  • Summary: Flynn, a young pirate, decides to begin a perilous quest in search for the most valuable of treasures: Captain Freckles' Sword. But, to his surprise, the sword is possessed by the old captain's spirit. Now both of them will have to face the dangers of an island full of secrets and the curseFlynn, a young pirate, decides to begin a perilous quest in search for the most valuable of treasures: Captain Freckles' Sword. But, to his surprise, the sword is possessed by the old captain's spirit. Now both of them will have to face the dangers of an island full of secrets and the curse that rests upon the treasure.

    Flynn & Freckles is a third-person view, single player game with a great amount of exploration and thrilling platforming. As Flynn we'll need to deal with a series of puzzles, fight against loads of enemies and basically jump our way out most dangers in order to escape a mysterious and cursed island.

    F&F gives us the opportunity to enjoy, once again a 3D platformer game, oldschool 90's style with a renewed artistic approach and all of it revolved around a fantastic pirate setting.    … Expand

    Every time I could find something to enjoy in Flynn & Freckles it would quickly be overshadowed by a frustrating platforming sequence, mundane level design, or one of the many rage-inducing bugs that would ultimately result in my death. The character design and colorful world all have promise, but it's evident that something when wrong along the way.

    3D Platformers are my favorite video genre other than Telltale type games. But, this F&F is really just a mediocre experience.

    The Good:    3D Platformers are my favorite video genre other than Telltale type games. But, this F&F is really just a mediocre experience.

    The Good: Graphics are reminiscent of PS2-era. I know it's not for everyone but it's nostalgic for me at least. The story is standard for the genre.

    The Bad: The game is pretty mediocre and that's all that I would have to say about it besides a few things. It's pretty easy to get lost especially in one level where everything looks a like. Also, F&F is really glitchy, past the normal. I wouldn't call it broken I didn't really run into any on-screen problems besides being spawned in the wrong area after a death but whatever. And...

    The Ugly: The controls, my God. What should have been a mediocre platform has become some sort of awkward annoying experience that will stay with me. I know it's not my Dualshock 4 either as it works fine with other games, but there were times where the controls would be reverse just in the middle of playing like fine one second then reverse. There were also times where the jump had a 3 second delay but only sometimes. Other times, Flynn just wouldn't jump at all which was really annoying expecially during boss fights.

    This is just one of those games I stuck through it even though it really wasn't worth my time. Speaking of worth people's time, this game isn't... worth your time. I cannot recommend it even if the Bad and Ugly were away then it would just be forgettable.    … Expand
