The game is good, there’s no doubt about it. That said, the switch version is rougher then it needs to be, especially when considering what Nintendo and other devs have managed to pull out of the hardware. Good story, good and fun environments, and a return to form in every sense of the phrase! Worth a purchase…just not on switch. Cyberspace is also meh, but there’s neat tech if you practice enough.

The game doesn't perform super well. But it's filled with good ideas and great gameplay mechanics. I would recommend it on a different system

Great game! It was fun playing a sonic open world game because most sonic games are very linear.

Ok so this game is great no debate with that. Always been a Sonic fan over a Mario fan and can confidently say that this is one of the better Sonic's since Sonic Adventure 2 in my opinion. However, the reason to why I gave it a 3/5 is not because of the game but because of the Switch Version.
If you want to play this game and only have a Switch, this is your only option. But if you have a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, get it on one of those consoles instead. I love Playstation, but this game looks it's best on the Series X.
I have this game on the Series X and decided since I didn't see anyone complain about the graphics of it on the Switch, that I would get it for the Switch too. The portability just made me get it.
After playing it some on my OLED I thought, wow, this looks terrible. The game is playable and cutscenes are ok, but it feels like I'm playing a PS2 game on a big HDTV and you probably know what that looks like, not great.
If you have a Switch and want to play this game you should still get it because it's a great game, but this game was not made for the Switch in mind so just remember that. Get it on PS5 or Xbox Series X. Cannot stress that enough.
So basically I would not recommend getting this on the Switch. Only get it on the Switch unless you're ok with much lower graphics and performance and that's all you have.

I bought this for my wife and she likes it a lot. It’s a Sonic open world game that kinda reminds me of the game that came out for Sega Saturn. Don’t expect it to be anything like the classic Sonic. The controls take some getting used to.

I always like collecting games on my Switch over other platforms. If you want to get this game buy it on Playstation or PC over the Switch version. There are too many issues with it, but this is probably because the Switch is underpowered.

I bought this for my 7 year old nephew and he loved it. Just based on watching him play, I imagine I’d like it too. It looks like it would appeal to anyone who likes Sonic or open world games.

My seven year old is obsessed with Sonic, and was so excited when he got this game. He plays it on the tv in the living room, and watching him brings me back to the original Sonic I played as a child.

Best Sonic game I have played to date. The music was awesome and the gameplay was great. The only thing that stops it from being a 5/5 is the switch could not handle rendering this game. I’d recommend playing on Xbox/PS5/PC if you’re a hardcore gamer. Isn’t game breaking but will make tasks easier with higher FPS and render distance.
