I was never able to get into 2D Sonic as a kid because of how much they frustrated me at the time, so I wasn’t expecting to get into this, but lo and behold it really does deserve the hype Sonic fans heap on it. This and Generations are easily the best Sonic games of the last decade. (Though the fact that both rely so much on nostalgia is probably telling about the state this franchise is in creatively)

At this point they should just let the fans make all the games.
