I'm not a huge fan of the post-Rush, "boost" era Sonic games, and I really appreciated how this game swapped the boost out for the spindash. It's also gorgeous and alot more challenging than the average series entry out of the gate.
However, finishing the game currently and am suffering death by 1000 cuts. The lock-on and wallrun mechanics are horrifically janky and clunky. Checkpoints are placed out so thoughtlessly that it starts to feel like a practical joke. The double jump and kick moves serve little purpose other than to frustrate you on the rare occasions they are required.
The worst offense of all is the same as in Colors and Forces - the GARBAGE, filler 2D segments. The movement was not designed for 2 dimensions, and the lack of momentum physics feels awful. Feels like the devs keep filling 50% of the games with this cheap shit and it robs the core mechanics from ever getting a real chance to shine. Sad!
