I have a really weird and irrational hatred for this game and I'm starting to think it's unironic

Like when I say it's the worst thing humanity has ever made I'm starting to think I'm being dead-ass and it's weird because it isn't THAT bad...

There are SOME positives.... (Now Second) best story in the franchise... great character-work... some levels like City Escape, Metal Harbour, Final Rush and Radical Highway are actually solid and rival the average quality of levels in the first SA game, although none top that game's upper tier levels except MAYBE Final Rush on a good day.

But the bad... Sonic/Shadow style controls way worse than in SA1, Crazy Gadget, Dogshit bosses, cutscenes with walking animation that honestly make me uncomfortable (like what the fuck their limbs are so skinny yet they move too realistically), Crazy Gadget, no hub worlds, worse OST than the first SA, Live and Learn included in that, Crazy Gadget, hunt stages are somehow worse than in SA1, MOTHERFUCKING CRAZY GADGET! THAT LEVEL UNIRONICALLY GIVES ME SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AT JUST THE THOUGHT OF PLAYING IT! I-

sigh

Yeah I think I'm being irrational and over-exaggerative. Probably like.... 3 stars unironically?
