I think this game gets too much hate. This is probably my favorite Sonic game to just play casually, the levels are just relaxing to play through. The game isn't too difficult but there is a decent challenge in later stages. Are the physics a bit off compared to most Sonic games? Yes. Do I think they are bad? No. The only time the physics feel weird in this game is when you are trying to turn in 3d sections. The momentum gets slowed a little and it feels a bit odd, but you very rarely need to steer sharply so it doesn't matter much. I had a blast playing through this one. I like the concept. Mario Galaxy is my favorite game of all time so I may be a bit biased. I still think this game is great and any fan of Sonic or platformers in general should give it a fair try.

Underrated tbh. Really is just Sonic's version of Mario Galaxy. Is it nearly as good as Mario Galaxy? Heck no. But honestly, I had a decent time with this game.

Not a good game, but not the worst sonic game out there. They tried something different during the wii u era and it was ok at best. 100% percent wise its alright, the red rings only get you super sonic and its very underwhelming i only used it like twice, and the achievements are a grind but most of it can get done whilst playing the actual main story so they're ok, its a bit grindy towards the end but overall nothing crazy. I'd recomend playing it if you're a sonic fan otherwise maybe just play sonic x shadow or frontiers if youre looking to get into the franchise

One of the most conflicting games in the series, but I'd say it's worth a play. Sonic Lost World isn't one of the best games in the series, but it's far from the worst. Due to this game being developed originally as part of a partnership with Nintendo for the Wii U, it has some touches that feel very Nintendo. I'd say this game feels like you playing as Sonic trapped somewhere between Super Mario Galaxy & Yoshi's Island. It tries a little to hard to be those games which causes the majority of the levels to feel drawn out or unnecessary, but the handful of levels that slap are really quite fun. A bit more could have been done to make this feel like a proper PC-port, but like with most Sonic games, fan made mods do a great job of fixing a lot of the issues with this game that aren't level design related. A mod even exists to add the Wii U exclusive DLC featuring Legend of Zelda & Yoshi's Island back into the game. Overall, I'd say this one is worth picking up if it's on sale. I'm not sure about $30, but $20 or less would be a pretty fair price for a game with this amount of content.
