After nearly 20 years of curiosity, I've finally tried this game due to it joining Game Pass.

Not worth the wait!

The aesthetic and presentation gives major 3D Sonic vibes, which I did not expect. As a completionist, the timed nature of the levels and all the hidden collectables would hypothetically make this game a great one to sink a bunch of time into. Unfortunately, it's just not that fun to play. Feels like a rough tech demo for a better game. The time mechanics are cool though!

Overall, it feels like any other unremarkable 3D adventure game from the early 2000s. Some cool ideas, but it's nothing worth diving into today.
