Played to test Saturn emulation on Series X as well as to grab more RetroAchievements. Sonic World is so ridiculously short I was debating even counting it, but I finished all in-game tasks and saw the credits so meh?
Despite being clunky nowadays, Sonic World is enjoyable more as a "what could've been" for Sonic Adventure rather than anything hugely interesting on its own. But it's so harmless and short that I still think it's worth a quick 10-20 minute blast for Sonic/Saturn fans.

Such a confused game. The character designs, certain individual stories and worldbuilding are great, but the gameplay is meh and the endgame is infuriating. So much is also left unexplained... I’m left so utterly confused but I had some fun.
To answer the question I get asked lots when I reveal that I’ve been playing this game: In it’s current state, it probably is beyond saving. The concept is good, it’s just the execution, and sadly I doubt Square will give the team the chance to fix this game or make a sequel.

An already phenomenal game/experience I adored strengthened by the various upgrades this edition offers. Playing in 4K (on Xbox Series X) with a good pair of headphones for the first time blew my mind away and whisked me to another world. The Switch port while a little downgraded and lacking at times offers the same great experience on the go, and looks stunning on the new OLED model.

The true Monkey Ball successor we all wanted. Great physics and level design from fans who get what made the series great. Perhaps cheeky to say I've beaten it (early access), but I cleared all difficulties in Challenge Mode available on launch day, and recleared it again once additional challenge modes and stages were available in August.
