This game was not made for me.
Sonic Generations is a celebration of the legacy of Sonic the Hedgehog up to the point of the game's release. This is a game meant for those who have fond nostalgia for the series, and I don't have that. I didn't grow up with Sonic as a kid, and I really only started playing Sonic games about a year or two ago, so I lack the nostalgia that this game is meant to appeal to.
Don't worry though, as you can see from my rating, I still really liked the game. The game is really fun to play, I liked nearly all of the stages, though a couple of the late-game stages were not that great. Even though I could never get a full grasp on the controls, controlling both Modern and Classic sonic were really fun, and the speed felt really satisfying. I like the Rival Battles, and most of the bosses were good too. And I mean, I really like the idea of combining stages from previous sonic games, even if that doesn't have the same impact to me as it does to others.
I played with mods on my first ever time playing, and though I suppose for some that would be a bad thing, I think it made me enjoy it more. It was funny seeing a photo-realistic Cirno Fumo going through Crisis City.
So while I did really enjoy this game, and I think the game in and of itself is great, I also recognize this game is also just not targeted towards me in particular.
