What players think
The recurring themes across 125 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It is well done with good voice acting and some funny bits but for me overall it was a bit boring.
"Freedom Finger" may not be the most difficult and complex Shmup out there (unless you play on hardest difficulty, good luck with that) and while the gameplay loop of shooting, fisting and grabbing ( ;) ) can get repetitive, it is nonetheless stellarly unique, has a superb soundtrack (that even directs the rhythm of the game) and a bonkers, fully narrated story with high production value and top-notch casting!
Reading the conversation between characters would easily grab a laugh from me and the loading screen quotes are really funny at times.
The rythm based visuals seems to dwindle away about half way through the game as well.
THE AESOP ROCK HAS NOT ONE BUT THREE SONGS FOR THIS GAME AS WELL AS OTHER BEATS LIKE THE PAUSE MENU.
Luckily, I have a controller connected so I could just play that way but if you do plan to 100% this game you might want to pick up a controller.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
