    Its 2023. And in my personal opinion, this game is still one of the best games to blow some steam off or to just reminisce on the older sonics. This game has surpassed boundaries for its time. The were-hog stages are an interesting concept though. And I will admit, they took way too long to complete. Something felt off with the enemy too, almost as if they did not want to fight.

This game has surpassed boundaries for its time. The were-hog stages are an interesting concept though. And I will admit, they took way too long to complete. Something felt off with the enemy too, almost as if they did not want to fight. You also had a set combo list to your arsenal. Either you use em' or you don't. You do eventually unlock new moves but then its all the same again. Finding all the day and night medals were a pain too. Yet with all these setbacks, I think SEGA struck pure gold with every other aspect of the game. The story isn't as bad as these critics say it is, the music is outstanding and the hub lobbies are pieces of art. You feel unstoppable while dashing through obstacles and enemies. Again, the medals were a pain to get but lets say you aren't actively hunting them. The day stages are nothing short of a destructive joyride. Unfortunately though, SEGA completely wasted that final boss fight. I saw so much potential with that, especially with super sonic. Overall, this game does have its ups and downs and it was an absolute blast for me.… Expand

    Não tenho nem muito o que comentar, é 10 na lata, zerei mais de 4 vezes e em 3 plataformas diferentes, simplesmente a masterpiece da era moderna do ouriço, musicas fenomenais, fases marcantes e personagens memoráveis, historia simples porém interessante e mesmo as fases do werehog são muito legais e diversifica bastante a gameplay, é GOTY

    As much as I disliked lumbering through levels as Sonic’s hulky Werehog, I disliked hunting through the hub worlds looking for coins even more. Sega, if you really want to fix Sonic, the first thing you should do is stop trying to fix him.

    Ultimately, this simply isn't the fresh start Sonic fans were so desperately hoping for...but at least it's not as execrable as the last two efforts.

    Sonic Unleashed is a glorious return to true console form for Sonic.
