Played the whole thing in one sitting and I gotta say,
this is the epidemy of mid
ik that slang loses more and more meaning as life goes on but what i mean by that is this had so much promise and good ideas in it
And then the result is something that feels like a budget prototype version of what couldve been

why does Gadget zip around so fucking quick all the time
Why is super sonic DLC
why is the little sonic in this game after coming off of one of the best 2d platformers of all time, i get there was crystal ruby set up there too but what the hell he adds nothing to the narrative except maybe a walking comfort-therapy to Tails?

And this plot kinda dunks, I dont think its the worst video game plot ive ever read though because it IS cohesive.. its just mediocre

Lastly, I think despite all the obvious gripes with this game that there are genuinely good levels in this game thatre fun
And graphically this game looks REALLY good
soundtrack is an easy win as usual with this franchise
And i enjoyed how Gadget could light-speed dash with one of the wisp tools i just fucking wish you could do that NORMALLY during the ga- (inhale positives, positives.)

exhale
Im being for real though, this probably isnt even the worst sonic game ever made but the biggest fumbled bag ever. Infinite is a genuinely cool character tho
And i never got why he spared Sonic
who gains from doing that like what
And why did he get whisked away.....

And then it hit me with the recent Sonic Frontiers news.. I think because Sonic Frontiers is going to touch on the no-space and the last of the crystal ruby saga (yes thats what im calling it because Mania, Forces and now Frontiers all seem like theyll be connected. but im not 100%)

But....yeah.......... also nobody shuts the fuck up in this game like why does Vector have more speaking lines in this game than he does in Sonic Heroes and Shadow The Hedgehog combined ??? AND U CANT EVEN P L A Y AS HIMMMM ARGHHHH

tldr; Is it good? Uh, not really no. , but i was at the very least laughing and having fun most of the time
So you can honestly do worse for a platformer to pick up and play
