I haven't played a game that is designed to be so aggressively against the player until this one. Sonic Superstars is honestly the worst game of 2023 for me and yet i went into this expecting absolutely nothing and i was still let down.
This game is filled to the brim with design flaws, glitches and especially audio-balancing issues. Seriously you will not find a single level without some sound-effects overlapping to deafening levels.
The boss battles are the worst thing ever with no exceptions and absolute pace-breakers.
The physics are still terrible like in all classic Sonic games where it's literally impossible to walk uphill from a standstill, and you run into enemies every 2 seconds because they don't want you to go fast in a game whose entire selling point is being a fast-paced sidescroller.
I don't get the "design philosophy" of classic Sonic at all. Just play Super Mario Bros. Wonder or Freedom Planet 1 & 2 instead, these are worth you time and money at least tenfold compared to this garbage.

This game launched three days before Mario Wonder, and was £20 more expensive... I also paid £23 for this and it dropped to £15 a week later on Amazon, so my opinions on this have been further negatively impacted.
Much of this game is completely on rails, and occasionally if you even touch the stick during these sections, you will die.
The bosses make me want to die.
The music makes me want to die.
(There is a handful of things I think are cool, but as a long suffering fan of Sonic, I'm once again reminded that good games are a complete anomaly... Lets see how they manage to fuck up the rerelease of Generations... sigh)
