Despite spending almost two hours on the final boss I didn't hate this game. Obviously nowhere on the same level as mania but It's distinct enough from Sonic 4 (mostly), and there's some levels with semi interesting elements. I'd recommend playing sonic 3d blast saturn music over certain levels though.
If sonic 4 was an unrelated standalone mobile game (like how it was apparently meant to) and this came out in 2013-14 after Generations it would have probably fared alot better. Will my score change should I play the trip and last stories? Maybe, but for now I can sleep easy knowing I waited for a price drop and had two gift cards with enough left to reduce the price down to a euro.
EDIT FROM A FEW HOURS LATER: Lowering my score by half a star because Trip sucks
