Spoilers warning!!!! also I just barely finished this game so things in this review may change as I log more hours :3

Overview

Okay, this review is only gonna be for the Shadow part of the game, The generations port is barely any different (besides some changed voicelines and slightly better graphics, nothing to go insane over.) So I'm gonna focus on the part that's actually new lol.
Anyway, I REALLY like this one guys. I'm SO glad they decided to keep going in the frontiers direction (obviously lol) and it being a combination of 2 of my favorite games ever really made this an obvious win.
So far, I can say that it still doesn't top frontiers (that game fucking CHANGED me dude) but that doesn't mean it's not still EXCEEDINGLY good. This makes me SO fucking excited for new titles in the future. I really hope they keep working with this and don't randomly completely redo the controls like they used to do for every game (which I will never fucking understand but whateverrrr)

Story

HOOOOOOOOOOLYYY
guys its literally peak. its SOOOOO good holyyy shit. There are a COUPLE lines that didn't fully land for me, but I'm literally just nitpicking dude the writing is SO FUCKING GOOD I LOVE YOU IAN FLYNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shadow and Maria's interactions in this game are adorable. I love when Shadow gets to show ANY weakness and this entire game is JUST that so :P He is SO FUCKING CUTE THE ENTIRE TIME DUDE OH MY GOOODFDHFJHF. Maria's writing too is just. oh my god I wanted to cry at some of her dialogue. It's so good to have her finally be a full character in the games and not just the random blonde girl that dies. She's so fucking cute. Just seeing her interact with Shadow is worth buying this game alone dude oh my goodddd

Visuals

They COOKED with the animations in this game, the cutscenes are DELICIOUS. The graphics themselves are also VERY nice. The lighting is beautiful and each level feels visually distinct. I also REALLY like what they did with the white space!! It's so much better than the 2d white overworld from the original. When I exited the first level and found out I could turn my camera around I was literally so fucking excited LMFAO.
My literal only complaint honestly just comes from shadow's model. His fur texture looks kinda gross. To the point where it genuinely distracted me during the some of the cutscenes. And- I'm sorry but they really need to shrink the sonic character's hands. It makes some of the serious scenes feel so stupid lol

Gameplay

I am SO happy I started with the generations part for a couple levels before switching to Shadow's half because it made me realize just HOW good his base movement controls are in comparison to older titles. The levels are well designed, the collectables are fun enough to collect, and the difficulty is pretty well balanced. I do hate that they brought back the thing of chasing the music notes in whitespace but. Whatever. My biggest complaint comes from controlling the doom upgrade thingies, ESPECIALLY the squid and surf. Holy shit they are so fucking bad. They make the levels and ESPECIALLY the boss fights really annoying.
Oh yeah, the bosses. Yeah I'm not a huge fan of playing them. Bio lizard and Mephiles are GREAT but the other ones are... eeeuugghhh... Metal overlord's S rank is so fucking stupid and the final boss is SO long and annoying tbh. Not my fav bosses, but it's fine.
Also, before I forget to mention it, thank fuck they got rid of lives. idc what anyone else says, lives in video games are fucking useless and just exist to annoy you. They still exist in the generations half (lame) but it's fine I think people would get really mad if they removed those (for literally no reason but whateverrrr)

Soundtrack

...Honestly???? eh. It didn't really give me that wow factor. I really liked kingdom valley's remaster!!!... ... I literally just bought this game for kingdom valley LMAO
I have a feeling the more I play the more tracks I'll like, but as for right now I really don't have much to say. It's alright

Warning: When I talk about this game I am mostly referring to the version included in Sonic X Shadow Generations. I have played the original, but so little of it is changed in the new release that it doesn't really affect this review at all. Just thought I'd make it clear which one I'm talking about tho :)

