    I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Flynn: Son of Crimson. It feels just different enough from its genre brethren with cool unlockable weapons and upgrades and a whole heckin’ dog to fight by your side. It’s nothing special, though, and despite a constant feeling of progression, the game’s basicness eventually wore on me. For fans of action platformers, though, it will be an enjoyable new addition.

    I don’t want to be too negative because you could do far worse than to spend some time with Flynn: Son of Crimson. This is a consistently adequate game that, now and then, can reach a bit above that level. It enters a truly crowded market for its genre, though. Game Pass subscribers may be tempted to check it out, and with the game being included, there’s no real cost to do so. The service is filled with more exciting titles in a similar vein, though—games like Celeste, Dead Cells, Katana Zero. When you have options like that, it becomes more difficult to recommend Flynn. If you’ve already played them and want more, though, then checking this one out could be worth your time.

    What a beautiful little 2D platformer, Flynn starts you off slow, adding new elements as you advance. Some games pack so many collectibles inWhat a beautiful little 2D platformer, Flynn starts you off slow, adding new elements as you advance. Some games pack so many collectibles in that they can detract from the core features and story. Flynn avoids this each collectible adds to your progression. Not the most compelling of stories ever but it is a fun and beautiful platformer.… Full Review »

    It's a fun platform game and a good looking one but really there is nothing special or new that will make it more than "good game"
