Freedom Planet
Ein kurzes Spiel mit einem Megageilen Soundtrack, ner witzigen Story und eigentlich guten Gameplay verpackt in Freedom Planet! Galaxy Trail hatat sehr viel Richtig gemacht. Das Gameplay kann man sich in etwa so wie Sonic vorstellen allerdings mMn. noch in besser! Die Charaktere lassen sich im vergleich zu Sonic (der wenn er rennt ja öfters noch ein paar pixels gerne durchrutscht) besser steuern. Ihr habt zudem die Möglichkeit mehrere Charaktere zu spielen, dadurch ist natürlich Wiederspielpotential geboten. Ich hab das Game schon seit Wii U Zeiten, es aber nie wirklich zuende gespielt, bis ich mir es dann nochmal auf der Switch gekauft hab und es heute beendet hab. Negativ find ich manchmal den Schwierigkeitsgrad besonders bei den Bossen. Wenn euch Eggman immer zu lasch war, probiert das hier mal, das ist echt nicht ohne! Klar alle Bossfights sind gut inszeniert, aber man sieht auch an meinen Toden im Game, dass das nicht ohne war. Klar mag das jeder anders sehen, aber besonders der Endboss macht seinem Namen alle Ehre!! Jedenfalls im Allgemeinen fand ich Freedom Planet sehr Unterhaltsam. Man kann jetzt noch die anderen Wege erkunden mit den anderen Charakteren wenn man will aber fürs erste Reichts. Ich freu mich auf Teil 2

+3 Playable Characters in the main story mode (4th character in Time attack)
+Plays like old school 2D sonic games with additional gameplay mechanics such as attacks and special moves. Also a bit of like Mega Man with the way enemies attack, health meter, etc
+Each character has a unique PoV in their adventure mode
+Visuals done in the same like of Sega Genesis era games and Pixel art animations are nicely done
+3 modes to play with - Adventure (With cutscenes), Classic (no cutscenes, straight to the game), and Time Attack (time based levels)
+Unlockables such as art work, music and sound effects which can be unlocked through finding cards throughout stages (would require to play the game multiple times which helps replay value)
+Different difficulty modes such as Casual, Easy, Normal and Hard all varying based on damage, health, etc

Cons
-Some lines and voice acting are cheesy or sound bad
-At some points in the game there are parts where the voice acting during cutscenes is low when music is playing
