A well deserved 30th Anniversary gift. Not only to the fans, but to the franchise itself. The attention to past events, characters being developed and allowed to feel any sort of emotion, an open world where you can finally make use of boost and gimmicks outside a linear stage, and the most enjoyable boss battles in the franchise's past decade. All of it combines into an amazing Sonic game which, until a few days ago, I was avoiding getting my hopes up for.

Sonic Team finally delivered.
