3D Sonic game after 3D Sonic game, the same sentiment comes up for me: "This sure is an attempt to bring Sonic into a 3D space, huh?"

It's hard to bring the fastest thing alive into such a wide open and detailed space. It's to that end that most of the super well regarded Sonic games are usually most of the 2D ones, SA2, and MAAAAAAAAYBE Colors. But there's one 3D Sonic game that breaks that mold, that being Generations.

I've talked before about how Sonic Forces is just the most blatant example of how absolutely grand Generations is. And after playing the whole thing through again, I can't understate how accurate that description is. Generations doesn't overstay it's welcome, with nice level design and controls that feel not only better than Forces, but better than ANY of the Sonic games on this thus far and possibly continuing down.

There's not much to really say beyond if you're a Sonic fan and haven't played Generations, you're forced to play it now. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules I just enforce them. Just a slight warning, the game can be a little messy with it's camera angles and the non-rival boss fights can be real annoying in the later third...
