Y'know, the way everyone talks about this game online made me believe I'd despise this game for being some unplayable nightmare of a game. But idk I enjoyed it for what it was.
Don't get me wrong, quite a bit of this game still isn't good. All the squishing hazards suck, labyrinth zone sucks, the caterpillar enemies suck, the spikes suck, the bosses are boring, scrap brain zone mostly sucks.... Ok yeah Sonic 1 makes a lot of dumb mistakes. But it can still be an enjoyable time zooming through levels, using skill to find secrets and hidden paths, and trying to keep your rings together. I can't with a straight face say I really like this game, but I'd be lying if I said I hated it. How about this: I understand Sonic 1.