Overview

So, now that I've almost 100%ed this game twice (once in 2024, almost done with the second after playing Shadow Generations) I can say that this game is really good IN THEORY. But the longer I play it, the more I realize just how much this game pisses me off.
This is in NO WAY me saying that everything in this game pisses me off, god no! If anything, I really like a lot in this game! Especially in comparison to other games in the series. But I feel like I have to FORCE myself to have fun with this game sometimes. Like, I'm having a GREAT time playing, up until Seaside Hill. Then I feel like I'm fighting against god himself to not wanna bash my head into a wall.
I just feel like the controls of this game are a little outdated. It's not TERRIBLE but playing this and then immediately switching to Shadow generations makes me realize just how much I prefer the controls of Shadow. I'm always like "holy shit... I can actually turn...!" It's bad.
Also, there are a lot of parts in this game that make me VERY mad. If you don't care about getting all achievements or 100%, don't bother playing all of the special challenges. ESPECIALLY VECTOR'S. YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT. There are way too many challenges in this game. I understand it's to make the runtime longer than a couple hours just playing through the main acts, but a lot of the challenges are BAD. If not bad, just boring. Play the doppelganger challenges to get through the main story. There are very few other ones that are worth putting much time into.

Story

This story, I'll be honest, is god awful. Early Roger Craig Smith era has some of the WORST writing known to man, and this game is no different. But even beyond that, the general plot is really bad. It's a cute idea for an anniversary game, but that's as far as it goes. It serves its purpose and does nothing more.
The updated lines in the new release are. Fine. Some lines land a little weird, which might just be the old animations they didn't bother updating. I love that Sonic finally responds to his friends when he rescues them!!! I have no idea why that wasn't in the original but whatever. But yeah idk. The rewritten lines are. fine. Not offensive or super good but they... work.

Visuals

This game's graphics are extremely good and hold up beautifully. I mean, it couldn't have gotten THAT much worse in retrospect, but they're still noticeably good.
Each level's colors are beautiful and they help to make every stage stand out and improve over their original counterparts. Genuinely the colors are the best part, it makes every level look like a painting. The animations are also pretty good, but nothing stands out to me in that area.

Gameplay

I will start with this, I HEAVILY prefer modern Sonic gameplay in every scenario. I am just NOT a big fan of 2d platformers and I heavily prefer the speed of the boost gameplay.
With that out of the way, I will say, the classic Sonic gameplay in this is BY FAR the best I've played. This is the single game I can play and not cry from frustration because of that blue rat. He feels REALLY good in this game. He actually goes fast!!!! It's so awesome!!!!!! Jumping on enemies and making tight jumps actually feel NICE in this game!!! it's a classic sonic miracle.
That being said, I'm still not a HUGE fan. I always feel like classic sonic feels... heavy? Getting hit in this game as classic sonic is PAINFUL. Yes I know there's the skill to help you get up faster but fun fact!!! You can't use those skills in the challenges!! AKA if you're 100%ing the game you have no choice but to spend a full 2 seconds to get up EVERY TIME YOU GET HIT. It gets extremely infuriating after a while. I regularly have to close the game so I don't get too angry. It's baaaad.
As for modern Sonic gameplay, I REALLY enjoy it!! I love how tight the level design in his stages are, it actually feels like this game was planned out and that everything is intentional! Low bar but yknow sonic team. I don't really have THAT much to complain with him, act 2 is CONSISTANTLY better than act 1, same with the challenges. Except for the one with vector. If you haven't played the challenge with Vector where you have to hit the music notes, you haven't experiences true hell. (it's really not that bad, honestly it's kinda funny and can be fun to get through if you do it with company.)

Soundtrack

I mean, it's kind of hard to fuck up fan favorite tracks. There really isn't a single "miss" in this soundtrack, except for the final boss theme. Which isn't "bad" it's just boring.

