A superior sequel in pretty much every way. Freedom Planet 2 improves upon every aspect of its predecessor, be it level design, bosses, story, content, controls, difficulty, visuals, you name it!
I do prefer the overall story of the first game but replaying it recently made me realize just how inconsistent the pacing and tone of it all is. In one scene it's very brutal and serious, and in the next all is well with no worries whatsoever. After some levels you get bombarded with cutscene after cutscene, going on for 10 minutes at times.
The sequel does a much better job at this, therefore earning a full on 5 star rating compared to Freedom Planet 1.
