Why is it so hated? Its literally the soulless "power of friendship" formula with the hallway gameplay that the franchise has done for the past 2 decades, I feel like the reason why its seen as such a bad game is because all of the faggots that defended the past games have grown up.

Probably because it doesn't feel like there's any ambition or love in it. Sonicfags cling a lot to that to justify liking mediocre or bad games, even if they stretch out the definition of ambition/love, it's more what sparks their flame, so to speak.

literally sovlless
at least boom had soul

Because people waited for it for 4 years and the previous game is the disgrace known as lost world, also it promised to go back to having a story and being serious but it didnt, they lie about that also classic sonic for no reason.

Classic stages have abhorrent physics
Modern stages are forgettable
CaC stages were sorta neat
Its clear most of the dev time went to the custom character. Game should have been built entirely around them with Sonic as an unlockable alternative with a fixed skillset and jacked up stats.

>its a 5/10 game that's as good as every other 3D sonic game

That's your answer, it's so painfully mediocre the only upside is it only wasted 4 hours of your time

>holy shit look at the setting think of all the drama and shit we are going to get
>lol no here are your boring 1 minute long stages, world building?, character development?, never heard of it.

They addressed the complaints that modern Sonic games are too short without addressing the cause of that being that the huge levels take up too much memory, so instead of just a few decently sized levels, you're running through like 50 levels that are all over in less than a minute while also only running through only a small amount of actually unique biomes and often also running through the same level sections

And what little character there is is fucking horrible like tails presenting his ass in fear, knuckles sending hundreds to their deaths off screen for a joke, or silver doing literally nothing why is he even in this game

That's not an answer though, colours was as if not MORE medicore then forces and everybody sucked its dick
