I always thought that people were just blinded by nostalgia and this game was nowhere near as good as everyone said it was...Because that is always the case...Particularly when it comes to Sonic. However, after having played this game, I can say with certainty that this has dethroned Sonic Mania as my favorite 2D Sonic game.
Simply, everything about this game is really good. The stages, the music, the controls, the level design, the level gimmicks, the bonus stages and minigames; even the storytelling is good in this one, and these characters never speak! it just has it all!
The best part about it to me however, is the fact that, this is the longest 2D Sonic game they've ever made (Or that I have played I guess); this means that you will have plenty of content and hours of thrilling fast paced platforming to keep you entertained. I still remember how happy I was once I beat the boss in Launch Base Zone, which felt like the end of the game, only for it to just keep going with like 8 more zones.
I was just having a blast with this game the entire time, and I kinda want to replay it again the same way I have replayed Mania like 9 different times. I do have one complaint tho, ONE thing this game does poorly, and it is that FUCKING BARREL.
I'M SORRY, I HAD TO COME BACK AND MENTION THIS. WHY WOULD YOU DESIGN IT LIKE THAT SONIC TEAM?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I WAS STUCK FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES AND I HAD TO LOOK AT A YOUTUBE FUCKING VIDEO SO I COULD GET PAST THE STUPID FUCKING B
Anyway, it actually is that good, give it a shot if you haven't. 3 Knuckles out of &....................Knuckles.
