    While these issues can take the sheen off things at times, when we’re in the flow of a level, stunning pixel art whizzing by our retinas, cracking music filling our ears, and the thrill of the platforming keeping our palms busy, Freedom Planet 2 is a wonderful time. The levels are well designed, the boss encounters tough but fair, and there’s enough here to have people coming back for more, be it a new character or simply beating their best times.

    Freedom Planet 2 is a fast-paced old-school platformer that has a Sonic edge. I loved the intricate stage design and the garish colour palette. Additionally, the controls are tight, and the audio is disgustingly upbeat. However, it can be tough to keep on top of everything and this may put off some gamers.

    Freedom Planet 2 evokes so much of what makes a great platformer, but feels a little bloated in parts. Still, that doesn’t stop it being a thoroughly enjoyable thrill ride which is sure to delight fans of the genre.
