This is one of those games where I wish there was a mixed recommendation option on Steam. While I don't hate the game, it's nowhere near as good as most of these reviews make it out to be. Honestly I was extremely skeptical buying this and I'd be lying if I said the very positive reviews didn't sway me but let's face the facts. This game is in DESPERATE need of a day 1 patch if not multiple patches over a short period of time. The pop ins are embarrassing to say the least and while you don't always notice them, when you do it's pretty jarring. People saying the graphics are gorgeous? That's a stretch. I'm playing this on the highest settings possible in 2560x1440p with a 2070 Super and an Asus Predator XB271HU monitor yet it still looks like your typical dated Sonic game. It's fuzzy, textures are nowhere near as good as they should be, and the rain looks absolutely horrendous. This game actually looks better using TAA instead of FXAA. But I digress, it's still pretty bad. Despite that though I will admit people mentioning how great the soundtrack is aren't lying. It's pretty damn good. Maybe that's because I'm still fresh in the game and I haven't grown tired of the music yet but hopefully the game doesn't recycle the same songs after a while and manages to keep things fresh. Combat wise it's decent. It's definitely interesting but I can see myself getting bored of it after a while. There's not too much going on in terms of the skills and abilities you unlock to keep this aspect of the game flowing. To each their own though, I'm sure some of you will disagree but this is just my take on it. When it comes to exploration I can't put too much of an opinion on the matter due to the amount of time played before writing this review but maybe I'll update it. That being said it's fun. Despite my complaints I can't seem the put the game down. Though lack of a chao garden is a completely missed feature and I'm sure would have been such a great addition to this open world direction Sonic Team has gone. It's a shame it wasn't included. I just hope exploration doesn't grow stale due to repetition. Story is alright from what I can tell so far. It's nothing special. I'm on the second island and the pacing is extremely slow. There hasn't been any plot development yet and despite progressing through an entire island I still have no clue what's really going on or why I ended up where I am. Even interacting with Sonic's friends have given me little to no insight on the matter. I'm hoping this changes soon. Voice acting isn't all that either. Sonic's VA especially just doesn't hit right for me and I can't see myself ever growing to like it. Nothing against him personally, I just feel the tone in his voice does not fit Sonic. But again, this is my personal opinion and I'm sure others will agree or disagree. The other cast itself is definitely a mixed bag. Anyway in truth this game definitely gives me MIXED feelings. It's not completely awful, but it's also not as amazing as people here have claimed. Is this truly the BEST Sonic game that's ever been released? No, and that's a bold statement to claim. Is it worth full price? Absolutely not. This is easily a wait for sale at $30 or under type of game. Honestly at times it feels like a tech demo for what's to come in future Sonic games. I'd say it's mediocre at best and while I enjoy it I also think it's missing a whole lot more that could have really made this game shine. But patches are an absolute MUST that need to come within the following weeks because there's plenty of things including the pop ins that I had mentioned earlier that need to be corrected.Show moreShow less

!! Sega please remove Denuvo !! Denuvo forces you to have an internet connection or you can't play the game, and let's not forget the 24hr lockout. Especially for Steam Deck and laptop users that do not always have internet access, it is the biggest problem with the game now. Will recommend the game once it is removed.Show moreShow less

