Rev Up Those Sonic Cycles

[Vipershark]

I played the demo and within 10 seconds of starting the game i instantly disliked it
the first thing i did (even before trying to move) was fully charge a spindash and let go
sonic started moving so fast it was impossible to see what was going on

the controls feel stiff as hell and sonic feels extremely show if you aren't spindashing
it's like they set up everything so that you're supposed to be spindashing at all times and if you aren't, you're playing the game wrong

the run cancel into spindash just reeks of terrible game design, not to mention that the physics of it are completely impossible
there are also those annoying things from unleashed and colors where they randomly put a wall n your way and if you don't know to roll beforehand, you'll instantly stop

as unfortunate as it sounds, after having homing attack in 2.5 sonic games (or at the very least, sonic 3's double jump abilities for sonic) for so long, it feels strange not having any double tap abilities in this game

the game is pretty as hell but everything is extremely blurry at speed so it's not like yo can see it anyway

overall, i'm really disappointed
it seems like we have yet another sonic game with beautiful art assets and (what appears to be) a great soundtrack, yet shitty gameplay.
The sonic cycle continues. :I
