Critic Reviews
ZTGD
By Terrence JohnsonHaving never played the original, I can say that I enjoyed Freedom Planet 2 even if the combat annoyed me at times. The Sonic like speedy traversal of each level was a joy to complete, the real issues only crept up when combat was needed. While it was nice to have some advanced moves, given how fast FP2 plays; the combat kind of felt out of place. Floaty combat with the high speed makes the boss battles frustrating; If people can get around that, they will find that Freedom Planet 2 is a peek into Sega’s heyday, with a cheesy story and heroes that ‘gotta go fast’ if you are in the need for some Genesis vibes, take a trip to Freedom Planet 2.
GamingTrend
By David FlynnFreedom Planet 2 suffers from many of the same problems that plagued the original game, with the additional problem of having way too much combat, but remains a delightful speed platformer at its core and is worth running through for any fans of the genre.
Nintendo Blast
By Alan Murilo Pereira DuqueFreedom Planet 2 is a modern adventure with that special taste of the 16-bit era. Almost a decade after the release of the first title in the saga, we can finally meet Lilac and her companions again, and it is honestly difficult not to praise the quality of all the fundamental elements in this sequel, such as the immersive and responsive gameplay and the colorful and captivating presentation. Whether you are an enthusiast of 2D platform games with an emphasis on speed, or even a player who has been nostalgic for a while now, the GalaxyTrail game is easily recommended and the Nintendo Switch is a great way to experience it.
WayTooManyGames
By Oliver ShelldingWhile not a game that I can play for an exceptionally long time, Freedom Planet 2 has a charm and appeal that cannot be denied, and makes for a fantastic sequel to an ambitious original. Excessive exposition moments drag down the momentum, but you can jump right back in with surprising vigor.
