I'm sure I'm hurting a few people's hearts when I say this is my first experience with a Sonic game. I had fun overall (This game is hard to play when high, JS). I played the entire thing co-op with my boyfriend and I felt like it's just a game genre that doesnt work well with co-op, due to camera restrictions. While a fun idea in theory, I just don't think it worked well for this style of game. MOST of the level designs/environments were fun but none of the bosses stood out to me and were more annoying than anything. The final boss fight was horrendous during the first phase, doable on the second phase but not fun. While I did have fun in the moment playing it, the overall experience felt mediocre.

After completing this game and thinking on it for a few days, I've come to the conclusion that I really liked this game. I had some issues with the mechanics of the game (mind you, I REFUSED to play with motion controls so partially my fault) I thought the story was solid, the dungeons were solid, the bosses were challenging. Though, environmentally sometimes repetitive ("Go back to these three locations AGAIN."), I never really found myself bored playing this game. The character development was outstanding (#TeamGroose). Though I can't say Id ever replay it, I really enjoyed it for what it was.
