This is a good game but its main issue is that it’s not super interesting
It features all of the 3D sonic tropes of scripting and simplistic mechanics quite often throughout each level and it can become kinda underwhelming
However when alls said and done the speed tech you can pull off here is fun and generally lines itself up pretty well among the best 3D games in the series considering how few issues it has

“Bro this game is terrible you retard why is it a 7 and not a 1 like it obviously deserves?” Actually give it a chance because it’s not that bad I don’t care if it looks ugly or sounds like trash as long as the gameplay is solid then I couldn’t care less about those things
“But it controls shitty and the level design is bad you gotta spam the homing attack over and over again” the controls are fine sure they take a bit of time to get used to but they’re doable whatever about the physics like sa1 and rush have messed up physics and yet people still like those games and level design doesn’t force you to use the homing attack all the time look up speed runs for proof and you’ll see what I mean it’s more skill based than you think
Some flaws that bring to mind are the level gimmicks and which some are fine (vines, torches, and rotating gears) but others aren’t that don’t have much going on (boulder, pinball and mine cart ride) and admittedly the homing attack is a dumb addition even though it’s not too much of a problem it’s still just as unsatisfactory as it’s always been

Underrated it’s way better than the original because it’s got a real challenge I guess it can be a little too difficult in some places but it’s largely manageable plus idc if I keep on getting game overs because it’s still so much more engaging

Overrated I’m not a fan of Metroid or Zelda type games I just find them kinda boring with not a lot of stimulating content and backtracking is generally a pain
Fortunately sotn has fast travel which hurts less but kinda loses me when it comes down to its challenge since it’s pretty easy to abuse spells and gets tiring of killing the same enemies with the same attacks down the same hallways
It’s more fun to move around and play it casually admiring its art and music than take it seriously as a game that actually tests you like the previous Castlevania games before it so if you’re not gonna give me a challenge or opportunity for self improvement then you may as well let me play around with its various mechanics and see what kind of cool things I can do so it’s enjoyable for that reason but does eventually get boring

It’s fine you can play it and have a tolerable and maybe even enjoyable time with it but really it’s not the most in depth or engaging thing out there since if you know what you’re doing and all of the fastest ways to the end it basically functions like a glorified mildly difficult rhythm game so it’s inoffensive but mid at everything at best

This is actually peak superhero game you guys just suck at it

Sonic’s schoolhouse is the only thing that keeps me going in life I learn so many new and cool things about it each and every time I play
