Lazy. Lazy as hell. Some genuinely good ideas for the setting and gameplay concept buried deep, deep, deep, deep beneath the ultra shallow executions and the hyper short stages. The Avatar is fun to customize and see in action, but just not that fun to play since the game never EVER challenges the player to see what they can overcome, and I think it's partially because of the differences in all the Avatar races and weapons that the devs would need to consider. Classic Sonic is a horrible waste of programming that wasn't fun to play and was honestly completely redundant given the release of Sonic Mania in the same year. One of the worst Sonic games ever made despite funnily enough being one of the most polished and least buggy. Those and the core concepts of rebellion and settings I actually unironically enjoy saving this from being at the bottom of my barrel of least favorite Sonic games. Don't play this unless you can find it very cheap and it's only like 3-4 hours long, maybe 6-8 if going for 100% completion.
