genuinely the most mid game i've ever played and i mean that so much. The overhyping I saw for this made me feel like I was crazy. Objectively bad and corny story, open hollow feeling environments, widely forgettable music and the new character, sage, feels like shes in the wrong franchise. I don't want to listen to sonic characters have personal issues and drama, I legit burst out laughing when I heard tails say the line "Sonic, am I a burden?" like what the fuck is that. Sonic the hedgehog saves defenseless woodland creatures from being turned into robots and eats chili dogs, he doesn't have depression and uncover the Secret of the Emeralds. Part of Shadow's charm as a character is his overly edgy and complicated story in contrast to how happy go lucky everyone is, thats why he still works. Why did they make everyone else shadow, its ridiculous. Silver fails as a character because he also has an overly edgy backstory but he doesn't have the swagger shadow has, making him ultimately unmemorable. Thinking about this game makes me mad and playing it makes me bored. I had this clocked at 2 1/2 before writing it and remembering how stupid the story is made me drop a star.
