Freedom Planet 2 Nintendo Switch Review 

It's been on Steam for over a year already. Late 2022 I think. It was the first game I played on my Steam Deck.

Pixel art games age the best in the whole industry it’s just timeless

I’ve played it on Steam, it IS amazing!

Above average sequels for Sonic and MegaMan X? Yoshis Island was cursed with having Arzest as game devs for the sequels, but Good-Feel made up for the next few games.

Or you could just call her by the alias "Spacey Batotelli." Yes, she did adopt a VTuber persona. She even got recognized by some of the big leagues such as Ouro Kronii, Gavis Bettel, and Machina X Flayon.

For me: Freedom Planet 1 -> *10/10 masterpiece.* Freedom Planet 2 -> *6/10 disappointment.* (Not gonna go in detail, but my reasons for why I disliked FP2 were mentioned in my Steam review on the store page for the game, if you are curious)

Hey fam. Wtf does that mean?

​@@TheInfinityMaster1no one cares enough to go to wherever your steam is to look for the review dude just paste it here lmao

@@TheInfinityMaster1 Tbh, half of your points in the review are VERY subjective, the other half is just skill issue

The levels are generally more focused around specific concepts and scale to the different characters better, but like FP1 I still think the game plays best as Lilac.

That is..quite the comparison XD

The literal founder is a VTuber now so you know.

I wish you were more specific cause that narrows it down to like 80% of the industry

That reminds me of how delighted I was to even hear that Morio Kishimoto (a director for Sonic Team) confirmed on Twitter that he did play _Spark the Electric Jester 3,_ and enjoyed it to the point of studying its game design philosophy! I just hope one day, the same can happen for _Freedom Planet 2,_ where someone like Morio Kishimoto or Takashi Iizuka can play and learn from it.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

How many game devs have a Team in their name that makes only one type of game and inspired games like these? Check yer IQs people.

There's some weird lower fps moments when the camera really zooms out and there's a ton of effects on screen, it feels like 30 fps down from 60, but as this barely ever happens it isn't much of an issue really

@@nazurin5982 Blame Nintendo for making the Switch 2 generations behind being 1080p instead of 4K. That's why the Switch port of popular games must sacrifice a few thing to ensure that it's optimization should be as stable as possible. Besides, this isn't like the disaster of Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Switch or Minecraft Switch.

I beg to differ. Freedom Planet 2 was a rushed game, lost alot of what the original established and a lot of things hadn't been added among other things. Plus, who keeps the True Ending behind collecting items that tells of a shoehorned romantic fan fiction that panders to the shippers? Sure, there is the war and genocide bits but personally, the shipping wasn't necessary.

​@@runezunn6655 Overall the story is a mess. Spoilers. It's not explained how Kingdom Stone was connected to Merga's prison (and why they didn't just execute her), what's the deal with Aaa and those flying balls that get released from non-Brevon enemies after defeat, why Merga even bothered with attack on Shang Tu, characters way frustrating with the whole "villain is racist but it may be justified because she experienced racism herself", how time capsules are even connected with true ending and why they even ended up in Battlesphere... Only Serpentine didn't disappoint, he was a joy every time he appeared on screen with his manic energy and loyalty to Brevon. The story of FP1 was leagues above FP2 despite cutscenes in FP1 being way too long. Overall I think FP2 is a fantastic game, but story is a letdown. Everything else is pure greatness.

@@Gnidel Mayor Zao and Serpentine stole the show undoubtedly. FP2 only made me despise Lilac but FP1 Lilac, maybe I was too harsh on her. Sure, some things like plot armor has protected Lilac, but still. Spade gets shafted again and blamed for all that is wrong with Lilac who acts like a victim which is extremely manipulative. I thought she joined the Scarves willingly to survive, not raised by them, because in FP1, Lilac left the Scarves eventually given things. For Carol as much as I like puns, she had kinda became annoying and less down-to-earth. I prefer FP1 Carol honestly because atleast she served as the reality check to Lilac in the first game. Milla did get some development which is good. I think she's changed the best out of the game. Neera's story is kinda of a mess. Like literally..HUH? Yeah, you can see why I prefer FP1 better over the sequel because so much of the sequel's story felt inconsistent and rushed. In fact, what even happened to cause the sequel to fumble so hard?

The people with no media literacy (cough cough, the mfers in these replies) have gotten to this game, lord help us.

Legend has it whenever a bad Sonic game is released, the gaps in Takashi's teeth widens a bit.

It's very easy to pick up and play, it's exactly that gameplay wise like the old genesis games 😊

It's probably RU-vid because I've made it a decent chunk through the game without any frame rate issues. The game "slows down" when bosses first appear and when you defeat bosses but that's a stylistic choice to give them some impact

I get you, I'm still very dissapointed river city girls 2 is somehow stuck on 30 fps for switch, come on it's a 2d brawler

It's been released on Steam for several months now, April 4th is just the release date for the console versions of the game. Personally, I waited to play the game until the Switch version released, since that's the system I have Freedom Planet 1 on.

Im gonna play this on my imaginary Steam Deck as well

Thanks for letting us know you have a Steam Deck 👍

@@twilighttiger2368 Months? Nah mate, more than a year at this point. Released September 2022 on Steam

I personally enjoy the first game as well and another thing, the sequel failed to deliver on so many things. Literal meaning of failing upwards, am I right?

I've read your review. I literally don't understand half of what you said

What did you not like about FP2 I wanna know? (I just don't want to look through steam reviews) I think it deserves higher than 6/10

And are they actually useful? I, personally, didn't find a good use for Lilac's wings, for example.
