This game is fine, the people asspained about it are insane babies. Emphasis on "fine", it's just okay. I think that the siblings fucked up relationship is fairly well written, but most of the humor really didn't land for me. The execution of everything is a bit too edgy about it, and the jokes are pretty tryhard, but it's got enough charm and again the siblings horrible, horrible relationship is compelling enough and honesty kinda fun at times. None of it is portrayed as a good thing, and if you think it is you definitely haven't played it. I don't care that people have drawn a bunch of porn of them, people draw porn of everything and the people that do it usually have no actual investment in the thing in question. If they did, they wouldn't wanna touch Ashley with a 10 foot pole. How idiots online react to the game has nothing to do with the devs, and they shouldn't have been doxxed for it. They were absolutely right to mock you for being upset about there being(a very short and optional scene of) incest in their game, because you're a pussy.

There was a time I rated this 10/10 and as my favorite in the series, but replaying it took the shine off of it a bit. The plot is pretty bare bones, which sure the plot is always a bit wonky in these games and it's the characters you really care about, but this one's is so meandering and barely goes anywhere. I mean it literally goes somewhere, to another planet, and I still think learning about the technologically advanced but fallen world of Fodra is great, but it and the twists are the highlight of the plot and everything else was just waiting to get there. I liked all the Lamda stuff when I first played it, but I think it's a bit lackluster compared to all the other game's antagonists and their backstories. Asbel is also not nearly as good as I remember him being, maybe it's just because his arc isn't done very well. Well really, it's that the early stuff where group has fallen apart due to losing a friend isn't handled as well as I remember, which is probably due to my standards for that kind of thing in a game's story being upped by Omori. However, the characters, including Asbel, are all still really endearing and most of their arcs are well done(Malik's is a little rushed to say the least...), with the standouts for me still being Pascal, Hubert, and Sophie. The combat is absolutely fantastic, best in the series and has always made up for any shortcomings in the story department whereas it's usually the other way around. There's a ton of fun to be had, it's not as great as I remember it(which may be down to heightened standards), but it's still a great time and one of the best in the series for me. Wish they'd expanded on this combat system instead of, you know, not.
Gave up when I had to climb the first tower, I managed to get past the part where you cyloop on the tiny ass platform 2 times(fell off probably over 10), only to get fucked over by one of the other challenges both times. Didn't even make it halfway. I tried lowering Sonic's speed in the settings to make that part easier, which it did, but not enough. And I had to keep raising it back up to get to that part because it made me too slow for the first bits. I finished 100% completing the base game last night, I shouldn't be having this much god damn trouble.
Fuck this, Amy controls like shit, Knuckles controls like shit, Tails controls like shit, and these platforming challenges suck.
