Freedom Planet Reviews
This is clearly a game that takes its inspiration seriously, and is a lovingly-crafted tribute to a genre of games that a lot of people, are really fond of. No new additions compared to previous releases, but if you haven't already played this then don't hesitate to pick it up on the eStore.

Freedom Planet is the Sonic game that never was. It started as a Sonic fan game before becoming an original intellectual property, and yet, at the end of the day, I would vouch that this is the best Sonic game to come out prior to Sonic Mania. As a result, given the different story paths, the fast-paced action, and the number of stages, Freedom Planet is one of my favorite indie games. It doesn’t feel cheap, it doesn’t feel dated, and it plays extremely well. While it’s not a groundbreaking title, it serves as a love letter for players who enjoy side-scrollers. I recommend it for any system it’s available on, such as PC or Nintendo Switch. Be sure to look out for the sequel when it comes out!
Four years after its initial Steam release, Freedom Planet still stands as a good modern interpretation of the classic platforming formula. The multiple characters play differently enough that it's worthwhile to replay the game to see the different pathways and use different strategies to beat bosses. The two main modes do a good job of pleasing players who value narrative and those who prefer action, and the nice presentation solidifies Freedom Planet as a good choice for platforming fans.
Freedom Planet is full of retro charm but isn’t held back by it, instead pushing forward with new ideas to stand on its own two legs. The eShop is full of winning software, but don’t let this one slip by under your nose!
