I'm sure I'm hurting a few people's hearts when I say this is my first experience with a Sonic game. I had fun overall (This game is hard to play when high, JS). I played the entire thing co-op with my boyfriend and I felt like it's just a game genre that doesnt work well with co-op, due to camera restrictions. While a fun idea in theory, I just don't think it worked well for this style of game. MOST of the level designs/environments were fun but none of the bosses stood out to me and were more annoying than anything. The final boss fight was horrendous during the first phase, doable on the second phase but not fun. While I did have fun in the moment playing it, the overall experience felt mediocre.

A pretty solid doom game, I had only played a few levels on pc when I was in high school but never got to finish the entire game but I'm so glad I did it now after being able to play the other games in the series and being able to compare it. I thought the map design was strong, a little too industrial environmentally, I really prefer hell settings as opposed to city settings (just a personal preference) and I just felt like there wasn't a ton of that in here. There were a lot of "What the hell do I do?" moments in the first game and I felt like the linear design of this game really helped with that, environmentally hinting at the next steps instead of a 'figure it out' mentality. This game really loved to flock with enemies, especially map "Tricks and Traps" (Map 8) was one of the standout moments of this game, utterly terrifying and making me sweat bullets. One of the maps that I wasn't a fan of was Map 24, nothing combat-wise, just environmentally very frustrating, walking along teeny-tiny walls, trying not to fall into poison pits when you cant even look down to see where you are, I just got super annoyed after awhile and it was one of the maps I had to replay a few times because if you fall there is absolutely no way to get out in certain areas BUT this gave added quick saving (which I didn't notice until embarrassingly late) which helped a whole lot. Overall I think Doom 64 is stronger than this one but I had a great time playing it.
