Worth buying?

Is this game (still) worth playing? If so, should I get the standard edition or deluxe edition?

The game itself is decent and worth playing if you're a Sonic fan. The remaster, not so much. Even now there are many bugs and issues that never existed on the Wii version and looks worse overall mainly due to the excessive bloom. The PC version has zero graphics settings whatsoever, which also means you cannot disable the bloom.

They also replaced the original lives system with a new Tails save system where he rescues and puts you on solid ground if you fall, making an already easy game even easier. You also cannot change it back to the old lives system unlike Sonic X Shadow Generations. They even removed multiple save slots, limiting you to just one when you had 6 on Wii.

If you have access to a Wii console, I wouldn't even bother getting either the Standard or Deluxe Editions. While the Movie Sonic skins are nice and all, that still doesn't make it worth getting IMO especially given how bad the remaster itself was. I'm still finding Wii copies for about a quarter of the price of this remaster in retro game shops and online.

Isn't there a mod which fixes the issues on PC?

Very worth it! I really don't get the negativity towards the remaster. I'm having a blast and thankfully no bugs yet, but honestly what game doesn't have bugs? I guess I say this because I never played the Wii version (wasn't really a sonic fan back in the day) so I can't really compare, but still I don't think it looks or plays bad. If you like Sonic then you're going to enjoy it. Honestly from what I understood from my research is that the Sonic fans are all over the place when it comes to what's good or bad. It's like they can't make up their mind or maybe there's too many fans with different likes. The reason I say this is so that you choose what you think you'll like to play and take advice from Sonic fans with a gain of salt. Hope that helps! Have fun!

Im willing to say that yes, its worth it
If you dont like the looks, there is rainbow mod (I think thats how it called)
The install is super easy and besides - there's a mod to play as Shadow

Nevertheless, the music is awesome, lots of levels, you can unlock Super Sonic

The only downside is - the game is pretty easy unless you going for All S Ranks
