I feel like such an outsider of Sonic as a series. A lot of the core game design that Sonic fans tend to love, I never quite seem to mesh with. A lot of it is trial and error, with a sense of speed that makes you lose a sense of precise platforming. It's purpose is to replay and to keep getting better at the game, even if your first experience wasn't a great one.

Roboblast 2 is an extreme love letter to Sonic, emblematic of the efforts that fans will go through for a series they love. Passion is poured into every fiber of this game's being. And yet... I just do not mesh well with its game design. And that's a shame, because I wish it did.
