Look, I'm sure I'm one of the few people on this god forsaken planet who actually enjoys playing the additional characters in Sonic. Tails is my favorite character to play in the series because his moveset really prioritized exploration and speed. But fuck, I can't even make it to him because I just cannot stand how these characters control here. Knuckles is so fucking terrible to control it's like I took a timewarp to 2006, I had my controls invert, revert, and invert again the span of seconds while climbing a wall, it just feels so terrible. I just don't want to go any further with this, it feels so bad and once again I guess I shouldn't be surprised at Sonic Team dropping the god damn ball. Seriously, can we just dissolve that team and give this franchise to the Yakuza devs, please. I sincerely doubt they could make a worse Sonic experience than Sonic Team.

Yeah, his climbing does feel about as bad as 06. At least that game was an unfinished technical disaster, but it seems by design in Frontiers, which is frankly aggravating considering it felt mostly fine in the Adventure games if a bit weightless.

@Weatherby It’s like genuinely shocking how much they get wrong here too. Like in Adventure gliding into a wall would just have me connect to it, there wouldn’t be any left over momentum forcing Knuckles upwards and fucking my climb. This shit happens so frequently in Frontiers and then you add the broken camera on top of that and it’s just a wreck. Idk how people are supposed to stomach this DLC, and I say that as someone who likes the base game
