replayed with the More Reasonable Missions mod as well as Dolphin's Max 99 Lives code, the former barely affected my opinion and like with 06, idrc I used the latter. Also, if you're like me and upscale any game on Dolphin, be forewarned this has some bloom offsets if you're particularly annoyed by that
Like with Forces, I can't make a review of Shadow The Hedgehog due to feeling like I'm unable to add much to it, aside from going "this gets a little too much hate" and "this isn't that far removed from the series considering the buildup from the past few games", so here's three things instead
- As soon as I finished this game, a mod called Shadow The Hedgehog Reloaded released just two hours ago, and from the looks of it, it addresses a good chunk of my issues, albeit I'm rather weary of the "harder difficulty" part. Life just fuckin hates me...
- I still don't think the OST is all that good, far too one-note but I'll admit there's a fair bit more I found to like here than pass by. Cryptic Castle, Death Ruins, and Black Comet are pretty dang good, and GUN Fortress and Lost Impact - which, by the way, isn't THAT bad, The Doom is far worse - are honestly two of my all time favorite tunes in the franchise. Plus, even I can't deny that Never Turn Back is pretty fuckin hype, same with All Hail Shadow.
- I need to like, find a place to hide since I gave this a lower score than Forces. I am well aware this doesn't mean much to most, especially to me since I find both rather mid, but yea.

Two out of five? Have you played all 326 routes?
@FallenGrace Yea, I don't exactly blame people for not vibing with this at all but even then I've gone through, and continue to plan to, go through worse. I don't really do things objectively, just go by how I myself feel about something as a whole
@NoHobino_Hank I ain't ever doing that lmao, I did all 10 endings plus the Last Story. Honestly these stages are around the ballpark of my feelings on Forces in that they don't really utilize the split path options often (really wish more stages were like Air Fleet or Mad Matrix), but are made up by being at least a little fun to speedrun and plan out ahead of time.

completely forgot to add in a mod and Dolphin tweak used, as well as a note about upscaling it
