This game is overall a solid ass time. I honestly am surprised by how negative the conversation around it has gotten because it's really quite enjoyable for the most part.

The levels are packed with interesting gimmicks and ideas, the controls are spot on, and the visuals are insanely charming (the main cast looks so good here).

My biggest gripe is honestly the music, which saddens me to say. There are some absolute BANGERS in here, but there are also a few too many certified stinkers for a Sonic soundtrack imo. Somebody please lock away Jun Senoue's synths and access to that Genesis drum sample forever please.

I understand some of the distaste for the bosses, as some of them really can drag and take far too long, but I also think there are some good ones and they didn't ruin my experience by any means.

This game is far from perfect but it's still a good 2D Sonic game! I liked it.
