Numerous people have told me since that these animation and juddering issues aren’t in the PC version, and in fact, when the Wii U version came out, finally, I was told they’d gone there too. What looks like Sonic and sounds like Sonic but is terrible (like Sonic is now, I suppose)? Freedom Planet! Awful animation, screen juddering everywhere and all hopes and dreams of a possibly good Sonic game (even though it isn’t Sonic) up in smoke. I think it's rated M in the US, so there's that to consider.Almost a year ago, I played the demo of Freedom Planet which was released with a million other Wii U demos as part of Nintendo’s E3 stuff. You play as one of the four horsemen, DEATH.
You go through dungeons and explore the overworld. It's a fast platformer.ĭarksiders II is a 3D action adventure somewhat like 3D Zelda games but with way more adult tone. For "prude" people it might contain too much "bikini-stuff", but for those who don't mind this is a hugely entertaining game.įreedom Planet reminds quite a bit of the old Sonic the Hedgehog games. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a cartoonish action adventure platformer. This is quite an expensive game on the Nintendo eShop so in terms of monetary value it might be a good pick. It's said to be best when played with two players as one player controls the spaceship movements and the other player uses the Gamepad to do the "spaceship simulation". Runbow is a multiplayer focused game where you run from start to finish and try to win your friends, and the color on the background makes the platforms either appear or disappear, or something like that.Īffordable Space Adventures is a space puzzle adventure game with a bit of "spaceship simulation" in the gameplay.
Swords & Soldiers II is a colourful and cartoonish "strategy" game with some "tower defense" type of gameplay.
