One dev takes 4 years to turn one of the worst games of all time to just mid, Sonic fans gobble it up because they are battered housewives starved for content and mediocrity.

What is this trying to prove, really? That 06 could have been good in the ideal world where games don't have deadlines and budget limitations? Are we going to judge games based on what they could have been instead of what they are, now? Where was this charitability with other games like Superman 64, Yandere Simulator or Mass Effect Andromeda? Big news! It takes a gargantuan amount of effort to produce even the most mediocre works of art. It's not like I'm heartless and can't see the merit on this, but really ChaosX is better off making his own game or looking for a job in the industry.

There are so many design flaws in the original game that are downright unfixable by design and they show here. The controls are still too floaty and jittery for a speedy action platformer. The mach speed section still sucks, there are too many gimmicky stages (you still get to play as Amy for a total of 3 minutes) that try too hard to be a bland mish mash of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and no amount of drafts could ever fix the god awful story or the hub-world with stupid fetch quests to save Pele the realistic dog.

Sonic fans keep saying that the haters need to get over Sonic 06, but clearly they haven't gotten over it either.
