Stumbling through Freedom Planet

[davidn]

Here's Freedom Planet! After the darkness and tension of saving the planet in the UFO videos, I seriously needed to play something nice and fluffy. And this delivers a really nice and smooth platformer that succeeds in replicating and building on the mascot platformers of the Megadrive and early Playstation eras - it feels not quite like a Sonic fangame as I'd anticipated, but the kind of game that the Sonic series should have turned into instead of the unkempt polygonal heap that we got. But enough negativity, this is wonderful.

Stop that. Your other options are semi-infinite. Leave it alone if you dislike it that much.

yah, but only a few of them involves playing a game as a furry. I've already played Sonic, and I'm not playing Bubsy again.

. . anyway, I wasn't really all that upset with it. It was more like a comedic switcheroo. A lot of games let the player choose between a male or a female character. The dragon looked really feminine, so I assumed the other character was a male. Oh, they're both female? Oh. Uhmm, o-okay. .

Now I know how female gamers must feel.
