The original Sonic Adventure is a game that I hold near and dear to my heart. I honestly never thought I would enjoy its sequel more, having tried it several times via emulators and its various ports and never being able to bring myself to finish it. That was, until I finished replaying Adventure 1 on Dreamcast and decided to give this game one more try on original hardware. I'm not sure if it's because I was playing on the console it was designed for but I think I've finally seen the light.

Sonic Adventure 2 is a massive improvement over its predecessor in almost every way. The biggest standout for me is this game's story which is by far my favorite in the entire series. The soundtrack is incredible even by Sonic standards. Live and Learn is an unrelenting banger and one of the greatest main themes of all time. This game truly feels like the end of an era, not just for Sonic but for the Dreamcast as a whole. The best 3D Sonic game. Peak fiction.

Sayonara, Sonic Adventure 2.
