In Freedom Planet 2 players will “return to the vibrant world” called “Avalice” and will “fight an ancient threat”. In the time since the players have seen the characters, the characters have honed “their signature abilities” which has made them “more formidable than ever before”. You can make use of “Liliac’s speed with her Dragon Boost, reach new heights with Carol’s Jump Disc or motorcycle, or take a more measured approach with Mila’s shield”.  And the new character Neera who will be a “playable character, can use her powerful Frost Arts to punish foes. According to the PlayStation Store website:

With 24 expertly designed stages, an ambitiously expanded Adventure mode, retro-but-refined 2D visuals, and the addition of the highly requested Boss Rush mode, Freedom Planet 2 is the indie darling grown up to become a true platforming power.

• More Ways to Play
  Explore Avalice in Adventure mode, meeting over 100 NPCs along the way. After saving the world, zoom straight into the action in Classic mode or challenge your fiercest foes in the new Boss Rush mode.
• Heroines to the Rescue
  Foe-turned-friend Neera joins the bombastic cast of all-female protagonists, each with their own unique abilities and perspective on a story reminiscent of a Saturday morning cartoon adventure.
• The Brave and the Bold
  Stage too hard? Too easy? Customize the difficulty with the new equippable item system that will let you change the rules of the game—try summoning a helpful shield orb at the start, transform all item boxes into bombs, or any of the numerous other ways to dial the challenge up or down.
• Fight Smarter, Live Longer
  The new Guard button lets you parry enemy attacks—sometimes with added benefits—and the new Revival system lets you risk an extra life for a chance to make a comeback and eke out that tough victory.

On Steam Freedom Planet 2 reviews were “overwhelmingly positive” while the “user score” for the game on Metacritic is 8.1 which is “generally favorable”. It’s clear that the players have been enjoying the game thus far since its release on PC. So players if you enjoyed the game on PC then get ready because the game will be available for gaming consoles in a couple of months.
