Gameplay

144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The water and flying sections feel very slippery to control and make the gameplay even simpler with how they remove drifting in favor of other methods to get boosts which are simpler.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's flashy, it is really well optimized, the soundtrack is pure electricity.. so how can't I recommend it?
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also you can play split screen and play with friends online in same time.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roster whilst having some holes for more devoted Sonic fans, is broad and has most of the faces you would be familiar with, as well as the a variety of guest characters.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Cross worlds does a great job filling in the blanks for previous entries in the Sonic racing series; from the visuals to the roster to how satisfying and exciting it is to race and control oneself, this game thoroughly outdoes its predecessors.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanic is accessible but the skill ceiling is shockingly high with certain builds.
