I think this is something Sonic has missed for a long time. The Emerald powers may be a bit weird and gimmicky but again it's just something new. While Fang isn't a new character, he's never served a role in a fully fleshed console game so it's novel. However, I really do like the fact it looks a bit weird and is genuinely just doing something different. I thought initially it looked like a 7/10 and I'm still getting those vibes now. I don't think it looks like it'll be amazing. IMHO, despite them nailing the physics, it looks closer to a Dimps game than it is a Genesis era game or Mania.Īfter spending a lot of time not thinking much about Superstars, I'm now very interested and happy to play it. It's very hard to judge these stages without actually 'exploring' them, which is what could make them very fun in the end.īosses seem slower and more tedious and can't easily be rushed like in the classics unless you use the emerald powers (which just kind of break them, honestly), but I also am seeing some interesting patterns and reasonably well designed mechanics, so your mileage may vary on that. I've also seen a bit more recycled elements that I care for, but again, that might just be a one off so far. I see some gimmicks that I really don't like, but I'm not sure if they're just a very tiny part of the experience, or dominant and will detract from entire levels yet. The problem again comes back to actual stage design, which I'm not yet sold on. Single player is a lot better, even unpatched.Īgain, where things work as intended, the physics seem solid, with the characters each playing as they should. More recent impressions put all of these as co-op only problems. But buyer beware, you may want to avoid playing the game with co-op entirely at least at first, and we have no idea if worse problems are hiding beneath the surface. Again.Īnd we have no idea how widespread this issue will be, how much of it is fixable, and how much of it is a fundamental design flaw. It's quite possible the day 1 launch will be a real mess on some platforms. We're already entering the stage of "pray for a 1 day patch", but if your goal is to go into this unspoiled, I would dare say you might want to be a bit more careful with your purchase. The character animation looks quite nice, at least. There's also some notable visual glitches already being found. The camera system is very glitchy, and major stage gimmicks are actively broken and lead to frustrating deaths at a few points in Pinball Carnival, as one example. The early gameplay leak on ps4 has some major problems with co-op. So I'm just going to warn people here now.
