100% in-game completion, 100% of achievements unlocked. A 2D action-platformer, Flynn: Son of Crimson doesn't do anything all that special, but it's very solid all-round, very enjoyable to play, with strong level design, nicely detailed 2D pixelart and a varied, catchy musical score. A decently-sized skill tree offers a meaningful sense of progression, though much of the variety of the game's combo system can readily be ignored without much impact on your ability to progress through the game. A basic magic system and choice of three weapons again serves to bring some variety to the combat, while making some allusions towards 'Metroidvania' style gameplay but never really committing to it.
