Freedom Planet

Don't go into this game expecting a Sonic the Hedgehog clone.
While Freedom Planet was originally a Sonic fan game, the physics and gameplay are completely different. So temper your expectations to avoid disappointment.

Freedom Planet is a great game that uses the best elements of classic platformers and turns them into an exciting adventure with unique characters and a vibrant world. The gameplay is dynamic, the levels are worked out with attention to detail, and the stylish pixel graphics and energetic soundtrack give the game a special atmosphere.
However, it is worth noting that the bosses in the game can be a real challenge. Their attacks sometimes seem too complicated and require quick reactions and precise actions. Overall, Freedom Planet is a great game for fans of the genre, but be prepared for the fact that it can seriously challenge your skills!

Great game. A Sonic game but more emphasis on combat but not losing any speed. Worth the cash.

As someone who, lo and behold, doesn't enjoy classic Sonic gameplay at all, this is my saving grace for a 2D platformer. Played it 3 times in a few days with the three characters, it's that good.

2D platformer HEAVILY based on sonic the hedgehog. characters have extra moves, and the scenery and music are unique and great to go through. highly recommend for any sonic fans. (steam version has controller issues. go to your controller settings ingame and map them to your gamepad before playing.)

The platforming, movement, and combat all feel really well-polished. It really took me back to the era of the old 2-D Sonic games. The story and characters might not be for everyone (I found it all pretty cute), but you owe it to yourself to at least try it for the gameplay.

I enjoyed it more than the 2D sonic games I have played back on the Genesis. 3 characters with different play styles was nice too, changed up each of the 3 playthroughs
