A 3D platformer by the Sonic Mania guys? Of course I was hyped. I didn't play it right away, took me a bit to get to it and I had heard it was a bit buggy so the extra time gave it a chance to get fixed up a bit. It has been patched according to my Switch so it should be fine now. Right? WRONG. I fell through stuff, my moves acted inconsistently to throw me into pits, I got killed by bottomless pits while on solid ground, walking. I clipped through the Rufus fight twice in the same cutscene, then won anyway. I got hit by a marked attack I wasn't even hit by. It's not the follow up to Mania, it's the follow up to Sonic 06. I wish I could love it. It's so pretty. The music is great. But so much of this makes no sense. It's broken. Penny's Big Broken Game, I've started calling it. I hope the story doesn't end here. I hope I hear about it getting finished in the next year or two. But some of this stuff is by design, so idk.
