A solid game in its own right, but also a massive fuckup of a sequel. The story isn't coherently mixed with Doom 2016, the gameplay is fundamentally broken because bosses have to spawn fodder enemies for ammo, Mick Gordon got the composer curse, Snapmap and traditional Deathmatch were removed to the detriment of replay value, and the Invasion mode was canceled for good measure.

The Sonic 30th Anniversary Symphony only having a Crush 40 remix of "Sonic Boom" to represent this game just makes me think about what a fucking travesty it was for the U.S. soundtrack to exist in the first place. The Japanese soundtrack is one of the best Sonic OSTs ever made, and I will fight to the death over that opinion.
The game itself is okay, I guess.

This is one of only a few games where I will usually idle to let the opening play out. The music, and the presentation of this collection in general, is just that good.
But featuring the standalone versions of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, with the combined game being an unlockable, was an idiotic move in hindsight.

I absolutely adored this game when it came out, spending hundreds of hours on it, but it hasn't been aging well. The base gameplay is kind of boring and the vanilla maps are mostly terrible compared to the custom maps, but the only active servers now are M.U.G.E.N.-tier clusterfucks.
I am well beyond ready to have a clean slate with Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers, which I hope will be worthy of 5 stars.
