Good co-op game, easy to get used to the mechanics and controls, beginner-friendly. Once the optimized cycle is figured out for the levels, 3 stars can be easily achieved.

Controls will feel weird if you're very used to Sonic Generations and Sonic Unleashed day-time Sonic controls, Sonic can feel very stiff and slow, whether this is enjoyable or not depends on how good you think the Sonic Generations/Unleashed controls are, and whether you think boosting is too strong or not in that game. Other than the controls, everything else is mostly good! The characters in the game are not written to only be comprehensible by children, they actually have depth! The story is somewhat cliché but it's not too predictable. Regarding the "open world" concept, it's fun to explore and roam around the world, however, a mini map would be nice to have because you can easily get lost when trying to reach the objective. Nevertheless, it's still fun roaming around the world, the enemies and mini bosses are fun to fight against, and the objects like springs and rails are fun to interact with. There's never a dull moment in the game.

smol tip: you can easily get max rings by spending 4-10 seconds doing mini Cyloops, getting max rings will grant a huge speed increase when boosting which make travelling around quicker, it also feels more awesome zooming around :)

good.

My first "proper" review, yayy...

If you like grinding to beat up other players in PVP mode with god-like weapons and gears (or sick skills), or level up to plow through sections you used to struggle in in PVE mode, then this game is for you, otherwise, you would probably quit after an hour or two, and that leads us to our first point.

Since the game, in my opinion, is not beginner-friendly, unless they got an experienced player guiding them for the first few hours, newbies will definitely get put-off the moment they got transferred onto the tower, with all the people running around and icons flashing everywhere, players will certainly feel disoriented trying to figure out what to do next in order to progress further into the game. I got several friends to try out the game and they all gave me the same question: "What do I do next?", I feel like the game should have a better guiding/tutorial system to assist new players, I'm sure if that was the case, the game would be even more popular now! Speaking of new players, the game recently went FREE TO PLAY, so people are flooding into the game like crazy, and that also brings us to the next point.

When I first tried out the game with my friends, we regularly encountered server problems, resulting in us getting kicked out of an ongoing game, which really killed the fun, imaging almost winning a PVP competitive match, and then everyone got kicked out because the server couldn't handle the load... With that being said, Bungie obviously did not expect the game to get so many players in such a short period of time, resulting in some poor souls experiencing frequent server crashes and leaving a bad taste in their mouth. Though I'm not sure if they have improved the servers or not, but I have experienced less server issues lately, but that might just be luck, who knows.

In conclusion, the game is fun and enjoyable if you know what you're doing. Even though it could be confusing for beginners, I strongly recommend you trying out the game (the game is huge though, so make sure you have the space on your drive), but just make sure to get a friend who has experience to guide you through to make the journey a whole lot smoother as well as improving the overall experience.

this game is gud, one of the best sanic game in ma opinion
