This game is very much genuinely amazing. Each game turns into a Mini-D&D Session with your friends as you see what insane strategies will be afforded to you this time between card level-ups, deck-building, & abilities granted. Been doing weekly sessions with friends & each time is a different flavor of "Oh, I'm STRONG now" & "Oh you can do THIS? ", its been fantastic.

The extra patches put in have also been great, being able to see Future Enhancements of cards when selecting them is a helpful addition.

I know at this point there's still more work being done & I'm not done yet myself, but man I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes & hopefully I can get more friends interested in the game myself!

This is, by far, the worst Mainline Sonic Game I have ever played. Are there worse? Yeah, there's the Boom Games, & Chronicles isn't that good. But for big releases, the next hyped-up game? This is bottom of the barrel. Ignoring the extremely shoddy port job done by SEGA Europe that did such things as didn't make the textures/UI nicer for the PC release, made the new Wisps feel bad to play, & The baffling implementation of the Hint System coming from the Wii U's not-as-intrusive version, the controls of this game feel... not fun.

Sonic's Basic Movement is mostly fine, but the Homing Attack changes such as letting it charge up or using a Kick instead don't feel useful or actively get in the way, particularly in Boss Fights. The Parkour Mechanics end up feeling much more clumsy, more than the 3DS Version SOMEHOW, which can lead to death or just staying safe most of the time.

The Level Design is as Mario as it gets, except even badly-designed Mario Levels are more often a better delight to play. Add in later levels with no thematic consistency to the world your in & gimmicks such as "Guide this Apple", "You're a Snowball now", & "Use the worst Wisp we've ever created, MAGENTA RHYTHM, to mash A on some easily done path". make it a slog the whole way through.

I'd comment on the story, but like. There shouldn't be anything to say. Its just bad & Uneventful outside of Eggman threatening to strangle a Zeti.

Play ANY other Sonic Game, unless you just have Mods you wanna try.
