I really wanted to like Flynn: Son of Crimson, but I feel like it fails on some key elements, and it really brings the experience down.I really wanted to like Flynn: Son of Crimson, but I feel like it fails on some key elements, and it really brings the experience down.First off, the game looks wonderful. It has some of the best spritework around, characters and enemies look great and are animated very well. Locales and backgrounds are full of details, and the whole package looks fantastic. The music is pretty good. All around, the presentation is strong.There's some decent variety in both looks and level design, and levels all feel unique. There are a few annoying levels here and there, but for the most part it's solid. One level is really annoying because of some other mechanics, so I'll get back to that one later.The story? Well, it's not great, but it's not a deal breaker. A lot of "twists" are revealed in text dumps in a late game level, and it feels kinda cheap. I just didn't have any attachments going in, so at the reveals I just kinda went "meh".The action is where stuff kinda went south for me. The game controls well, but a few things annoy me. Grabbing ledges works really well, but climbing up requires the jump button and letting go uses the down button. It just always felt strange. Moving while hanging on ropes is really slow and usually boring. The general battle mechanics also don't do it for me at all. I know it's all nitpick, but it feels like death by a thousand cuts. Attacking just didn't feel good to me. It seemed kinda slow and laggy. Attacking while jumping stops the character mid-air, which seems really weird. Basic enemies take too many hits to kill. Practically all enemies act the same and can be defeated using the same tactic; roll when they're about to attack and hit them from behind. The only difference being the number of rolls it takes to kill them. With many enemies around, the roll cooldown is pretty frustrating. The long range attack is slow, its range is too short, and the cooldown before moving is too long. There's a "Devil Trigger" mode that's so OP that there isn't any point in using the meter for other attacks.  All enemies attack for the same amount of damage: 1 HP. It doesn't matter if it's a tiny bee stinging you, or a huge sentient armour stabbing you with a spear. 1 HP.The really bad level I mentioned earlier has to do with the long range attack. Certain obstacles can be interacted with using an elementally charged long-range attack. Water blocks can be frozen to use as steps, torches can be lit, certain enemies can be stunned with lightning. But changing elements and charging the long range attack are finicky and slow. For that one terrible level, I needed to constantly swap between elements to hit enemies and freeze ice blocks and then light torches to see what I was supposed to do next. It was the slowest, most boring level in the game. It's not challenging, it's just slow. The game has a pretty brisk pace otherwise, and all of a sudden you gotta stop every second platform to swap elements, charge, shoot, swap again, charge, shoot, continue. I don't understand how this level got through testing.On the other hand, levels where the mountable dog runs around are a lot of fun. There should have been more of these.So yeah, Flynn... it could have been pretty good. There's hope for the devs, for sure. But this game falls very short of my expectations.

Flynn: Son of Crimson is a 2D platformer that initially comes off looking promising from its attractive interface and clean pixel graphics,Flynn: Son of Crimson is a 2D platformer that initially comes off looking promising from its attractive interface and clean pixel graphics, but quickly turns flat as the gameplay turns monotonous and linear within minutes and is only reinforced by an unengaging story.Due to the lack of an RPG aspect to the game, there is nothing convincing you to fight any of the enemies except for the compulsory ones. The areas are not provided with any mystique to promote exploration. There is not much to write home about as this game is one you'd want to complete as soon as possible once you've gotten a taste for it, assuming you're able to trudge through it. You experience everything the game has to offer within the first half-hour of the game.The boss fights are all right as a whole, and arguably the most meaningful element of the game, but some bosses like the Aquatic Voltknight are designed very, very poorly, and will cause you to regret ever bothering to play in the first place. The decision to respawn the character right next to a hole is also incredibly frustrating, as you constantly slip and fall in after it happens. The random corruptions of past completed stages which force you to go through them again is bit of a chore to go through as well.Overall, a forgettable experience that I wouldn't recommend even if you are a fan of platformers.

It is a linear 2D Action/Platformer (emphasis on the Action part) with a bit of exploration and only 1 unlockable movement skill.Combat is competent, but not excellent.* There is a dodge with invencibility frames you need to absolutely abuse in combat.* There is a healing bar that takes 1 second to use, so requires to find an opening in battle to use.* There is a special meter bar to use special attacks in the most demanding fights.* 3 different weapons. But not too much of a difference between them gameplay-wise.And that is pretty much it. It gets boring after a while: Just attack until the enemy flashes in white, then dodge behind him and keep attacking.You can beat 100% of the normal enemies like that. The game could have used a parry mechanic and some enemies using undodgeable/unblockable movements to mix things up.Final bosses are a bit better, they usually have more interesting patterns. But there are very few of them...Platforming is mediocre, but the game isn't focused on that anyways.Story and NPCs are terrible. No charm or traces of good writing whatsoever."Good but nothing special" just sums it up.

