With 45 story acts, there are very few I can remember as being unique in level design or gameplay, other than the few that heavily rely on the Wisps for help. I couldn’t tell you what happened in each world or what I actually accomplished after each level. The game also feels very samey throughout. Knowing there are no stakes, and the fact Tails can also return you to the exact spot you died – not even the checkpoint – meant I cared a lot less about learning the layout of the level or understanding the best way to get past an enemy. I understand not wanting to make players frustrated with a difficult level, but not even giving me the option to make the game harder made it far more boring. This makes rings pretty useless unless you’re interested in getting an S rank, and it means you will keep respawning at your last checkpoint until you win. One of the biggest issues I personally had with this game was the complete removal of lives and game overs. It never felt gratifying getting to the end of the level, which is something I’ve felt with previous games, like Sonic Mania. With my PS4 controller, however, Sonic was floaty and awkward to control. I remember the original actually feeling better to play on the Wii compared to the PS4, as the motion controls gave the gameplay a little more innovation. I was either watching Sonic run without participating, or trying to get him to jump over spikes.Īnd I could forgive the platforming if it was easier to control. The feeling of speed is missing, even when you boost it feels like you don’t ever get to go that fast, and there are some levels that even have Sonic automatically running forward in the intro for a ridiculous amount of time. There are a few sections that are undoubtedly fun, when you can rush forward and appreciate the interesting backgrounds, but a lot of the time you’re constantly stopping and navigating awkward platforms. As someone who remembers playing the original version of Sonic Colors over a decade ago, I can say that it feels about the same.įor a character renowned for his speed, it really feels like Sonic spend a lot of time platforming and waiting around in this game. Since the story is rarely why you pick up a Sonic game, you want the gameplay to really shine.
