The way people talk about this game, I was expecting 06 levels of glitchy, underdeveloped mess that would kill my entire family.

But like, it's fine? I'm not trying to be contrarian or anything, I genuinely don't understand why people hate this game the way they do. Sure it's like the most average a modern Sonic game could really be, but like, I like that. There's a decent amount of content, collectables, level variety (gameplay wise, at least), I just don't understand. 100% is a bit of a grind, but most people don't 100% Sonic games anyway.

The story is melodramatic and the canon "Sonic OC" mechanic is a little silly, but I don't necessarily dislike either. It feels like a typical kids game story. I guess the constant talking might grate on people, but I play in JP and love that cast, so it didn't bother me.

Am I just crazy? I don't understand why this is such a pariah in the fanbase. I enjoyed it well enough, and for $10 on sale, you could do worse.
