    This is a great game, very colorful, great music, great graphics (esp if you're an SNES/Genesis gamer at heart) and a neat story to go with it, if you please. It's a Limited Run Games release so you know it's good.

    This was a complete blind buy for me. I saw it sitting on the shelf and thought i would give it a try. I was suprised to find out that it plays a lot like how a classic sonic the hedgehog game would. It is fun, fast, and has some amazing levels. I would recommend it to most classic sonic fans.

    a solid indie platformer that plays like the old sonic games. smooth controls, catchy music, and fun characters kept me satisfied. bosses were cruel at times, though, and the story really drags at some points. otherwise, highly recommended.

    What started out as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan game eventually morphed into one of the best indie games ever made. In a lot of ways it feels like a next generation (see Saturn era) 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game we never got. You get up to 3 unique playable characters, 2 variations on the main story and if you don't want to play the surprisingly deep story a straight up old school stage by stage variation. Highly recommended.

    Limited Run has done it again by bringing the all time greatest Sonic The Hedgehog "clone" to the Nintendo Switch. This is a fast, frantic and fun flowing game. You will not be dissapointed if you are fans of the 16-bit era of gaming!

    Freedom Planet is definitely one of the better titles published by Limited Run Games, and a treat to own physically. A lot of influence from older Sonic the Hedgehog titles, though a bit easier in comparison as the older sonic games can be a bit tough for platformer if you actually plan to maintain speed. Nice throwback style title.

    A Wii U classic released physically on the Switch!

    Back when I played this game on the Wii U, I really liked it. The fact that this game was released by Limited Run Games made it clear that I had to have it. It came with a nifty little instruction booklet just like how Nintendo used to bundle with their games. It's too bad I should've waited for ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, but at least I got that on the Switch. I WILL however, pre-order the GBC Repro Cartridge of the original Shantae from LRG.
