Took a little getting used to but overall, this game is really fun. much better than it's previous titles since Generations and Mania,(although with Mania it was strictly 2D classic gameplay. so it wouldn't really count here) This is something fresh with a mix of old. I say mix of old because of the Cyberspace stages, while they aren't like previous title's "Press boost to win" gameplay, the levels are expansive while also being Linear having multiple paths to run through to find hidden red rings and shorter paths for better times. I'm a huge sucker for open world games with alot to run around and do, so the "hub world" if you can call it that, is a huge plus in my book.

The combat system is a bit lackluster because with one of the skills you unlock being "Auto combo" which essentially boils the game down to "Mash till dead" but with the fluidity of fighting and variety in bosses and mini-bosses it really isn't bad.

Overall, with being a little more than half way into the game. so far my rating is 6.5-7/10.
