oops. i guess it's a buzzword in this topic now, but I got freedom planet last week for my birthday. and it's
that's the thing. it's "professional" though also "extremely depressing". Through playing this game, it feels like almost no one has voice acting experience in this game. unfortunately, when the annoying, "super cutesy" character is the best voice actor in the entire game...
that's really saying something about the quality of the game's voice acting.
I'd rather sit through Sonic Adventure's cutscenes than any of these...actually, I'd rather just do that. Thankfully, there's the Classic option which I've been playing through.
Given all the controversy in this topic (!!!!) it plays like different Sega games, but like...in parts. The general gameplay feels like a mashup of Sonic and Ristar, depending on who you're playing. There's the girl (the purple one...who's a dragon apparently? lol wut) who's all G2GFAST and there's Carol who has a little more emphasis on melee but can sometimes go fast (like Sonic but dumb)
And then there's the dog girl. Jesus I said it when I saw the trailer but the dog girl feels so slapdash. She's Ristar.
rip
Then later on in the game there's some levels that feel like Gunstar Heroes
But, in terms of the "Sonic clone" feel that the trailer gives off - after just playing the first stage through, it...really isn't a clone at all. In fact, with this game far exceeded my expectations ("oh this is a clone at all!").
It's like saying Shovel Knight is a Ducktales clone because the protagonist's actions in the trailer echo Scrooge McDuck's.
Actually this game is pretty much Shovel Knight, but instead of paying homage to Nintendo games it pays homage to Sega games.
Sure, there's PORTIONS which feel like a Sonic game, but the level maps are so well thought-out and packed with items and other goodies that you're pretty much forced to stop and explore at some point, especially if you're a completionist. If anything, I could describe the purple dragon running person as basically Shadow in Sonic 1 Megamix.
...Speaking of levels and exploration, is it normal that it takes me 15 minutes to complete a level? I feel with like, the Genesis game vibe that that's just way too long to be a stage ):

they did have a sharp deadline to reach, unfortunately.
also, "sounds like the most professional voice they have"
HAHAHA
HA
HAAA FUCK SHE'S SO OBNOXIOUS
does anybody out there know how to voice child characters without making them super squeaky and bouncing up to high pitches and back all the time because i've never heard a single child who speaks that way
"super cutesy" tends to not actually be that cute
