This game is awful.

[Reckless Nice Guy]

Before anyone asks, No, I did not buy it, and no, I have no intention to play it. Why is this piece of poor storytelling and programming on Steam again? Unleashed, which is an actually good Sonic game, would have been a better choice for Steam. And just so we're clear, the mod for Generations doesn't count in the slightest.

yall have some trash taste lmao

Why are you saying that?


Anyway, Lost World had the same flaws of Sonic Unleashed (having a different gameplay without a good level design) but at least the day stages saved some of it.

Lost World, aside from iconic levels such as Honeycomb Highway or Sea Bottom Segue, has not day stage equivalent with a better gameplay...

It also didn't have any of the strengths Unleashed had including the immersive world building, stellar visuals and presentation, memorable NPCs and side quests, experience and upgrade system, ring shop, actually good story and interesting characters as well as being quite the technical achievement for its time.

I was talking about the pure gameplay aspect of the game.

Are you trying to do a damage control?

Anyway yes the game is bad (well, less than Sonic 2006 or Shadow the Edge at least).

They should've ported Colors instead.

Like Peter Venkman Bill Murray once said in Ghostbusters 2 "cats and dogs living together mass histeria...etc.

How do you know the game is awful when you haven't played it?

PS: Mac and Cheese is also bad for health.

First of all: stfu
Second of all: macaroni and cheese doesn't look nor smell bad

Have you ever heard of the phrase "eat with your eyes"? Same is true with a lot of other things in life, including video games. If something looks bad or low quality, it probably is. Looks aren't everything, but it can still give you a good idea on whether it may be worth your time or not.

I don't need to have played it to know the overall quality of the product, and I most likely don't want to either. Life's too short to waste on terrible/mediocre games, especially when there's a lot of truly great stuff out there for me to experience instead.

That's why previews, trailers and screenshots exist, to give us an idea on what a particular game is like before we buy them.

By the looks alone of some screenshots, would this be a good game?

Also what may be pleasing for some may be bad for others because of taste (or because of what someone is used to, so even despite "better quality 3D and textures", if the game dont follow the formula a player want to see this player will not enjoy it, or find it good, despite the better quality graphics).
That is also a matter of "design" where some stuff are made with the purpose of looking dated (like something straight out of the early 90s) like Celeste . . . Sonic Mania, Mario Maker (for the most part of it) .... and all imo still good games despite graphics and presentation being dated for today standards.

To me, looks and story comes second or third (less in case it is an RPG, then story must come first but if gameplay is terrible I dont know if I would force myself to play through it even if the story is awesome).

Absolutely! That's because with the retro art style that it's going for, it's visually interesting to look at and grabs my attention. There's a certain appeal to pixel art that's been lost in a lot of modern games, and many indie games are there to fill in that void. Same reason why I still find a lot of 8/16 bit and PS1 games appealing to look at to this day; the graphical style of these platforms are timeless and stand out in their own unique way that most modern games just simply don't.

As a side note, I saw the reveals of both Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces at around the same time - of the two, I only found Sonic Mania to look interesting in the slightest. Despite Forces having better graphics, Forces failed to grab my attention the same way Mania did, not because it's new and new things scare me, but because they threw in classic Sonic and had so much classic imagery where it didn't belong despite the fact that we already had Mania for that classic nostalgia experience.

That's why I don't even care about the graphics of a game either, because Forces had bar none the best graphics in the series yet is also one of the worst looking Sonic games to date. And it's not because it's not 16/32 bit pixel art - I think Sonic Unleashed is an amazing looking game on the PS3/360 and easily the best looking game in the series, and due to its fantastic art direction, it can hold its own against other games in the genre and grab my attention just by looking at screenshots and trailers the same way Mania did.

Not lying here, I enjoyed Forces to the point I even collected the majority of unlockables, secrets and challenges there ... but I look at gameplay of Unleashed and I dont see myself playing that even for free, someone would have to pay me to make me play that from the gameplays I saw.

What is good and what is awful depend on taste and expectancy.

Celeste is a great game.

(also Lost World is still better than Adventure 2)
