"A Sonic Game For Sonic Fans...Not Much Else"
Don't really know what to say for this one. I tried so many "Sonic" games and none of them have stuck with me, and this is one of the more popular and beloved ones. The soundtrack is not too bad, but it feels like just about everything else is low-budget and crummy to play through.
The game has floaty controls and unfocused level design. There's another simple plot about Dr. Robotnik capturing the emeralds and yadda yadda. New hedgehog called Shadow, with a cliche personality to boot. Visuals are decent, but the world has a scattered art focus, which is a shame since I always liked the aesthetic of the 2D games. These 3D ones just do not match in quality.
The voice acting is comically bad, but the audio design somehow makes it worse. Low effort writing and dialogue combine to make poor scenes all around.
Again, I've sort of given up on these games. This one just took the aspects of the previous game and dialed them up to 11, which will work great for fans of that game but will still end up being niche for most people. The platformers I enjoy tend to have imaginative, focused, and properly flowing levels. Also, you know, good controls. I just don't like "Sonic" much as a concept, so this game likely serves as a final chance for me to have enjoyed the series.
Final Verdict: 2/10 (Bad)
