the sheer disingenuousy of the zones having 6 or 7 acts and only about 2 of them each are actual stages and the rest are bite-sized platforming segments or puzzles that can be finished in under a minute.

a boost-formula game that is either
A) hold up in 3D space or
B) hold right in 2D space

wisps are the most nothing game mechanics to exist. they exist to clear whatever portion of the stage requires them and allow for 0 amount of experimentation or creative out-of-the-box gameplay.

cutscenes and writing deserve no comment

i have not played forces but to me this is the worst boost formula game and no matter how many times i revisit it i cannot ever consider why it's so beloved. i had more fun with lost world just on the basis that it's a game that tried something different and despite its rough edges it was unique and allowed itself to have variations in gameplay. sonic colors is automated from the moment you press start. we deserved sonic unleashed ultimate
