I have a hard time figuring out how I feel about this game. I really want to like it, but it certainly has its flaws from mostly forgettable music and infuriating boss fights and oddly designed special/bonus stages. Not a fan of the blurry backgrounds, too (Playing on PS5, no option to toggle it off). However, the cast and physics feel great and having the original cast playable is always welcome. Trip is a cool addition to the cast, but I wish more was done with her. I think Arzest has potential for future Classic Sonic styled games. Not worth $60, $20 - $30 seems like a fine price for it. Bonus points for Fantasy Zone reference.
