Sonic Robo Blast 2 holds the top spot as my favorite Sonic game on both counts. While many may not consider fan games in discussions about their favorite titles, it's a pity because this game offers the most satisfying Sonic experience ever.

I enjoy narratives similar to SA2, Black Knight, or even Heroes. However, simplicity has its merits – fewer plot holes and more focus on refining the gameplay.

I believe the only drawback of the game lies in its current length, though I refrain from attributing this as a flaw since it is still in development. I appreciate the robust level design, the Sonic OVA-inspired music, as well as the polished animations and conceptual elements.

I believe one of the key elements is the fusion of gameplay elements from Sonic Adventure and Super Mario 64. It incorporates the objective of completing levels akin to Sonic Adventure while adopting the collecting aspect, reminiscent of Mario 64. Momentum has consistently posed challenges in Sonic games since Sonic Heroes. Sonic Frontiers boasts a compelling narrative and stunning visuals, the absence of rewarded speed deems it a 6/10 game in my opinion. This game excels in maintaining momentum, aligning seamlessly with the level design. The stakes are elevated, with each player progressively raising them until Sonic '06 where they dropped it. It feels like a more significant advancement in stakes compared to 3D Blast.

This game is a delightful treat, especially for those who appreciate Classic Sonic or are fans of high-quality platformers. I highly recommend it for both Sonic enthusiasts and lovers of excellent platforming experiences.

The mod scene is REALLY good too.
