Even more of a wasted potential than the average Sonic game.
If you look at me and say the Sonic game where he has a sword is garbage, or the one where the main gimmick is you play with your own OC, I'm gonna be like "well, what did you expect??"
But this one looks so cool! The stages are so interesting, and beautiful! The potential is galactic! And yet, is pure garbage. SEGA has no idea how Sonic is even supposed to control.
You know how some games are labelled "precision platformers"? This is the opposite, an imprecision platformer. The game designers didn't know how to make Sonic gameplay feel good at slow speeds, so they made all the slow parts almost unplayable. This way, people will forget any notion of exploration and just kinda "press forward to win". They made you want to go fast by making you REALLY don't want to go slow. It's a shame, because otherwise the game is beautiful, and had almost as much potential as its clear inspiration, Mario Galaxy.