Overview

Idk what I was expecting when I played this. I THINK I played this after 06 (yeah i know) and after years of dealing with braindead Sonic Fandom Hivemind I kind of stopped trusting anything anyone said about any sonic game. So I remember having this thought of "what if this game is secretly ass?" and after playing through it once, and then a second time over a year later, yeah its really good :) I understand why everyone loves this game, and I also understand all the grievances people have. This game is EXTREMELY good for a 90s 3D platformer. But there's enough dumb little bullshit things where I understand if someone just doesn't click with it. I, personally, really love it! and i hope one day there will be some sort of HD remaster where they update the visuals and voice acting (and fix the weird geometry and glitches) because I think that would turn out beautifully... ... If it was done correctly that is (if sonic adventure gets a remake and it sucks I'm not surprised in the slightest)

Story

Visuals

I don't think it's "wrong" for me to say that the visuals in this game haven't aged super well. There's a lot of charm in these older graphics and low poly models, but it can be a little hard to ignore at times. My main issues come from the animations, however. ESPECIALLY the talking animations. good god. They are Bad.
For the tech at the time though, it still looks super good. The levels all have very specific and beautiful art directions, to the point where they are ALL extremely memorable. I would love a graphical overhaul of this game, but it's just fine as is. I still heavily prefer this style over the more "hyper-realism" take triple A titles have had in the past few years (frontiers gets a realism pass it looks so cool)

THIS SOUND TRACK IS LITERALLY SO GOOD. IT'S SO PEAK. EVERY TRACK IS AWESOME. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE MISS!!!!!!

Overview

I am definitely not the first person to say this, but I feel like I am one of the most passionate, Sonic 06 is one of, if not the, most over hated game of all time. Let's get this out of the way, is this game good? Objectively, no, not really. Well then, is it at least the worst in the franchise? No. Culturally, yes, this game was literally Sonic 9/11. You could not go onto the internet from 2006 - 2015 without seeing constant hatred for this game. I would know, I lived it. But even as a small 5 year old kid, I knew this game was being blown WAY out of proportion. I hated this game because that's what you do. If you were a sonic fan, you had to hate Sonic 06. The sonic fandom has a MASSIVE echo chamber/hivemind issue. If one person says its bad, its bad. There is no nuance.
I went into this game thinking it would be the worst experience of my life, but I am not exaggerating when I say that I fell in love with this game. I legitimately woke up every day giddy and excited that I would be able to play it again. No other game has done that for me, at least not to the level this game has. Were there parts that left me frustrated, yes. Its Sonic 06. This game is hated for a reason. There are problems, I am not stupid. I know this game sucks. But, to me, I love it. The glitches are less like getting kicked in the nuts and more like you're trying to play fetch with your dog, but they don't know that they're supposed to bring the ball back. I don't feel frustrated when the game breaks, I feel like I'm playing with my pet and while yes, theyre being stupid, I can't be mad at them, because their tail is still wagging.

Story

Can we be so fr. This game's story would be 1000x better recieved if Elise didn't have a romance arc with Sonic. Like, this story is honestly fine. I genuinely like it! I think time travel can be REALLY hard to do, but idk, it was fine! The romance between Elise and Sonic tho, jesus christ it's bad.
Another annoyance in the story is Amy. Her writing has consistantly been terrible up until like, Boom and later Frontiers, because she just didn't have a personality beyond Sonic. But her writing in this is noticeably bad. Specifically saying she would save Sonic instead of the ENTIRE world and that being treated like the "right" opinion???? Like no, I don't actually think the entire world should be destroyed for him. Ugh. Anyway, Mephiles is super super cool, and Silver is one of the best characters literally ever.

Visuals

This may be an unpopular opinion, but the character models in this game are the best in the series. For every character BESIDES the humans. The humans in this game are the only reason the score is so low in this section. The NPCs and Eggman ESPECIALLY. But besides the humans, everyone looks so good!
The proportions and details specifically on these models are incredible. THEY HAVE FANGS!!!!! ITS ADORABLE!!!! And their limbs aren't stubby and weird. They don't look stupid when they cross their arms!! I mean they still kind of do but!!! Unironically these models are PEAK.
Also, okay the worlds are super barren, but idk! It looks fine!!! If the worlds were more filled out (aka if the team actually had time to FINISH THIS FUCKING GAME.) they would have looked great! As of how it is tho, the worlds and levels are serviceable.

