Freedom Planet is a game that I'm weirdly passionate about. There is a lot of things that undeniably suck, like the absurdly long cutscenes between the levels (I personally think the story itself is overhated, its the amount of the time you spend in these cutscenes that makes it worse), the complete lack of iframes making laser attacks remove half of your health, the obnoxious enemy spam starting from Battle Glacier and playing as Milla in general. However this game just boats such wonderful vibes with very memorable levels like Fortune Night or Jade Creek that I replay constantly. Mastery of Lilac's movement and levels just feels so stupidly good and don't get me started on the soundtrack, might be my favourite in an indie platformer period.
FP1 is definitely not a game that is gonna click with everyone as it takes getting used to, but damn it I like it.
