this game takes as long to complete as sonic forces i think thats hilarious

Damn, this game's sweet. Nothing very crazy, it's clearly not here to deconstruct the way we view Sonic or whatever; the game is here to give us a fun little ride and murder mystery with the Sonic cast. Gathering evidence is fun because the backgrounds are very pretty, the dialogue is very bouncy and never drags on, alongside being very entertaining to see Tails and Ryu from Streets (yes thats what i named the POV character) debunk the cast's bluffs. Just a very fun little bite-sized ride with the very fun (when not badly written, SEGA) cast of the Sonic universe. Definitely way more than you'd expect from what was shown as an April Fools game. Go play it, it's free!

This is probably the game I've sunk the most time to. The game has fixed and tweaked so much of the old content to make it so much better for the player without it baby-fying the mechanics so well, the added content is SPECTACULAR, the characters are all distinct and fresh as ever, the lore finally gets its conclusion SO satisfyingly...

This game is dangerous. It is a fucking DRUG. It is one of the most replayable games ever. Even after obtaining 3.000.000%, I just wanna go back and drop a few runs in. Just, y'know, beware of its very very opinionated views on Christianity. Some people definitely might be offended or upset by the depictions. If you don't mind or care about Christianity being depicted in a negative light, PLEASE GO FOR IT

This game is fun. I have been sinking my teeth into the gameplay and it's really fun most of the time, as Killer. Survivor is actively unengaging to me, but Killer is really fun. The playerbase ruins it; just overall a terrible experience to get DMs from salty players and get teabagged, etc. Just rly lame conduct from players, upsettingly frequently- other than that, the game's perfectly fine,if you get it for free or at a big, big sale. This should NOT be 30 bucks + (DLC both cosmetic and gameplay) + battle passes. that's TERRIBLE). If you can get that like that, the game's fun.

This game is very sound and fun in races!

...the problem is it basically ONLY has regular 3-lap races and Battle Mode. it lacks content in game modes to a BIG detriment. The music is great, the visuals are very nice, too.
I wish it had some more movement depth, though. The controls in Mario Kart always are simplistic by design, which I don't have a problem with, but in MK8D it's a bit overtuned, I feel. So simplistic it NEEDS the tracks to be utterly fantastic... which it has a lot of the time!

Not all the time, though.


The character roster is... strange. Don't mind the non-Mario characters, but I find it weird that the Inklings made it to Mario Kart over, say, Diddy Kong, for example. Still, very fun to play online (even though it gets janky) and it has some very fun tracks and set pieces. Looking forward to the new classic tracks DLC stuff! Maybe in the end it'll have so many good tracks that it'll compensate for the lack of extra game modes and gameplay depth.

In the top 3 of best Kart Racers ever. FANTASTIC track design, charming and nice visuals, VERY good controls in all 3 vehicle options, fun modes for multiplayer AND single-player, catchy music... this game has it all. :D a joy to go back to every once in a while. My biggest gripes with it are that some characters just really don't get to do a lot in most tracks, due to being VERY bad on certain vehicles, which is sad when there's an already tiny little selection for racers. Other than that, there's nothing I can complain about!

I really like it, but there's some very big issues for me. Vehicles overall are pretty OK, I guess, but they really aren't nearly as interesting or fun as the regular Crash platforming. Unfortunate, since the game is at around 60% platforming, 40% vehicles. The platforming is still a blast, though!

Relics are a very fun new addition, too! Gems are a joy, and bosses are just OK, as always (Definitely better than 2's bosses)...
The power-ups are very polarizing, though. Double Jump and Death Tornado Spin are VERY powerful, but then Super Body Slam and Wumpa Fruit Bazooka are super niche in their use. Running Shoes only served a purpose for Relics...

Overall great, just the one out of the original trilogy with the most glaring issues to me. Most enjoyable when aiming for 100%.
