This... This gave me a headache.
When it's good, It's REALLY REALLY GOOD.
But when is bad, I want to commit Unalive.
Let's start with the positives, Amy and Tails are the best additions to this game, They feel better to play that Sonicand they cheese the hell out of the puzzles, WHICH FEELS AMAZING, Knuckles to a lesser extent, but I do love his infinite glide ability.
The new ending is really cute, and it comes with a great boss fight(It's a shame it has a terrible way to explain what you need to do to progress but more of that later).
The Sountrack is amazing, specially Knuckles mix...
OK, time to be rude, I hope the guy who decide it to have a boss rush with stats at level 1, only 400 rings with no recovery in between, having the padding of climbing the titans and with only perfect parrying(Which in Hard dificulty I learn is 3 FRAME WINDOW) gets punched in the face; 4 HOURS, IT TOOK ME 4 HOURS WHILE LOOKING AT STRATEGIES ON HOW TO DO IT, AND IT STILL TOOK WAY TOO LONG.
The Towers, THE STUPID, MORONIC TOWERS, THE FIRST ONE IS THE MOST BAFFLING BECUASE THAT ONE WAS THE WORST OF THE BUNCH, THEY STARTED YOU WITH THE HARDEST CHALLENGE, AND THE REST WERE FAIR ENOUGH, THEY STILL KINDA SUCK, BUT IN COMPARATION THEY FELT LIKE A MORE FAIR CHALLENGE... STILL BULLSHIT THAT THEY ARE ANY CHECKPOINTS OR SHORTCUTS.
The new final boss is great, it feels amazing... It's a shame it goes to shit because they don't explain to you that there's a hidden hitbox behind the neck of the boss that you need to hit to progress... THEY TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN PARRY THE BULLETS TO REFLECT THEM, SO I ASSUME THAT WAS PART OF THE BOSS FIGHT, IS NOT, IT CHANGES NOTHING, IT'S JUST AN MEANINGLESS UPGRADE TO MAKE IT SEEM MORE POWERFULL, I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BOSS FIGHT, DOING SICK COMBOS, MAKING CYLOOPS IN TO CYLOOPS THAT MAKE LOOK LIKE "THE END" WAS STRUGLING AND LOOSING MORE HEALTH, AND THAT FELT GREAT.... BUT THE MOMENT YOU FIND OUT YOU JUST NEED TO HIT THE CABLE AFTER DOING A BASIC COMBO, THE BOSS FIGHT'S DIFICULTY NOSEDIVES, THERE WAS NO STRATEGY, IT WAS JUST BRUTE FORCE(Which is a massive shame because the spectacule was top notch, the boss fight has incredible Choreography)
Everytime I'm playing as the new characters is a 5/5
Everytime I change to Sonic it becomes a 1/5
This is why this stupid update is a 2.5
Goddammit, the sad part is that this is still the best 3D Sonic Games in over a decade.
