once again preemptively giving this 5/5 stars, I know I was a fucking idiot last time with the Sonic Frontiers Update 3 DLC but this time it's different, something deep in my guts and boners are telling me this is gonna be a fuckin' ball!

edit : it's fine, half way done with it and I can say it's just a fine simple game, nothing more nothing less, I seriously need to stop hyping myself up on Sonic games, I'll edit this a second time once my playthrough is complete,

2nd edit :the more and more I play this game I feel complete ambivalence, it's not bad enough to have me rant and rave but not good enough make me go "wow that was super fun!", goes nothing beyond "yeah that was fine I guess", if your having fun with it I'm happy for you but in regards to me it feels kind of hollow, as far as I'm concerned I like it more than Sonic 1 and CD but not enough to say it's better than 2 or 3&K, to a certain degree I feel like how much money I put down was the main issue, $60 feels like way to much for a game like this, in the end I feel like I've been disappointed, but to be fair I think that's my fault for wanting a game like Sonic Mania that would blow my socks off, I'll make another log if I feel the need to when I eventually complete Superstars, but for now I'm gonna go back to trying to platinum DMC5SE, at least that game makes me feel something more than just "meh",


(also semi related but another reason I disliked the experience was because I got none of the preorder bonuses I thought we're promised to me, got no acrylic stand and the DLC code didn't work, just a cherry on the disappointment sundae)
