This is a really really well made platformer, the only problem is that it's a Sonic game. The game over system is annoying. Drowning is bullshit. Getting crushed is bullshit. A lot of bosses are annoying. All this comes with the territory and yet doesn't stop it from being overall pretty damn fun and as good as 2D Sonic has been since the GBA. The levels looks great, there's a lot of characters to play as, and it handles about as well as Sonic can. Plus, the DLC Encore mode is pretty neat too.
