    I'm giving this a 10 to counteract the Dunkey review bombing that is sure to happen.

    Also, I genuinely think this game is excellent and possibly the best 3D Sonic game.

    The game itself is probably a 8 out of 10 but it creates a formula that could make the best game in the series and it fixes the lore of Sonic so I am fully positive about this game

    If you're used to Sonic games or just starting out on fast paced games this is actually pretty fun. I'm only at the beginning right now but I really enjoy it!

    This game has minor issues, but are overshadowed by the amazing creative and love Sonic Team has put into this game.
    The videos online do not do this game justice, you must simply play yourself, as the controls are tight and response as well as fluid.

    This game blows Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild out of the water and sets a new bar for open world games as this one takes crown.

    What made me cry was not only the end, but also how long I have waited for the real Sonic to return.

    This is the Sonic game I've been waiting for since Unleashed and Generations. It's such a great game. It's a little buggy here and there and a little janky but those things don't really bother me I've been a fan for a long time I'm used to that kinda stuff. I hope Sonic Team takes what they've done with this game and improve it for future Sonic Games this formula has so much potential,

    Un des meilleurs Sonic auquels j'ai pu jouer dans ma vie, un super monde ouvert, un Sonic qui possède des mouvements très fluides et maniables comparé aux jeux précédents de la licence, une OST à couper le souffle et une histoire vraiment, mais vraiment bien faite ! Un super retour en force de la part du hérisson bleu !

My issues how ever come with some different things, the cyber space levels need MUCH better physics, the boss fights although cool need much more balancing cause half the time it felt like I was just pressing buttons and a 50/50 shot on if I’d do anything, the “true final boss” is also insanely difficult and can only be played on hard mode. Those were my biggest issues. The best thing about this game by far was the music, a very peaceful feel while running through the open world, but turns up the heat with some awesome metal tracks in the boss fights, absolutely incredible

    A great new direction for the series, with a new fun and enjoyable gameplay formula, finaly an actually good story after over a decade and the best character writting the series has ever seen. And man those boss fights are just AMAZING. Hope that SEGA will be able to go even higher and higher from this point on!

    The idea and vision of the game is absolutely fabulous. In practice, however, the game is brought down by its execution, which you can see through after a short while and then the game has nothing to surprise you with. [Issue#324]

    There is nothing remotely redeeming about this game. Nothing that even the most die-hard loyal Sonic Fans would or should advocate for. I hope that one day someone who cares enough about this franchise could give us something-anything of substance. A fan can hope, can’t they? A fan can hope.

    Finally, after almost 25years of half measures and mostly mediocre titles, Sonic has finally reached the 3D levels of gameplay it needed to reach. Yes, the pop in is absolutely inexcusable and the ancient gatekeeping grindy methods damage the flow of the game for no reason, but a wonderfully built base exists here, with a highly entertaining adventure in wonderfully melancholic world and a surprisingly well founded story, thankfully clean of Sonic’s annoying 3rd tier friends!