Edit: Finally, just go watch VideoGameDunkey's Video on this game. Thank you Dunkey for showing how "Good" this game really is. Original Review: I have to wonder if I'm witnessing Mass Stockholm Syndrome with the reaction to this Sonic Game. How badly has Sega hurt Sonic fans that THIS is considered a step in the right direction?! I'm genuinely flabbergasted that people are as accepting of this and that the justifications I've heard that it's "Good for a Sonic game" is how people are swallowing this horse sized pill. Big Ooof. I've only completed the first Island thus far but I have to say, everything about this feels wrong. I swear, there doesn't seem to be any actual DESIGN when it comes to the world building, the pop in for the floating rails and platforms that don't exist until you are already committed to the movement is a travesty. This game clearly did not start as a Sonic game during initial development and feels like it was pitched as something else and Sonic was bolted onto it. This is further evidenced by how the cyber zones seem to be using the old sonic control styles as if ripped from those respective games. And the Story, oh man, the story is one hot piece of mess that gives nothing to you as the player for thus far the first 5 hours. (Not that I truly expect a good story from a Sonic Game besides, HEY LOOK, IT'S TAILS AND AMY, MEMBER THEM?!? WE GOT GREEN HILL ZONE!) The mini-games and little "puzzles", if you can call them that, are just cheap button prompt style mindmelters. This is a hot mess and I plan on finishing it, if only to see if it "gets better". But I have to say I don't recommend this, if only to show a little dissension in this "But it's a GOOD game" mentality Here's the update now that I'm on Island 3: I get it, you get something that is way more passable then Forces and you wanna praise it and give it all your monies. That's your right. But lambasting about it being GOOD and letting all the things slide that make it NOT GOOD, is just laughable. How many times did you get forced to watch sonic get blue lightning before you wanted to rip your hair out? Or the cutting grass minigame to get a Chaos emerald to watch Sonic.....Dance? (The first time I saw this cutscene was enjoyable even if I hated the minigame, but then they kept using it, pretty much like all the reused cutscenes.) Seriously, I gotta be crazy if I'm the only one pointing out this ♥♥♥♥. This game does so many different things instead of focusing on a more core gameplay that the bad outweighs the good at this point. Are you telling me that the boss fights are FUN? Did the J-Rockesque music drop and you just couldn't help but be hyped and miss that actual gameplay of the fights,ya know, that you just have to hold the two shoulder buttons and then press the Button prompts on the screen after you auto parried? My gripe with the characters being used as plot devices wasn't clear before but atleast they aren't as grating as they have been in the past Sonic games. I still find their involvement simply a nostalgia nod to past sonic. (Hey! Dat's Sonic and Knuckles da game in that dialogue!) Did you like going to Chemical Plant zone during the cyber space missions 6 separate times? All ripped from previous Sonic games? Did you like that the "stats" you were getting in one section of the game were literally removed for the other segments of the game? There is NO cohesion to this game, just a lot of little "gameplay" things to tie into one big game. Sonic Generations WAS a love letter to Sonic Fans....this is just them trying to be 5 other games at once, doing none of those games well enough to stand on it's own.Show moreShow less

It isn't often I consider writing reviews but the release of this game is so peculiar to me because I have to really wonder what alternate reality I fell into and if I even played the same game as other people giving near perfect/outright perfect reviews to this title. +Immediately what stood out to me and what I enjoyed the most out of the game was its soundtrack. While a lot of the music isn't what I would attribute to a Sonic title, I still enjoyed a lot of it on its own merit. My only wish was for more remixes of past, lesser visited themes. +While the story is extremely basic/lacking, the writing of dialog and the characterization is mostly ok/good. Flynn is good. More story cohesion with the narrative would have been appreciated. +Movement is more or less decent and serviceable. Some gripes/differences from previous boost games but ultimately it is minor and not the worst part of the game. +The actual stages are what I enjoyed playing, along with the world bosses. They are pretty much the only content I was playing for, which leads into... -The absolute tedious, busy work of the overworld. So much padding and collecting things...to just collect more things, repeatedly. Extremely repetitive. -The overworld itself. Completely uninspired and terrible, there was no love in its crafting or attention to detail or charm. Something that looks like stock assets and then they just salt and peppered random obstacles all over the place and called it complete. The few unique challenges were cute diversions, but only just. They could not justify the free roaming mechanics that borrowed a lot of inspiration from different other games (namely BOTW) without understanding -why- it was designed as such. Just left me wanting for the charm of Unleashed or Colors. -Horrible UI/menuing. Trying to quickly navigate/do an extremely routine action was made tedious by animation delay/inconvenient order (upgrading, quick restarting of a stage to name my main gripes). -The extreme pop in is a given. Terrible. -The pinball minigame is awful. -Finally, the true end boss was extremely lackluster, underwhelming and anticlimatic. If it was part of a multiphase boss fight, it wouldn't be bad at all, but that isn't the case. Followed by 3 QTEs. That's it. Something I would not expect from a Sonic title. There's probably some thoughts I'm missing but ultimately these are the biggest sticking points in my mind. It's a really, really rough game and this implementation of open world for Sonic did not work. I only played this to completion because it was bought for me by a friend who wanted me to stream it for our friend group as a source of punishment entertainment. If you really wanted to play this, I would wait for an extremely deep discount.Show moreShow less