Don’t get me wrong, it might have the odd ‘scourge’ attacks, which are revamped levels up to the teeth with powerful monsters and dangerous threats, and a few unlockable wave-based combat trials (a stretch goal that was reached), but it really doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before. However, bringing it all together with a solid design, satisfying controls, and being the cherry-on-top nostalgia-fest that it is really seals the deal. A splendid example of the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

What a beautiful little 2D platformer, Flynn starts you off slow, adding new elements as you advance. Some games pack so many collectibles inWhat a beautiful little 2D platformer, Flynn starts you off slow, adding new elements as you advance. Some games pack so many collectibles in that they can detract from the core features and story. Flynn avoids this each collectible adds to your progression. Not the most compelling of stories ever but it is a fun and beautiful platformer.

Despite good execution Flynn is not very exciting. It’s simply a solid and quite fun but also very familiar and not memorable platformer that tells a story about a fantasy world invaded by hellish forces.

It's a fun platform game and a good looking one but really there is nothing special or new that will make it more than "good game"

Flynn: Son of Crimson isn’t a game that is going to revolutionize action platformers, but it’s a very solid entry into the genre that offers great combat mechanics, solid platforming, and beautiful pixel art to go along with it. This game is absolutely worth a look for fans of this style.

Flynn: Son of Crimson is a beautiful looking and great sounding platformer game is a must-play title that gives you a powerful and cute wolf companion. This title does not have an auto-save feature so keep that in mind.

I finished the game 101%. It was a good game but sometimes I got bored. Graphics and music are not bad. The game has an ordinary story. CombatI finished the game 101%. It was a good game but sometimes I got bored. Graphics and music are not bad. The game has an ordinary story. Combat and. Platforming is not bad but jumping and especially wall jumping could have been done better. Skill tree is not enough. And most skills are useless. Boss fights are good but easy because the fury skill is too strong. Overall it was a good game, I had a good time. But I wish it was a more diverse game.

Flynn: Son of Crimson is just a solid game. It has all the charm I would expect from these games, but also backs it all up with tight controls and some interesting combat mechanics. Thrown in some exploration and nice upgrades in for good measure, and you have yourself a great action platformer that any fan of Shovel Knight would enjoy.

Flynn: Son of Crimson is a deluxe hot chocolate. I just want to snuggle into an armchair and reward myself with a solid, unbroken couple of hours with my hands wrapped around it. It feels like a video game in the purest terms, a frothy adventure with little in the way of friction or annoyances. And it rewards your attention by being deep and rich.

It's kind of a disappointment. The game doesn't challenge you and turns to be boring in the mid/late game. The animations and the story could be better and the ending doesn't delivery a accomplish feeling, not to mention the 101% doesn't change anything and does not worth (although you can do it easily in about 8 hours). However, the game is smooth. Doesn't shows any crashes and bugs in my experience. Its more like a Donkey Kong game in a Zelda theme than a metroidvania. Perhaps this should be more a game for kids than a hardcore title a player should enjoy (like "Chasm", "Deaths Gambit" or "Blasphemous")

Trusty ol’ Game Pass does it again. Flynn: Son of Crimson is a joy to play, look and and listen to. It’s difficulty is nicely paced (even if the bosses can give us a good kicking), there’s more to explore than meets the eye, and Studio Thunderhorse keep the game moving brilliantly with new powers and abilities dished out frequently. Whether you’re into these kind of retro adventures or not, Flynn is well worth a look.

I don’t want to be too negative because you could do far worse than to spend some time with Flynn: Son of Crimson. This is a consistently adequate game that, now and then, can reach a bit above that level. It enters a truly crowded market for its genre, though. Game Pass subscribers may be tempted to check it out, and with the game being included, there’s no real cost to do so. The service is filled with more exciting titles in a similar vein, though—games like Celeste, Dead Cells, Katana Zero. When you have options like that, it becomes more difficult to recommend Flynn. If you’ve already played them and want more, though, then checking this one out could be worth your time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Flynn: Son of Crimson. It feels just different enough from its genre brethren with cool unlockable weapons and upgrades and a whole heckin’ dog to fight by your side. It’s nothing special, though, and despite a constant feeling of progression, the game’s basicness eventually wore on me. For fans of action platformers, though, it will be an enjoyable new addition.

All in all, Flynn: Son of Crimson is a fun and short adventure that’s pleasing to look at with a story that doesn’t get in its way. While it never quite hits the highs of Shovel Knight my time with it was pleasant, if a little too breezy at times. If you’re in need of a beautiful but short 2D adventure, spending an afternoon with your pal Dex to set the world right is an easy recommendation to make.

Short, but without an ounce of fat, Flynn: Son of Crimson is well worth a playthrough due to its excellent controls and great level design.
