Haven't played it yet, might return sometime when I do and give my thoughts.
>>24258>They say while still playing that plumber game where they added the Rabbids for some fucking reasonNah jk obviously, it doesn't matter what games people enjoy :D
Thermonuclear-grade take incoming: there is no such thing as a "bad" Sonic game except maybe for some 90s spinoffs, Sonic 2006 and Sonic Boom No.24340
OK, so I just finished the main story of the game. To sum up my thoughts on it: it's the best Sonic game ever
What I liked:
>gameplay is fun
>love the open-world style with short levels (which unlock keys that are needed to progress through the story)
>the open-world is fun to explore and travel through
>love the design of the enemies (you're not fighting Egg Robots this time)
>combat is cool, and you get to unlock cool combat abilities
>side characters are more interesting (also, I love Sage's design)
>soundtrack is god-tier (even for a Sonic game)
>story is compelling
>lots of references to previous Sonic games and lore
>seriously, even the simple fishing minigame is fun
Only complaints I have so far:
<game is somewhat short (it took me about 14h to finish the story while doing a decent amount of side stuff), but it's not Sonic Forces short
<ending is underwhelming
<grinding Speed and Ring levels seem to serve no fucking purpose whatsoever
<French dub (except Eggman's and Sage's) is kinda meh to me (especially knowing the same VAs did the voices in Sonic X)

>>24350My uygha we can have both. I want more Mania-esque stuff but also want to see what they can do with this new formula. IMO ditching the boost stages (seriously, Cyber Space blows. How have they *regressed* in boost gameplay? Gens was perfect) and focusing on momentum-based movement in a more interesting open world is the way to go.
>>24340IMO the part with Eggman at the end is really touching.

>>24575>I want more Mania-esque stuffI have a confession to make: I don't really get what's so great about the OG trilogy and Mania. To be precise, I like them but when it comes to 2D I prefer Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush Adventure.
>IMO the part with Eggman at the end is really touchingI agree. By the way, I feel like he has a bit more personality than in previous games. Kinda reminded him of his portrayal in Sonic X.

>>24611>"Sonic is a kid's franchise">proceeds to complain about it not meeting Sonic fans' standardsWhy do you care? Kids are just a target demographic for out-of-touch bougies and their marketing dogs to market their products to. If it doesn't suit your tastes that's fine but treating the demographic appeal as something sacred when you're not even a part of the target audience (and even when you are) is kinda spooked.
>>24257I cannot give a comment on a quality of a game I haven't played unfortunately. But it seems badass with the Hedgehog May Cry mod installed and the OST is amuzingly similar to that of Metal Gear Rising of all fucking things.
>>24368>Thoughts on Robo Blast 2 ?Me and the egoist telekommunist council approve its GPL-licensed source code. And it using Doom's engine is awesome.

No.28138
>>28137>Sonic has always been edgy, but more playfully rebellious and not full shadow-with-a-gun edgyFleetway's Sonic is actually edgier than regular Sonic, ranging from a snarky sarcastic brat to a homicidal maniac. Albeit he's more like Dante and Carnage rather than being grim all the time and having no sense of humor like Cable or Punisher, he's more eccentri. And Sonic the Comic was being printed starting from the 90s, no less. It's a fairly old trend. Whether it helps with making people treat Sonic seriously is a different question.

>>28138There are, like, a bajillion interpretations of Sonic.
