Even though I played this game when I was literally a few months old, I never actually completed it until I was 4.
Objectively speaking, Sonic Adventure 2 has definitely shown its age. There are some parts of it that haven't aged well on repeat playthroughs such as the cutscene animations, the overall story (with plotholes and underdeveloped story threads), and just the Mech and Treasure Hunting sections that slow the game down.
Of course, there are the things that it does just right such as the Speed and Platforming section, the music, and the characterization of Sonic.
However, subjectively, this game has a very special place in my heart due to it being the literal first video game I ever played and it defined my love for Sonic and video games in general.
I love you, Sonic Adventure 2. I hope we'll get an Adventure 3 someday...
Someday...
