The idea of an open-world collectathon is perfect for Sonic and his speed, and the writing was really solid as well. It's far from perfect, but it's definitely a massive improvement over the last couple of Sonic games. I was also surprised by how well it ran on the Switch, the only technical issues I had were graphical, which I didn’t really mind (I’m pretty sure they carry over into other versions of the game as well). Even though I'm honestly getting sick of open-world games, I had a good time with this.
