I don't hate it as much as most people seem to, but it's still just eh. Episode 2 is good though.
There's officially a Sonic 4, a follow up to Sonic 3 and Knuckles, and it's THIS fucking game.
Little depressing innit?

“Bro this game is terrible you retard why is it a 7 and not a 1 like it obviously deserves?” Actually give it a chance because it’s not that bad I don’t care if it looks ugly or sounds like trash as long as the gameplay is solid then I couldn’t care less about those things
“But it controls shitty and the level design is bad you gotta spam the homing attack over and over again” the controls are fine sure they take a bit of time to get used to but they’re doable whatever about the physics like sa1 and rush have messed up physics and yet people still like those games and level design doesn’t force you to use the homing attack all the time look up speed runs for proof and you’ll see what I mean it’s more skill based than you think
Some flaws that bring to mind are the level gimmicks and which some are fine (vines, torches, and rotating gears) but others aren’t that don’t have much going on (boulder, pinball and mine cart ride) and admittedly the homing attack is a dumb addition even though it’s not too much of a problem it’s still just as unsatisfactory as it’s always been

I remember the first level's music being pretty good, but yeah. That's about where the positives end for me. Honestly, it's partially my fault too. I know that Sonic 4 can't hold a candle to its predecessors on Genesis & the like, but me personally? I'm just bad at 2D Sonics. Try as I may, I can't click with them. So that definitely doesn't help.
I can’t fucking take it anymore. I don’t usually shelf or abandon games, but if I play this game for another second, it might actually kill me. It might seem overkill, but I mean it. This game is so bad. It’s SO BAD.
Worst game ever made icl. I hate you, Dimps.

Oof, Sonic 4: Episode 1 was a major disappointment. It tries to bring back that classic Sonic feel but falls flat. The controls are clunky, the levels are confusing, and it just doesn't capture the magic of the old games. There are a few cool moments, and the graphics are decent, but overall this is just a mediocre attempt to cash in on nostalgia. Diehard Sonic fans might get something out of it, but most will probably want to skip this one.
Esse jogo foi um erro, não deveriam ter criado algo tão feio e sem graça que nem isso.
I was wondering if I should log this here. Played a handful of acts and my general reaction to it was something in the lines of:
- looks ugly
- plays very sluggish
- screen feels too small, even on PC
- soundtrack tries to be Mega Drive, but it doesn't try doing something interesting with the sound chip
Honestly? Just play the crappy Speedy Gonzales Romhack for the SNES that was titled "Sonic The Hedgehog 4". It's as sluggish as this, but at least the "SONIC SONI-" sound makes me giggle.

Why did I ask my mom if she could buy this for me on my phone thinking this was gonna be good?