Gameplay

Okay. Some people are gonna be a little mad.
Sonic's story in this game is genuinely a 10/10 for me. I REALLY like his gameplay and how he controls. The glitches for Sonic's story never really bothered me, I could go through his story mostly fine with just a few trips along the way. I understand his gameplay is flawed, (specifically his final fight against eggman required me to look up a walkthrough) but when I play this game and think about how much fun I have with it, it almost all comes from Sonic's story. If you don't like his gameplay, you won't like Shadow or Silver's.
Silver's is... passable. His controls are good enough and work consistantly. My main issue with his story came down to the LENGTH of his levels. Specifically Flame Core, oh my god that level takes me SO. FUCKING LONG. Kingdom valley is also a low point for him, but the rest of his story is fine. Yes even the ball puzzle. I know this isn't a good thing that I have to do this, but I just glitch my way through the door blocking the exit. Like yeah that's stupid and shouldn't have to happen but its MY TIERLIST GO MAKE YOUR OWN.
Shadow's story is usually when I get a little burnt out with the game. It's. Fine. My biggest complaint with him are the vehicle sections, where they ALL play like ass. I always kinda celebrate when I get to play him after Silver (I always play in that order) because I finally get to actually FIGHT things. Also, his plot line is the best. His controls are pretty similar to Sonic's but good god the vehicle sections SUCK.
So, all together, the gameplay is fine. It's not even CLOSE to how bad people make it out to be. The controls are 1000x better than Adventure 2 and you can quote me on that. The levels CAN absolutely drag on and OBVIOUSLY there are bad parts that make me baby rage, but this game is fine. If you can emulate it (or have a copy to play physically if ur weird) I HIGHLY recommend because I NEED to know if I'm the only one that thinks this game is honestly fun as fuck.

Soundtrack

I've heard people both say that the soundtrack of this game is the best part and also that it's just as bad. To the people who say it's the best part, I appreciate your opinion. To the people who say it's "just as bad", you're wrong and should feel bad about it.
I. REALLY love the soundtrack in this game. I know saying the main themes of the game are the best is a bit of a cop out, but!!!! dude its His World and Dreams of an Absolution. You're lying if you say the best tracks aren't either the one that says "kickin' ass fast" or the one written about the artist's gay lover.
Even besides those two tracks, there are a LOT of level themes that are AMAZING. I remember a week or so after playing o6, at like 5 am, I was FRANTICALLY looking for the Aquatic Base theme, except I couldn't remember what stage it was (I was... inebriated to say the least) so I listened to every single track and nearly cried when I found it 2 hours later. Anyway it's now one of my favorite Sonic tracks ever.

Favorite tracks His World, Dreams of an Absolution, Aquatic Base -Level 1-, Crisis City

Overview

Forces was the first Sonic game I've finished, yeah I know. And it was pretty recently, like within the past few years. I'm just EXTREMELY bad at platformers man. Anyway, at the time of first finishing this game, I was confused on why so many people HATED this game. After playing some better games since, I can say that I'm starting to see where people's issues arise. Do I think this game is as bad as people make it out to be? No, not even close. But, it's still not GOOD. It's just unbearably mid.
I think it's a REALLY good first Sonic game, but only for younger people. It's a little boring and VERY easy, but it's fine. It's not terrible, it's not a masterpiece, it's fine. If you aren't comfortable with platformers or want a REALLY easy starting game, play Forces. If you're more confident with your abilities and want to start with a better overall game, play Generations.

