This is the first and will be the last Sonic game I play in it's entirety, at least that's what I'm telling myself now anyways. It's 5am as I write this and I've been up all night at work and am tired, so this review may be a touch more negative than it ought to be. I was quite excited for Sonic Mania, not because I've been a fan of the series for a long time, but because I'd heard it was the best Sonic game in generations, and it was favorably reviewed. It was cool that it was on Switch too, I could play it at home and at work! Well, I'm thankful for that work part because if there was no option to play it where I was getting paid, I would have had a real time getting through this one. My Switch says I played it for 10 or so hours, felt like 100. The graphics and sound are nice, but the level design, platforming and gameplay just aren't fun. Mario kicks Sonic all over the place. The worst part about Sonic is actually playing it, holding to the right and "going fast" is fun, but then that comes to screeching halt and you have to play the thing? I recommend you don't. Pass.
