This is a very complicated game to talk about or give a score based on just numbers.
One one side, this game did and tried so many things which were never made after. It is also a symbol of now gone "Adventure era" universe, which lots of people love above whatever SEGA is doing now.
On the other hand, this game was and still is plagued with lots of core mechanics and engine problems which makes it feel and play like total jank, like an early 00s fan total conversion mod rather than a competently made big 3d platforming/adventuring video game.
Nice music, awesome atmopshere, diverse gameplay and memorable levels. Bad camera, not perfect collision detection, problematic implementation of moveset, some unpolished elements.
In addition to that, again bad translation and not cutscene re-sync for eng dub, play it on english. Play on Japan voice acting and if you are on pc - with re-translation mod.
In the end - nice experience if you want sonic from the era when he was together with humans in semi-realistic sci-fi world from 00s, with more free movement and with actual chao garden. But be ready for unexpected deathes and sometimes unfair challenge.