Story

Ugh.
I'll be honest, the writing kind of ruins any semblance of a plot this game has. The overall plot and overarching story is honestly a really good concept! But god the one-liners and character interactions really hurt this game. It's bad. Sonic's whole prison era was so poorly done. And I really wish his interactions with the self-insert were more earnest and less... forced (funni joke)

Visuals

The visuals in this game are kind of forgettable. Infinite's glitch effect was cool looking! The aesthetic was alright! But overall the game just felt so dimly lit and a little bland. It was servicable.

Gameplay

It's been said a LOT about this game but I'll say it again, this game is VERY easy. And that's coming from me, Mr. "can't play unleashed past the first tornado section" and Mr. "Every game should have an easy mode (STILL A TRUE STATEMENT BTW.)" But I think this is a good thing actually! I don't think every game should be hard or should be the same difficulty level. Forces is kinda MEANT to be a game for younger fans, specifically the autistic ones that want to be friends with Sonic IRL and save the world from a war (me).
What I'm saying is that if this game came out when I was like, 9, it would be my favorite game of all time and I would have played it 1000 times. And I think games like this should exist!! Easy to play and easy to digest games are good! Just not for everyone :)

Soundtrack

This soundtrack didn't really stick with me all that much. The dubstep is REALLY fun and a cool identity for this game but... the cyberspace levels in Frontiers have more memorable tracks. SORRY. Actually I don't think anyone's really that passionate about this soundtrack nvm I'm not sorry LMFAO

Note: I am literally too bad at this game to complete it. My reaction time and motor skills just aren't good enough. A majority of this review is from my passion for the game from an outsider perspective and my childhood memories.

Overview

One of the first things you may notice is how this score is higher than the game above this one. thats for a reason. I adore this game, but I literally can't play it. The reason it's so low on the list is because of my lack of ability to complete it, and the grievances I have with it during the time I did play. If it was just my raw feelings about it, it would be #1. But alas, it's a game, and not just a concept. So, it's down here.
Now, with that out of the way. Let me gush about how much this game means to me. Sonic Unleashed has affected me in so many ways, and I would not be even remotely the same person without it. I am not exaggerating when I say that despite not even attempting to play it until 2023, I have thought about this game at least once a day, everyday, for my entire life. The werehog is my favorite concept/character/form/whatever you want to call him ever. Sonic's relationship with his werehog form has stuck with me for years. Even just the way people talk about this game sticks with me. This strong dislike that has always been around the game, people calling it "weird furry bait" and reducing to nothing but "the beginning of the boost gameplay" and repeating for years that "colors is better" is something I feel almost spiritually connected to. Okay well maybe its not that serious, but I do identify with this game very heavily. The werehog is so me fr fr and I am so him fr fr. Also something something werehog was one of my trans awakenings and also was one of the things that got me into art etc etc. i love you sonic unleashed.

Story

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAGWHAGWHAWGA WEREHOG WEREHOG WEREHOG WEREHOG WEREHOG!!!!!!!!!
HE!!! HE HATES HIMSELF HES SAD AND MAKES NEW FRIEND!!!! HE IS BIG AND SCARY AND CUTE AND DOG AND WEREWOLF!!!!! FRIENDS DONT EVEN RECOGNISE HIM HE LOSES HIMSELF AND CONFIDENCE AND!!!!

I have not finished this game, this review is up for change once I finish it

Overview

I have. A weird relationship with this game. I know this game is mid, I know this game isn't important or popular or whatever, but... I've always really liked it. I've never even played it until recently (mostly because my family just didn't have a wii and I only just now got one in 2024) but I still really like it. Maybe I just really like the aesthetic? Maybe I just really like the concept? Maybe this is all just because I saw the CGI opening as a small child and thought it was really cool. That's probably it. But still, I like this game. Am I passionate about that enjoyment? No, not really. But, I like it, and the gameplay (at least what I've played) is fun and does it's job. All I can really ask out of this fuckass franchise.

