July 2025

All The Goodness + The lovely art style is really shown off thanks to the many unique environments the game has to offer. From lush forests and poisonous bogs, to snow covered mountainsides and underwater caverns. There are many different levels to explore and it was a visual treat seeing them. The soundtrack that accompanies the game is a perfect match and I was even humming along to some of the tunes! + Combat can be a good time thanks to 3 weapons at your disposal. A sword, a giant axe, and even claws offer different options to slicing and dicing baddies. There is a skill tree that lets you unlock combos for the weapons, and while it isn't a deep move list, I can still appreciate that it's available. I want to give a shout-out to the bosses in this game. The BIG BADDIES are all unique visually and come prepared to fight with their own special set of attacks and I had fun going toe to toe with them! All The Meh Things.. - Getting to the skill tree and finding more weapons takes time, and I imagine it will definitely frustrate some people that the pace starts off so slow. - The story isn't great. It's fairly generic and it never truly does anything that makes it worthwhile. There is enough to keep the player moving forward to the conclusion but you won't be on the edge of your seat at the end... Final Thoughts I had a lot of fun playing through this game. There are some minor annoyances with pacing and a story that doesn't offer much but with a variety of levels that showcase the great visuals and boss fights that are really fun those problems aren't a big issue. Flynn: Son of Crimson doesn't overstay it's welcome and while it is visiting there is a good time to be had! ⭐⭐⭐✨/5 (3.5/5)

April 2025

This is a fun, side scrolling, goal oriented game. just difficult enough with a unique back story to keep you hooked until the last boss. Kind of wish the game had a higher difficulty setting though.

Pretty good for what it is. Short little action adventure with very little to no filler going on. Would definitely recommend on sale if you're looking for a quick little action game to scratch an itch.

Dec. 2024

I confess I didn’t know how this game ended up in my backlog. I was searching my library for a short game to play when I saw it. I then made a quick search for it on howlongtobeat.com and decided this game could be what I was looking for. Well, not quite. It is not bad enough that I wouldn’t recommend, but not great either. The combat is somewhat interesting, but even with good ideas its pace felt repetitive. Most of the bosses were a bit challenging and I liked them. The story is a bit interesting too. All in all, I think this game is worth if you buy it on a sale. It has been 50% off on various occasions, so don’t buy it at full price.

Sept. 2024

7.5/10 Played with controller This is a rather linear but enjoyable 2d game. Overall, the game experience is enjoyable and feels like a good introductory game to the gaming hobby. My only real issue deals with the story of the world and it's characters. Something feels like it's missing. Maybe more detail behind the background of things to draw the player in.... Either way like I said. I find this to be a good introductory game. Definitely worth playing once if you have some time to kill.
