What players think

The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are good and run at a stable 60 FPS, Story is fun and cutesy, Character models look nice, and DLC Skins is a nice touch-on.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay itself also is super messy; the level design isn't terrible (and can be pretty fun at points), however none of the levels feel *as* tightly designed in other games and the gimmicks can sometimes detract *greatly* from the levels (that *damn* insta-kill mechanic in Press Factory Act 2 can go die), plus the levels don't really work that well for the multiplayer due to how easy it is to outrun all of your co-players, something that *shouldn't* be an issue in a game primarily marketed as a *multiplayer* experience.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
+ majority of the soundtracks are good ( few of my fav are Menu Music, Speed Jungle Act 1, Lagoon City Act 1, Golden Captital Act 2) Lagoon City Act 2 stick out the most for me its one of my fav Sonic stage songs feels like Tidal Tempest from Sonic CD