I have not finished this game, this review is up for change once(if) I finish it

Overview

This game. ugh.
So, I have never gotten through the hero story of this game. For a GOOD reason. I CAN NOT CONTROL THIS SHIT ASS GAME.
I tried playing the steam port with an xbox controller, it was hell, I could barely get through the 3rd level. So, I researched, and saw some people say it controls better on dolphin emulator, so i set that up and played with my same controller, it was better but still ass. So, I was like "maybe this controller just isnt the right one?" So after I got my own wii and gamecube controller i played it again. and it was WORSE.
idk if im just???? stupid??? but everytime i play this game. I feel like I'm fighting just to move. Sonic either goes 10000 mph or its like pushing a boulder, tail's mech weirdly moves fine but jumping is hell. Knuckles is, for some reason, the easiest to control BY FAR. I never got past green forest. And I probably never will, because I would just rather play adventure 1.

Story

The story of this game is the only reason I even still bother trying to play it. I want to love this game, but I can't. So, I just watch the cutscenes on youtube. The story is iconic for a reason man. Its goofy and stupid as fuck but its so awesome. When it was adapted into sonic x bro? that was the most banger shit in the world. I remember every single story beat despite never playing this game until last year. God its just the perfect sonic story. You really can't get much better.

6/10	?/10	10/10	1/10	6/10

Overview

Realistically, this game, to me, is a 6/10. In my heart, however, this game is a 1/10.
I am the BIGGEST classic sonic hater in the world. That blue rat pisses me off SO MUCH. and this game kinda just cemented that in my mind forever.
I'm sorry, but classic sonic games just aren't fucking good. They aren't designed to be fun, they're designed for a bunch of redditors who miss "le hecking awesome good ol' days" when they were 4 playing sonic 2. This game's level design is frustrating and brought me to tears at certain parts.
The only things that kept me going were 1, the visuals, 2, the soundtrack, and 3, the fact I kept making the joke that I had to finish it in call with my friend.
But the thing I hate MOST about this game is how people talk about it. The fact this came out around the same time as forces was DEVASTATING to the Sonic Fandom Hivemind. This game IS the Hivemind. its the "le hecking chungus awesome classic sonic game that every sonic game should be!!!!" but every time a game is influenced by classic sonic it fucking sucks. I hate the way people talk about this game. I hate the way people treat this game like the "gold standard." I hate that this game is the only one people care about. I hate that 90% of sonic merch is classic sonic because it reminds me of this game. I hate that this game is nothing but nostalgia bait for losers who call women femoids. I. HATE. THIS. GAME.

but yeah idk its like a 6/10 its really not that bad

Story

Is there even a story? idk eggman builds robots and theres the funny ruby thing that comes back in forces and it sucks. who give a shit

Visuals

the visuals and aesthetic of this game is the ONLY thing I will EVER agree with people on. This game is fucking GORGEOUS and genuinely a piece of art. I LOVE the animations and the colors and the sprite and GOD its fucking beautiful. The levels aesthetics are breathtaking and consistently inspired and a genuine treat to look at. This game is a museum level baby sensory video.

Overview

Remember when this game dropped and everyone said this was the best modern Sonic game and that every game should just be like this? And how the 2 modern Sonic games that were compared to each other non-stop were Unleashed and this one, and how everyone said unleashed was weird furry bait and how this one was peak and the best. And now that colors ultimate came out everyone actually had to play this game again and they all realized it's kinda mid/ass and they're all pretending like they've ALWAYS hated it even though everyone who's older that 12 remembers exactly how everyone talked about this game for a decade+ and how much they rode it's dick. Yeah, I do too.
Oh yeah sorry, I'm supposed to be writing a game review. Yeah this game is mid and kind of ass. I've felt that way since it dropped.

Story

This story is fucking terrible. The writing has the "early Roger Craig Smith era writing" curse where every line of dialogue is a one-liner and 4th wall breaking. There's a couple cute lines, I'm honestly still a fan of the copyright joke. And Orbot/Cubot are cute and fun. Also the whole idea of Eggman making an amusement park is really fucking funny.

