WTMG's Leo Faria: "The game's heart and soul are in the right place, but Flynn & Freckles is just a glitchy and boring mess that's impossible to recommend at this state."
Erickson: Has anyone ever wondered what pirates actually do when they’re not searching for treasure? I suppose when your entire life revolves around pillaging and murdering, there isn’t much room for other things like hobbies. Pirates also need to know how to run a ship practically by themselves. Man, sea fearing folk have it rough.
Carl Williams writes, "Some would say 3D action adventures like Flynn & Freckles are not “retro” enough to be covered. While on one hand, I agree, on the other, I feel this genre is subjective – a moving target so to speak. There has to be something more to the game than just the engine that powers it to get me to write it up. Flynn & Freckles have that “something” that makes me think other retro gaming fans would like it. Besides, we don’t get enough pirate games. With that said, here we are."
Rob Pitt writes: Avast ye landlubbers – today I be lookin’ at Flynn & Freckles from the small indie team at Rookie Hero Games, Yarrrr shiver me timbers! Ahem, sorry about that – Flynn & Freckles is yet another game which has been helped via the PS Talents team in their Madrid Games Camp. The team are really small, made up of four members who met as students back in 2015 and are now working towards a successful launch of their first title. The game is a throwback to old 3D platforming like A Hat in Time and Yooka-Laylee, with its colourful environments, cute characters, and frustrating platforming.
