Well, that escalated quickly

3D sonic games have never been good. While this certainly isn't the best Sonic title to date, it is the only 3D title in the franchise that I'll defend and recommend.

The inclusion of reimagined stages from the 3D sonic games isn't great, however they are optional. You don't even need to play them to get all the achievements.

The mandatory mini-games are poor, but easy and few and far between. Lost points for that, but otherwise the game is quite good.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but with a great soundtrack (not featured in the trailers) and a fun over world. It's certainly worth it for those interested in a high speed, exploratory, and yet somehow relaxing collectathon-lite experience.

It's a bit jank, but I'm a fan of jank.
I'm sure it plays much better with a controller, but I'm playing on a keyboard which makes the character extra squirrely.

Came for the sick movement.
Stayed for the sick movement.
This game has fun movement.

Fun writing and actually beatable

I am required to put something here.

This can evoke joy in most people and will even cause sourpusses to bust out in dance. Until the remember they are being watched.

If happiness lasts for more than a few hours, see your doctor.


Details:
It's essentially a music video with some interactive elements and a lot of content packed into 3 minutes. The dancers will bat you away if you try to interfere with their dance routine. The clouds and mountains will get super happy if you look at them. When the big head shows up it will follow your view so you can't miss it. During the free dancing segments each dancer has a unique (community submitted) silly dance. So you'll have to watch it a few times if you want to see all of them.

Since you aren't just a viewer, but rather somewhat of a participant, the emotional response is far more punchy than what a normal music video can achieve. Everything is just overflowing with joy and it's infectious.

The Good: All the travel mechanics this game is based arround are quite fun. You run fast, jump high and swing from place to place like spiderman.

The Bad: Dialogue is flat and boring, and worst of all there is quite a bit of it for a game of this type.

The Ugly: When you trigger events you lose all of The Good (you are forced to walk, slowly), and are forced to suffer The Bad.

As it stands I have no plans of replaying any of this on account of The Ugly "feature".

It's kinda like Skyrim, if Skyrim were a b-game.

not playing this game is a sin. play it.
