This definitely is a game and it's kinda fun too. The mechanics can be fairly interesting and I feel it's the later stages that really start to push how creatively it can be used. With that said I think this game suffers a lot in terms of combat and unnecessary loads of enemies. Sometimes it feels like this game's main inspiration is a bad mega man x game but that isn't to say combat can't be fun. Some of the bosses I actually found fairly enjoyable...when they didn't insist on wasting time. That dragon boss is a prime example of a nothing encounter that just takes up time.I can see the appeal in the gameplay and maybe I'll like it more on a few level revisits.

I'd prefer to end there because this game's story falls into laughably bad and needlessly edgy with moments including torture and death that serve little to nothing but be there for shock value. Feels written by an edgy 14 year old and that's not great.

Freedom Planet overall, alright.
