This game really surprised me.

It quickly became one of my favourite games in the horror genre in recent memory.

The writing for the story and the characters were very well done, making an engaging story with mystery throughout, as well as characters that all were fleshed out with their own personalities that made interacting with each of them really great.

The scary bits were, imo, scary, but they didn't overstay their welcome, they weren't constant jumpscares that made the fear feel cheap, they were slowly built up with enough room to breath inbetween scares for you to calm down. Too many horror games cause you to feel desensitized to the scares within an hour of playing, but this didn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and both hope and look forward to future content that comes from not only this game, but this developer.

I love u Mita

This is a really weird review to make for me.

I've 100%'d the game, it took me only 20 hours, but I still am very hesitant to recommend this game.

The games controls are janky and floaty, it's got horrible pop in issues, the voice acting of half the characters is not great, and it just feels like a confused game. Even leveling up your speed and ring capacity takes an absolutely abhorrent amount of time getting to max. Each level takes 5-10 seconds to do, and there's 99 of each to upgrade. That's 15-20 minutes alone of mashing X / A just to upgrade skills.

That being said, if you can get past those issues, there are many moments of enjoyable exploring and platforming, Sonic, Eggman and the new character have some great moments in the story and I felt like I wanted to see more of them. (Amy, Knuckles and Tails were okay too)

The music is pretty great throughout, with songs that I'll likely listen to outside of the playing the game, and the general ambience felt great.

The first few hours were fun, then hours 3-10 were miserable, I hated my time with it and was so frustrated by the controls and how awful parts of the game were, from hour 10-20 I enjoyed the game more and more as I played it. I'm not sure if that's because of the story, or if I got used to the games awkward janky controls, but I ended up finishing it and enjoying myself a good amount.

If you're a Sonic fan, there are a *load* of references to previous games, which is always nice to see, almost every other line in dialogue is a reference to a previous game, even less loved games like Sonic Forces.

Because of all the reasons together, if you're a big Sonic fan and have been disappointed by previous games like Forces, then this one is a step in the right direction and you'll likely come to enjoy it, but if you aren't a big Sonic fan, then I'd give this game a miss until it's on sale.

I'd mark this game as "Mixed" if that was an option, but sadly it isn't.

Even with the mixed review here, I will still buy any future story DLC as I came out of it looking positively on the game.

In its current state, this game is most definitely not worth the price.

Constant crashes, constant bugs and incredibly poor performance, even running on a super beefed up machine it still has consistently bad frame drops.

The story is fun, the gameplay is not, its not scary.

The best part of this game is the Art, Character Design, and Music.

The game runs abysmally and I cannot defend the price point nor the fact its a "fully finished" game.

If you really want to see what happens here, watch a stream or a youtube playthrough, do not buy this game, it isnt worth it.

Wait half a year and see if there's any patches that have been released.

This isn't even talking about the cut content from the game and how so much feels like its missing.

This ain't worth it.
