If you'd asked me what my most-desired compilation title was, a collection of the iOS Sonic remasters + a new S3K remaster would've been high up there. And this is it! Mostly. But when you consider all the little things like the lack of CRT filter (which looked great in Sonic Mania), the inability to disable the drop dash, replacing lives with a coin economy that quickly loses relevance...it all adds up to a lackluster package. It just isn't the treatment these games deserve. And yeah, I get and understand why the music for S3 had to change, but it just doesn't feel right, you know? These are fine versions of the game, but this won't ever be my favorite way to play them. That's a real bummer, because it could've (and should've) been.
