Initial hype from the new ending makes me want to put a fucking 10/10 and it is the solely reason that this is above 2.5 stars. The rest is messy and really badly designed, game makes you feel free with upgrades such as tornado or gliding but constantly makes you feel left out for not doing the courses of each character.
Really enjoyable especially for fans that miss playing as other characters but only for some first moments until the magic is worn down by just seeing how much everything is scattered around and how tedious it is to do certain things
Also final trial is bullshit af thinking about it while writing this made me lower the final score omfg.
Really really love Sonic, the final fight is kinda weird but really cool to watch, the music is perfect as always, and everything feels so special and well driven, very happy in that regard specially thinking how bad the original ending was. Kinda disappointing that I cannot enjoy the game itself more, please let this be a starting point for how bosses in Sonic must be and what not to repeat for next games.
