Genuinely such an underrated title. The msuic, the themeing and the story are some of the best to come from Sonic but the controls are just so atrocious that it really drags down the game. I really hope this and Black Knight get remade at some point because they have so much potential in them.

The remake is alright, but it has several issues that make it significantly worse than the original. The worse soundtrack, the ways enemies work just feeling off and the significantly downgrade bosses, with the final boss somehow being the easiest of the 4, just makes me want to play the original over it.

This is how I played both HOTD 2 and 3 and it is certaintly the best way to play these games at home.
