Any game that lets me live out the horrors of circa mid-2000s DeviantArt by way of an official Sonic OC creator has got to be worth compromises like slightly wonky Classic Sonic controls and physics; and while the three hour initial playtime is fairly short, there’s a ton of replay value in Red Star Ring collection and the missions system.

It’s not by any means an amazing game, but for a budget release that can be had for a fraction of its launch price today, it’s probably worth ignoring the discourse and giving a shot.
