I really don't wanna be harsh on it because it's a free update and they certainly didn't have to release it for free. But at the same time, this is a melting pot of good ideas and horrid execution, and it just makes me wish they either waited longer to release this or charged a sum for it if it meant it was of better quality.

The new characters don't feel that good to play and feel haphazardly thrown together, and in fact, every piece of jank and bad design that was present in the base game is here but tenfold.

Some of the other parts in the game like the stupid towers and unreasonably difficult trials are just another wrench thrown in the gears when they're designed in such an absurdly obtuse way that it feels downright unfair and punishing.

You don't build a precision platformer section in a game that doesn't have precision platformer controls.
Also for everyone saying first tower isn't hard - good job, you just outed yourself to all that you're playing on the easiest difficulty or you're a sweat that has nothing better to do with their time. You'll get your chocolate coin medal in the post.

I gave up because I have better games to be playing but I'm sad, because I had high hopes for this DLC, and the way in which Frontiers took Sonic as a whole. I just wish this was a better effort.
