    A game that invokes nostalgia is one that we can all look fondly on, and FreezeMe incorporates some of its own style in, making this game feel like a new adventure. Perhaps too much Mario 64 can be felt in this game, which kind of holds the game back from going in to its own realm of fun, but it does not stop the player from experiencing a joyful adventure.

    FreezeME probably won’t go down as being one of the greatest games in eShop history, but I can say that considering this was almost completely created by just one guy, it would be a lie to say that I was completely let down.

    However while it’s rough around the edges, I liked it. It’s not a fantastic game, but it’s just the beginning of the collect-a-thon revival.

There are some gravity sections but it's a mistake to think this takes after Galaxy, there's a lot more focus on exploration. The in-game assets are decent but forgettable. The music doesn't annoy, which is a major plus, but does little to add to the experience. The world design is cluttered but with clear separations between points of interest. There's a lot of humor in the game, especially in notes scattered across the world, and the main character is a great female lead. Despite being the namesake of the game, the freeze mechanic doesn't come into play too often and is far from overbearing.

    Basically, go in with reasonable expectations and you'll find a fun but imperfect game that delivers on the Wii U experience, offers some new elements in an nostalgic format, and a kind of goofy charm that often doesn't make it into games anymore. All in all, I found it more enjoyable / less buggy than Sonic Lost World which was also a Wii U/PC exclusive in the genre.    … Full Review »

    Went in skeptical, but this is definitely a worthwhile 3d platformer. Its definately a homage to 3d platformers of the 90s-early 2000s, whileWent in skeptical, but this is definitely a worthwhile 3d platformer. Its definately a homage to 3d platformers of the 90s-early 2000s, while blending some new ideas from recent platformers. The 'freeze' through the camera, controlled by the gamepad requires some precise usage, but works to freeze things within your environment. Numerous bonus levels for those that collect enough tokens/items in game.… Full Review »

    I say ten out of ten, the music is good and it plays a lot like Mario Sunshine/64, a little buggy and the camera had the x axis wrong but II say ten out of ten, the music is good and it plays a lot like Mario Sunshine/64, a little buggy and the camera had the x axis wrong but I changed it via options and it is working perfectly… Full Review »