Visuals

Man, It's a wii game. The Colors (lol) in this game are very vibrant and beautiful and I like the level ideas! But The resolution REALLY hinders this game. It's fine, It's nothing BREATHTAKING but it's still good. I'm not very passionate about the art direction in this game.

Gameplay

Soundtrack

My Colors hatred can subside for a little bit for me to say that Reach For The Stars and Planet Wisp are bangers, but I genuinely don't remember another track. Granted it's been a couple months but usually I pick up on the banger's pretty fast? Idk, it's servicable. It's not my thing I guess :P

Overview

Where do i even begin dawg.
I played this game with my friend right after finishing boom. So my expectations were LOW. I heard growing up that this game was WILDLY mid and was just a mario galaxy clone. So I was expecting a generally boring but fine experience. And up until the Ice world, yeah! Minus the Galaxy clone claim, it is just. Fine. It was kind of enjoyable at times! But that fucking Ice world. Something CHANGED in me.
Every level after starting the Ice world until the end of the game was AGONY. and the GOD FUCKING AWFUL """"STORY"""" WAS ONLY MAKING IT WORSE. This game doesn't teach you any mechanic. This game is trial and error with a coat of paint to make it look cool. This game radicalized me into hating lives in video games. NO game should have limited lives. The second half of this game made me MURDEROUS.
This game is the worst part of classic sonic mixed in with a shitty mario rage rom hack slapped into a CD with some pretty colors and a big sticker on the front saying "Remember sonic from da 90s???? remember badniks?????? you love classic sonic and mario!!!!!!!! you'll LOOOOVEEE this!!!!"
fuck this game

Story

THIS STORY IS THE WORST SHIT I'VE EVER BEEN FORCED TO ENDURE EVER. THIS IS NOT A STORY. THIS IS SOME 5 YEAR OLD PLAYING WITH LEGOS. The deadly six are the worst fucking sonic characters ever and its not even close. They should have been BURNED after this game.
Every character is out of character. Every interaction is stupid and bad. Every joke makes me want to bash my head into a wall. I have held this opinion since this game released. You can not write a worse sonic story than this. I would have preferred 0 story by a mile.

Overview

When starting Sonic boom, I was expecting a Sonic 06 situation. Where everyone complaining was just over exaggerating and was infected with the Sonic Fandom Hivemind Virus. But no, they were completely correct. If anything, I don't think people complain about this game ENOUGH.
This game. holy shit. There was not a single second where I was actually like, GENUINELY happy to be playing. I had a TON of fun playing it, but only because I played it with my friend and we made our own crazy ass story line and we did the knuckles glitch over every obstacle we couldn't be bothered to figure out.
This game is fucking exhausting. every level feels like it goes on for 70 years. the overworld is impossible to navigate. The combat genuinely made me want to rip my eyes out. and the story was so unfathomably boring and mid. Don't bother playing this game. Don't bother paying for a copy of this game. Just watch the TV show.

I have not finished this game, this review is not up for change I'm not playing this shit ever again.

Overview

This is not a remake of colors. This is Sonic colors but they tied it to the back of a truck and drove across the country whilst making sure to kick it in its balls and light its pubes on fire at every gas station.
I bought this game off of ebay for my switch whilst recovering from surgery, I wanted something to do whilst I could barely get up and move for a week. I played this game for 2 hours and never touched it again. I could not get this game to run higher than 15 fps. There are multiple levels where I'm lucky to get it over 10. The visuals of this game make me genuinely mad for how BAD they fucked it up.
This should have never been released. This "game" is the brilliant diamond and shining pearl of the sonic series. where its so obvious they never bothered to fix any of the issues because they know people will buy it, because its the "le epic awesome game they played as kids."

It's the same as the original. I know there's remixes but I could not be fucked enough to listen to all of them and decide whether I like it more or less than the original. I don't even LIKE colors. the remix of reach for the stars is also pretty mid. so whatever man
