I especially love seeing Milla as a more independent person after the first game, but the cast is just charming overall. It's awesome seeing the cast's personalities fleshed out after the canonical 3-year gap after the first game.

Some of my favorites are in the provided zip file.įrom what I've gathered from the trailers, the characters and cutscenes are as fun and appealing as before. On that note the sprite work across the board is very crisp, it’s amazing, and character sprites aren’t lacking at all like they were in the first game. This game looks AMAZING! Dragon Valley looks beautiful with its starry night sky, vibrant colors, and crisp imagery. The way the characters move compliments their moveset, and everything flows very nicely. It literally just feels good to move around, and that speaks volumes for a platformer. Everything that felt good in the first game is better here, and that applies to everything else in this game as well. So with that out of the way, I can gush about the actual game. It’s funny though because I first played Freedom Planet in late 2020 (the year I got my switch) and shortly after beating the game I found that there was a sequel in development. So a sequel is in order, and it looks better than ever! With new and familiar faces among the dev team, this is bound to be a talent-filled game. They’re making what they want to make they’re, well, independent. However, GalaxyTrail’s made up their mind on what they want to make and achieve with Freedom Planet, and people who like it chose to be a part of the ride. They’re a much bigger company, and thus want to reach out to everyone for the most part as a result, they are always changing the formula of Sonic games to see what works and what doesn’t, they put out different types of games for different people in order to reach a wider audience. Now, Sega does too but not in the same way. And I realize now while writing this that GalaxyTrail feels so much more passionate about what they’ve created, they have a loving history with the coming franchise and they want to see it grow and succeed! This derived all the way from a passion project after all. It’s everything I hoped for! They realized it was time to move forward and they’re doing all right! I feel like with some indie games/companies I just have complete faith in what they do, (some examples being the Gunvolt and Shantae games) not just because I can see that they care so much but because they’re so much more open! I mean Sega has a Twitter just as much as GalaxyTrail, but they don’t use it in the same way. With all of this in mind, we feel that we are ready to bid farewell to nostalgia and create a sequel that will define Freedom Planet's identity as a franchise.” We've learned what works and what doesn't, what's fun and what's frustrating, what we should expand on and what we can afford to lose. “The original Freedom Planet was modeled as a tribute to Sega Genesis platform games. I discovered last year that GalaxyTrail -fortunately- saw this as well, as they had left the following quote on the Freedom Planet 2 website: I guess what I saw was that once this concept was fleshed out to be its own thing with its own ideas, then it would truly shine.

While playing this game, I knew that I liked it, but the full version that dodged me for a bit was “I like this, but I don't completely like how it’s being executed.” This, however, is (partly) what’s holding it back. (At least I think that’s the right way to say it)
There’s a reason I say Freedom Planet is as great as it is:įreedom Planet is a game that aims to recreate the feel of early genesis platformers whilst throwing in aspects of its own. I remember being drawn towards the game by the soundtrack, and that didn’t disappoint but honestly, I was usually more excited for the cutscenes than the gameplay.īUT. The cutscenes used mostly gameplay sprites, and after finishing all 3 story playthroughs, I haven't started anymore.
Freedom Planet was a great experience for me, but it left a lot to be desired. So, let’s get the negatives out of the way.
