By far one of my most hated games due to the anticipation built up beforehand and the damage it has done to sonic as a whole, the game doesnt understand its characters with everyone besides the main 3 feeling useless especially when characters like tails, knuckles, omega, etc have had huge adventures in their own right along with character development that this game chooses to ignore, the levels themselves arnt even any fun the designs are insanely boring in modern stages which wouldnt matter because the levels end before you realize it while the classic stages are so awful to control even when generations nailed classic before this, the story is awful like every story in this era but somehow worse its like they wanted to make a adventure era story but forgot to make a villian with an interesting motive (not that it matters since they recycle the same final boss from the previous 2 games for some god knows reason) along with actual pacing and charming dialogue. The only redeeming part of this game is the avatar however that mechanic as a whole feels extremely underwhelming with all species looking the exact same minus the head with customization barely existing outside of cosmetics. Look if you want to play forces just watch paint dry youd get the same experience.
