I want to be very clear I have no nostalgia for this game, I did not grow up with it, and I had never really played it until recently, and I gott say after playing generations (witch I thought was very mid) unleashed was very pleasent surprise. The boost sonic gameplay really began here and it feels quite good, and while wearhog isnt perfect it can be fun when the game isnt making you platform as him. Having to collect the medals to unlock levels was a little annoying but not too bad. The boss fights were a mixed bag for me, some fun, some unnecasarily dragged out. Overall besides some hiccups unleashed is a genuinely good game, and so far the first sonic game ive played that ive genuinely fully enjoyed.
