On the verge of being a truly fantastic modern 3d platformer but held back by some minor issues. Firslty, I'll say the art direction, level design and music are all top notch and some of the best I've seen from the genre. As for the movement, it took a while to click together due to a few odd control choices that prevent it from being as smooth as it could be. As well it's held back by the somewhat unpolished state the game released in. The air dash, which when functional is very satisfying, doesn't always register which can be really frustrating when the entire game revolves around it's movement system. With that said, the movement, at its best, is still a blast once you adjust to it's excentricities and I'd argue some of the best in the genre in recent years. It is a shame that the game released early as I think even those 4 short months could've gone a long way in buffing out the games' rough edges. The foundation here is something I can really get behind, especially as a massive fan of 3d Sonic, and as the game is it's still a really enjoyable 3d platformer that I'd recommend to fans of the genre (although I would probably advise waiting for a patch). I'm really excited to see where Evening Star go from here I think they've proven well enough that they're capable of great things and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can build from this game into whatever they work on next.
