to mention, the story as a whole is just not interesting. Lilac, Carol and Milla are not interesting - or even fun - protagonists. Along with the overdramatic tone and even some grotesque scenes, it's hard to differentiate it from some amateur's self-insert fan-fiction (and I hate using that term). Long cutscenes betwe…

Freedom Planet is a great example of taking other ideas and making them your own. Another indie game that wears its inspiration on its sleeve and delivers an excellent experience. There are two characters to choose from, with more that are unlocked as the player explores the game. Four characters are available, each with their own abilities. Milla can dig up items and fly short distances, as well as reflect lasers and create blocks to throw at enemies. I found her the least interesting to use. Some bosses were more annoying to fight with her, others were unusually easy when using the reflection ability properly. Carol can climb walls and flail wildly with her claws, which is pretty fun if you like getting close to enemies. Taking a note from Devil May Cry, she can also ride a motorcycle up walls and fight enemies with it. Moving through levels with the motorcycle was also a lot less clumsy than I expected, especially when jumping across platforms or holding on to bars on a ceiling. Lilac was the most fun to use, and I was under the impression that she was the intended character for most of the game. She has an extra boss to fight at the end that Milla does not, and her primary abi…

hidden gem too bad i cant play it a lot cause i play too much limbus and metal gear rising

If your a sonic fan this is a must have I give a 8.5. The cons first the game is challenging its usually in a fun way but there a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ especially in the later levels. The aliens in armor that follow you have way too much health and the poison flower that has a range attack that takes up half the screen and respawn in second. My Biggest gripe with the game is that it doesn't save at your check point so you have to finish the level and beat the boss some levels have mid bosses. The game does have a arcade lives mechanic but its completely pointless you can continue as Meany times as you like and running out of lives starts a timer press start and continue back at the check point now the pros the game is a solid platformer similar to sonic but it does have its own identity. The games story like its gameplay is very fun to go through don't expect Shakespeare. the voice acting is a bit rough like watching a old anime. there a lot of different enemies and varied environments and platforming challenges like using a giant arrow as a platform.
