FreezeME

It seems harsh but Freeze Me is ironically dull, repetitive beyond repute, as well as clunky in both camera movement and basic character manoeuvring. I genuinely hope that the Barcelona-based developer takes the criticism onboard to go back to the drawing board with simple, satisfying gameplay. For now, there’s little to recommend.

About

FreezeME is a A 3D platformer in the style of the 90s-era but wait there is a twist! The main character “R” has one special tool – a camera around her neck. This camera allows her to literally freeze the objects she photographs.

  • FreezeME is a charming 3D platformer inspired by classics like Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Mario Galaxy, with colorful and well-designed worlds offering a variety of collectibles and challenges.
  • The unique freeze camera mechanic adds a novel gameplay element that encourages creative puzzle-solving and platforming.
  • The game has a nostalgic feel with good soundtrack and art style, appealing especially to fans of old-school 3D platformers and collectors.
  • Controls are often described as clunky, stiff, or unresponsive, making precise platforming and movement frustrating at times.
  • The camera system is problematic, with awkward automatic adjustments, poor angles, and difficulty in manual control leading to player frustration.
  • The game contains various bugs, glitches, and design issues such as repetitive music, limited enemy variety, short length, and some poorly implemented level and boss designs.
  • music
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game generally receives mixed reviews, with many praising its nostalgic, authentic, and fitting soundtrack that captures the game's atmosphere well. However, several users find the music repetitive, generic, or forgettable, with a few describing it as low quality or even unpleasant. Overall, while some appreciate the soundtrack's charm and style, others feel it lacks memorability and variety.

    • “The soundtrack is very bright and colorful; I'm fondly reminded of Grant Kirkhope's Banjo Kazooie effort and Koji Kondo's Super Mario 64 score.”
    • “The music feels very authentic, and does a very good job at sounding like the soundtracks of games you played in the good ol' days.”
    • “Solid gameplay, colourful worlds, and awesome soundtrack that do a great job at capturing the atmosphere the game was looking to replicate.”
    • “The soundtrack is vomit-inducing.”
    • “The music is repetitive and gets annoying quickly.”
    • “The music is sickeningly generic.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a unique freezing mechanic that introduces clever puzzle and platforming challenges, offering a fresh twist on classic platformers. While controls and camera systems receive mixed feedback—some find them clunky or disorienting—overall, the gameplay is solid, accessible, and enjoyable with vibrant, well-designed levels. However, the novelty may wear off for some, leading to occasional feelings of repetitiveness or lack of inspiration.

    • “I've beaten the main game (final boss) and still have yet to 100% everything but so far I've put in about 20 hours of some pretty solid gameplay.”
    • “Besides clinging to platforms, the gameplay is pretty fun and both the general platforming and the camera mechanic lead to unique challenges.”
    • “The developers succeeded in making an old-fashioned platformer with a new mechanic that lets you freeze moving objects and use them to your advantage, and this game uses this mechanic really well and in clever ways.”
    • “The gravity mechanic and the horrible camera left me feeling sick and made me not want to 100% the game.”
    • “All movement animations are too long or stale, making the gameplay feel uninspiring.”
    • “The camera mechanic doesn't allow a first-person view for some reason.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are colorful, vibrant, and feature a charming, cartoony art style reminiscent of classic Nintendo titles, appealing to a wide audience. While visually pleasant and fitting its platformer genre, the graphics are generally regarded as simple and somewhat outdated. However, technical issues and bugs, particularly with fullscreen mode, detract from the overall visual experience.

    • “The graphics and worlds look vibrant and cute.”
    • “As with the best Nintendo games, Freezeme has a timeless age-spanning quality to it - it appeals to and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike due to its bright, joyful visuals and audio, accessibility, and pure, refined gameplay mechanisms.”
    • “As previously noted, the artwork of the game is quite enjoyable with bright, cartoony colors.”
    • “Graphical issues aside, the game bugs the heck out if you put it in full screen on a RX580 after a driver update; should be fixed.”
    • “Graphics are outdated, but the flair covers this downside.”
    • “Way too buggy and lags too much even on the lowest graphical setting.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is simple and generic, with a shorter length compared to similar games, and is not a primary draw for players. While quests offer fun and some challenge, the narrative and main character lack depth, with minimal guidance provided during missions. Overall, players enjoy the gameplay despite the story's simplicity and occasional control issues.

    • “Most quests are fun and a little challenging.”
    • “Along with the main objectives, there are small fun quests from NPCs.”
    • “Story is way shorter than any 3D Mario game (but long enough for the price ;-)).”
    • “The main character doesn't even have a name, and the story is something generic like a dog being kidnapped.”
    • “The intro sequence in each map rarely explains where you even have to go, so it's incredibly hard to do some missions if you haven't played the map before.”
    • “The main character, story, game gimmick, and visual design all feel a bit weak.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game shows potential but is currently hindered by frequent minor glitches, physics issues, and significant lag even on low settings. While these stability problems are not game-breaking for most, they noticeably impact the overall experience.

    • “What I would like to say is even though I'm rating this game negatively, there is potential here, but right now it's just way too buggy and lags too much even on the lowest graphical setting.”
    • “There are physics glitches, including you 'wall sliding' down the air above a platform you're trying to grab the lip of.”
    • “Minor glitches occur here and there, but nothing game breaking.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect tedious and annoying, suggesting it may be intentionally designed that way but detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Perhaps this is intentional, but I found it both tedious and annoying.”
    • “It's tedious to use them just to register them and can be misleading.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is generally appreciated for its fun and clever moments, including playful nods to classics like Super Mario 64, even though other aspects like controls and performance may detract from the overall experience.

    • “It's funny though, so it gets points for that.”
    • “The humor may be fun.”
    • “One level gives a not-so-subtle but funny nod to Super Mario 64.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers only a minimal level of replayability, with users expressing some debate over how much it truly adds to the experience.

  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is poor, requiring manual adjustments and still delivering subpar performance even on high-end hardware. Users find it frustrating that the game struggles to run smoothly despite its seemingly simple graphics.

  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users provided minimal feedback on "character development," primarily focusing on character design rather than narrative growth or complexity.

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization is well-balanced and respectful, avoiding aggressive tactics common in many games, and reflects a thoughtful approach that supports the game's popularity without exploiting players.

  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is effectively captured through solid gameplay, vibrant and colorful worlds, and an impressive soundtrack that enhances the overall experience.

    • “Solid gameplay, colorful worlds, and an awesome soundtrack that do a great job at capturing the atmosphere the game was looking to replicate.”
