What kind of native PS5 game has loading screens? You can painfully tell this is the development team behind SONIC FORCES attempt to recreate SONIC MANIA. Gets worse as the game progresses. Terrible boss fights. Why this got so much praise, why this was heralded as a return to form is beyond me. Retroactively makes it seem like SEGA approved SONIC MANIA only so that they could have other, more talented developers create a proper 2D Sonic engine for them.
