The aforementioned character design really is fantastic, with the wonderfully detailed, brilliantly animated pixel art being especially impressive. It’s a fantastic homage to the series – the characters, level design, music and even bosses are hugely memorable. If it weren’t for the release of the most recent 2D Sonic game – 2017’s Sonic Mania – Freedom Planet, which first launched in 2014, would have been the best Sonic game in years. If that sounds like a negative, I don’t intend it to. Though initial impressions – from the lengthy, fully voice-acted intro sequence, which is presented in the same pixel art style as the full game – don’t seem to suggest that Freedom Planet is such a close approximation of the Sonic formula, once the game begins the similarities are incredibly obvious. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery if that’s the case, then Sonic the Hedgehog must be feeling incredibly flattered by Freedom Planet.
