Jun 19, 2026FZ: Formation Z successfully modernizes a forgotten classic while staying true to its original spirit. Its fun transformation mechanics, satisfying action, and replayability shine, though outdated design choices like the lack of saving and limited progression variety make it feel stuck between nostalgia and modern expectations.

Jun 1, 2026FZ: Formation Z is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up and run-and-gun game, making it an interesting combination of genres that work fairly well but doesn't feel fully utilized. The game is very short though, and while it's designed around replayability I didn't feel a reason to keep playing after a couple runs. While I still recommend giving a shot, I only see fans of the genre sticking with it.
