The main battle theme is only bad by virtue of being used for nearly every drat fight in the game.

Also, you rarely get to hear more than the beginning of the song, which gets really old really fast.

Ah, yes, signage easter eggs in a real world setting, just like in the smash hit video game adaptation, Super Mario Bros.

I can't tell if this post is serious.

I think people want a good Sonic game, there is one game among these that would be a sequel to a good sonic game.

I think the point is more that the Sonic fanbase is badly, badly fractured and as a result it's really hard to please one group without disappointing another. There are fans out there who weren't even born when Sonic & Knuckles came out, and genuinely don't give a poo poo about Sonic Mania. I know it's hosed up, I know they're wrong, I know his name is ROBOTNIK, goddamn it, but they're still out there, giving Sega their money.

Just personally speaking I grew up in a Nintendo household, so 2D Sonic gameplay holds little nostalgia appeal to me. I think I would genuinely be happiest if Sega one day learned to actually iterate on the few times it got 3D Sonic close to right and somehow released a great new Sonic Adventure or something, with tight gameplay and an engaging story. It likely won't happen, but it's nice to dream.

Sonic Jump and Sonic Runners are Android and I've not touched em.

I gave Sonic Dash a spin because of this post and dear lord, you forgot to mention how utterly ad-riddled the game is. Banner ads at the bottom, game urges you to watch ads to gain rings, gotta watch ads to upgrade your character, given a choice between paying gems or watching an ad to build a treehouse for bird or something, ads play after every mission... Apparently doing a cash purchase removes some but not all of them, which is wild.

But how else am I supposed to get Chaos Drives if I can't repeatedly blow up the first corridor of Eggman's first level?

You're in luck! For only $4.99 you can get the "Newcomer Bundle" that includes 50 of every Chaos Drive, 10 Black Market Passes, 5 Animal Lures, a Chaos Orb, a Hero Orb, a Dark Orb, a 30-Day Garden Key, one S-Rank Guaranteed Summon Ticket, 100 Paid Gems, and an exclusive Knuckles Hat!

Lol, that poo poo runs you $65 these days. Mobile gaming is a loving cesspit.

I'm describing the one-time offer that gets you to enter your credit card info so you'll make $65 impulse purchases later. :ssh:

Rubbish to not have a proper ending though. Bunch of good ideas, better than it needed to be.

It breaks my heart that the game ended up so bad, because I still enjoyed the battle gameplay and writing a fair bit. It was nice to see the writers take a crack at making a coherent story out of modern Sonic's big cast and accumulated weird game lore elements. It's not a thing you see often outside of fanfic and spinoffs like the comics, you know?

my theory is that they gave Time Eater lovely music on purpose to encourage you to use the in-game jukebox and pick your favorite theme song from the other games to play over the fight instead.

I'm still so mad that they didn't use the Crush40 vs. Cash Cash version of Sonic Boom for it. That would have been such an easy nostalgia slamdunk! It would have neatly tied together all three eras they split the stages into! And they fumbled it.

Because a Chao Garden gacha mobile game will infuriate people, regardless of how much of a no-brainer it is.

Yeah, it's an obvious fit but it's not something anyone actually WANTS, regardless of how much they think they do. Like every single gacha game based on a popular franchise, it would suck all the fun and charm out of it and wear what remains as a horrible disguise.

Except for the final battle that is (I somehow S ranked it a while back and I STILL don’t know how to do that fight properly)

The "proper" way to do it is to That looks like a homing shot. Be careful, Sonic!

How many franchises has Monster Hunter crossed over with at this point (off the top of my head there’s Metal Gear, Megaman, and now Sonic)?

To add to the ones people already said, there's also a full-on Rathalos battle and mount in FFXIV.
