History YMMV / FreedomWars

** For some Godforsaken reason, Dionaea's [[HitboxDissonance hitboxes are freakishly wonky]], as even if you're a couple meters away, Dionaea's wing slam still hits you. If that wasn't enough, Dionaea's charge attack still hits you from behind. If that wasn't enough, breaking the whole wings by the shoulder still didn't remove the wing's hitbox, so now you have to deal with a wingless robot dragon with massive invisibile hitboxes where its wings used to be. May Percy Propa have mercy upon you if Dionaea stuns you before trampling you down like a truck with wings.

** While it may not be as fast as the Exodus above, the Gration is a very powerful drill-spear with slow yet absolutely devastating attacks on a focused area, making the spear ideal against Abductor legs, pods, and arms. ThisIsADrill indeed...

*** The Warriors From On High [[note especially the ones from Spec Ops 304 and Retribution 106]] are somehow even worse than regular Hostile Sinners, as not only do they have the same deadly aiming and weapons, they have Healing Thorns and loads of HP, which makes killing them an absolute chore if you didn't kill one Warrior fast enough while the other Warrior is charging up a healing AOE.

** The Creamy Screamy itself deserves a mention here too, as when it's upgraded to the Will'o path (or at least added with a minimum of 88 Will'o points), the Will'o damage from the web-gun is so destructive that it is not only strong against Abductor components, it makes the Peltatum class abductor and its Satanic Chains a COMPLETE CAKEWALK, as one web-shot on ANY part of the Chain will instantly knock it down on the ground, giving you and your friends free hits to kill the little bastard down!

* ThatOneSidequest: Anything that requires leg fibers to upgrade. They, unsurprisingly, require you to hack away at an Abductor's legs to gain. Except using a Thorn to attack yourself to a leg and hack away at it is ineffective due to being knocked off whenever it starts moving, while practically every gun that's efficient at damaging non-Abductors isn't going to help you at all. This forces you to use the inefficient dragdown (during which you ''will'' constantly be targeted) to get access to its legs without being trampled, and you're only given a short amount of time to damage it. Lastly, the legs never show any sign of being damaged, so you never have any idea on how much longer it'll take before you get it.

** Allied AI Sinners have extremely weak equipment, and those wielding short blades will obsessively and ineffectually try to sever abductor parts, [[StopHelpingMe effectively blocking you from clinging to whatever part they're on]].

* ItGetsBetter: The game starts out terrible with all the restrictions and padding. Once fast travel is unlocked, the bad parts become much less noticeable and frustrating.

** [[spoiler:The CODE7 exams qualify as this; namely [[FlunkyBoss Natalia]], as she brings along other human enemies to the fight.]]

* ThatOneBoss: The end boss, which is a Peltatum-class Abductor. It floats, so it's always out of reach of your melee weapons unless you can bind it or drag it down. It absorbs damage like a sponge. Worse of all, though, is the "Chains" it releases as its HP dwindles (see DemonicSpiders), which, combined with an attack that draws you and your squadmates together in the same location, spells disaster.
** The worst part, though? If you lose, you need to fight [[spoiler:Abel and Red Rage]] all over again before you can fight the Peltatum again.

* OlderThanTheyThink: When the Ibara Hookshot was revealed, ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' fans complained about how the game was ripping off ''Attack on Titan'', despite the fact that the game started development in 2012, ''before'' ''Attack on Titan'' was even a thing.

* SpiritualSuccessor: In a sense, to VideoGame/GravityRush. Both games were produced by Sony's Japan Studio. They also feature solid gameplay and well-designed mechanics that are bogged down by [[ItsShortSoItSucks the campaign's incredibly short length.]] They both also have plot hints that eventually don't lead to anything, [[SequelHook at least within the context of the original title,]] and they both have [[spoiler:NoEnding]].

* AntiClimaxBoss: [[spoiler: Abel and Red Rage. While Abel does have a unique moveset, he can be killed very easily by shooting him while backpeddling just like every other run of the mill melee sinner, and Red Rage is functionally identical to any other All-Purpose Biped, save for being slightly more aggressive.]]

*** Then again, all such missions are stealth missions, so bringing any allies at all wouldn't be of much help. Rather, they'd just make things more difficult.
