I'm sure the game is good but I can't even get past the player select screen because keyboard is automatically detected as P1. Kind of insane for a 2019 video game to have such issues with controllers.

Will probably play more but leaving the review as negative forever, because this is a widespread issue and good luck finding a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix.

the most okay sonic game. the levels are fine, the world themes are at the very least interesting. gameplay is also extremely fine and sonic mostly controls well, at least better than some other games (looking at you sonic forces)

story is from "that" era of sonic though so you can just play it and skip the cutscenes because you truly are not missing anything. recommend on sale.

i would lay my life low for fen

the gameplay is mostly fine. the story is forgettable so if you enjoy the gameplay, skipping every cutscene is a possibility. unfortunately, the rest of the game is still tedious, even if the gameplay is palatable

also do not try to 100% the game there are too many stupid sidequests

garoo rocks though

Man, there's a lot to say. Despite fans trying to gas up 06 and saying that it can be redeemed, this is somehow hailed as the worst Sonic game by some. While it's not *that* bad, it's also far from good.

Controls : Momentum makes no sense. 0-100, you just start zooming, you WILL die because acceleration is insane. Classic Sonic controls so bad

Level design : Insanely bland. There's a pulse here and there but you will forget about most of it. Visually pretty though, and some good ideas on that front.

The Avatar stuff : the Avatar is fine, but you are drowned in endless missions, endless pop ups for parts, ranking up??? A lot of weird decisions that just feel outlandish in a Sonic game

Overall, you'd be better served going for literally any other Sonic game. Just a puzzle of a game that I cannot and do not want to solve.

this is a good game and you should play it. the strategy aspect is fun, the mech designs are good (you are wrong if you think otherwise) and i would die for Piper

help my stupid possum wont stop stealing and stuffing his face

it's not a very good beat em up.

props to Wayforward for cobbling this together (or whoever pulled up to get it localized) but you would be better served by just... playing any other beat em up. even from that era, there's better. it just feels clunky and your move array is very limited and not satisfying to pull off.

still the game and soundtrack you remember. unfortunate that SEGA decided to delist it, hopefully this means a repackage or the remaster/remake are close than we think.

the gameplay is fine, the controls are good and the game looks fine (sometimes to its detriment, because it makes it hard to tell what you are actually looking at in terms of enemies and background)

but this progression is insane? either you keep your materials by ending your run prematurely, or you keep pushing with your build, losing everything on death. that works fine in a survival RPG or a game with a hardcore mode but in a roguelike? where the point is to keep pushing forward see how far you can get with your build or to potentially turn around a bad run?

it feels like the game is just at odds with itself, and while i do like a game that tries to spin off its own ideas or augment the game with quirky things, this just isnt it, and you would be better served playing one of this game's contemporaries like dead cells or skul

if you have a tolerance though you might enjoy this niche game, but it certainly is insane and is not for everyone
