One of my 3 favorite games of all time, and easily the best Sonic game of all time in my opinion.
I've been playing this since i was like, 10 or something, back when Vista was the current Windows OS... so I admit, I'm ridiculously biased:
The game perfectly translates 2D sonic into a 3D space, the bright colorful world with simpler 3D graphics makes everything look beautiful and charming. The music isn't the best I've ever heard, but it's fine and works well!
Controls feel great. Your characters move fast, but are also easy to steer, so turning corners and rounding obstacles won't be difficult. On top of that, since it's in 3D, you can see hazards coming from a mile away and adjust. But at the same time, exploration and free movement around the level is possible and incentivized, to find items, medals, and access to special stages.
The mods and fan made characters/levels are insaneeeeee. Especially if you're open to older versions of the game: You have an insane backlog to try. But if you don't care, the main campaign is a fun level-based romp with plenty of platforming and running to do.
The way vertical camera movement works is odd and not the best, but you don't really need it to be. Left-Right camera movement is perfect and will get you through the levels just fine.
I could write an essay on this game, I genuinely love the hell out of it.
It can run on a potato. it's a game that's been available since like, almost 20 years ago . You have nooooo excuse. Try it!
