Ok, so like, it's the bosses. The bosses are the problem. And they never got fixed. This is a good 2D Sonic game. This is maybe even a great 2D Sonic game, for me at least. I have a lot of fun running through the stages, trying out the additional characters, getting the Chaos Emeralds, going into the bonus stages, etc. Just like the good ole days with the classics when I was a kid. It's a lot of fun. The problem is the bosses. They are too long, no checkpoints, and they are hard. There's something to be said for... I guess cinematic boss fights in Sonic games. Frontiers certainly had cinematic fights. But they were also fast, and not the most punishing if you lose. If you die in a fight in this game, you restart the fight. Like any other 2D Sonic game of course. But you also have to sit through all the extra animations where you cannot do anything, either because you are locked in place or because the boss is invincible during that animation. It makes it hard for me to work up the urge to replay this game. I haven't even beaten Trip's story, arguably the more interesting part of the game, because the bosses are even harder there. Overall, it's good. Sonic fans already have this game obviously, we buy everything. But if you're on the fence I'd say try it. Maybe the fact that I am a Sonic fan is part of why the bosses are unbearable for me, so in that sense maybe somebody without the baggage of being a Sonic fan would enjoy this more. It's probably worth waiting for a sale at least but I guess I recommend this game. Steam needs a mid button.

"my favorite youtuber said to hate this game because they didnt like it waaaahhh!" I dont think the game is perfect, but I genuinely dont understand why its hated as much as it is. It looks good, plays good, sounds good (yes, the soundtrack is good, even the songs made by jun, cry about it), it checks all the boxes for a good 2D Sonic game, and yet people treat it like its on par with Sonic 4. It seems like the biggest complaint is the bosses, but the only ones I really didn't like was the last Fang fight and the last story's boss. I didnt really mind the final Eggman fight because my struggles with it were just because of a skill issue and I managed to overcome it. I think the only times I wasn't really enjoying the game was those 2 bosses and grinding for medals and the character-specific enemy kills for the achievements, otherwise I was having fun. maybe sonic fans just dont know what a good game is anymore lol

Right okay so I am going to start this review by saying I really do want to give a negative review for this game.. However I struggle to commit to it because I genuinely did have alot of fun, but absolutely not £60 worth of fun though.. The first half of this game is freaking amazing, the graphics are super appealing and definitely a fresh take of 2D sonic. Sonic and his friends control really really well and Sega truly nailed it. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.................................... This game hates you. After around 4 levels this game becomes literal hell, with gimicky levels that are just annoying, enemies or spikes that you just cannot reasonably see coming due to the camera being so zoomed in... and the worst part of this game.. the freaking bosses. This goes from being a game all about speed to a game which literally becomes a waiting simulator. Unlike the classic sonic games the bosses have invincibility frames, which would not be so bad if it was more obvious when you could actually attack them.. but nope, you may even kill yourself trying to hit them since there are many bottomless pits. I am only giving this game a positive review because I truly do like the levels of this game and many things it did to stand out, but the bosses among other things really do make this game a drag sometimes. Please only pick up this game on a REALLY GOOD sale, its absolutely not worth full price!!!

The game is seriously amazing, Don't let the "mixed reviews" fool you. This game is primarily for individuals who want a good classic sonic experience but at the same time want something different as well because this game mostly focuses on implementing new features such as the chaos powers system (which the chaos emerald powers are very good, though not required to beat the game that dosn't automatically make them bad because they still make the boss fights that people oh so complain about so much, A LOT easier. in short, the chaos emerald abilities are simply to cheese parts of the game though they're not generally required in order to beat the game (unless you count the true story, but in that case that would mean that chaos emeralds are also required to beat the game in the genesis games as well so that just sums up everything). level design is fine though gimmicks can be annoying at times, they're not exactly game breaking. game's visuals look amazing and i still have yet to try out the co-op mode. boss fights are honestly fine, i've still been able to land multiple hits on some bosses via using chaos powers (such as the clone ability) and it's honestly just weird to me how sonic players tend to complain about boss fights being too easy....yet now they're complaining that they're too hard? please pick your poison. the boss fights in this game are NOT that hard as far as difficulty, certainly harder than genesis games like sonic 3 but still beatable. the controls are very fun and responsive, only thing i'd complain about this game is that despite how good it is, it should not be 60 USD. in fact no classic sonic game should be that much. not even Sonic X shadow generations costed that much so I honestly don't see why they gave this game such a price tag. but good news is, it's on sale now so take this as a good opportunity to try the game out for yourself.

After playing the main part of this game. I can finally talk about it. I have no idea what you guys are playing, but I enjoyed this game. This game isn't "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" (You can only catch lightning in a bottle once), but it is still very enjoyable. The best way I can describe this game is, "New Super Mario Bros 2" but with Sonic. It's basically everything you love about the classic games without the fluff. As for a reference to what this game feels like, it feels like Sonic CD with some S3&K sprinkles added. Everything is good, but here are some issues I had with this game. On higher framerates, the spindash doesn't work correctly. This might sound like a major issue, but you can fix it by setting the game to its base 60 FPS. if you can stomach a Sonic game at 240 FPS, you need to be in the military because no regular human being can handle that. Also, the music is a bit weird. It's not bugged, it's an issue with the stylistic choice. Don't get it twisted, the songs are great, as Tee Lopes and Jun Senoue worked on it. However, there are three types of styles in this game for some reason; Mania-Tee Lopes, Genesis, and Forces. No idea why they did that but hey, at least the music still bangs. I also hear a lot about the boss fights. I have no idea what they are on, because the fights are fine with me. I am assuming people are mad they can't cheese them like in the original games, which is untrue anyways because you absolutely can with the "emerald powers" you get throughout. Now, the price. This is a make it & break it for some. To me... it's a bit too high. This game costs more than Sonic X Shadow Generations at it's base price. I'd say wait for a discount. It's great, but not worth $60. Other than that, I recommend it for those that want that classic feel with a bit more "NSMB" flair added. It's no Mania nor S3&K, but it sure as shit ain't no Sonic '06.
