If you're a Sonic fan you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. This really feels like the next step for Sonic and there's a lot of little love letters to fans scattered into the game from sound design, referencing older games in dialogue, to even some sections feeling like modern recreations of old levels.
It's not a perfect game, the open world sections need some polish so you're not launching off of a slightly angled rock, PC needs some extra settings to customize the graphics and it can be a little jank at times but damn did this feel like Sega is really trying to push Sonic games forward with this. I can't wait to see what they do next with this.

The soundtrack is amazing, I haven't been drawn in to the entire soundtrack like this since Adventure 2 with several Super Sonic tracks the main bosses each felt their own flavor of climatic.
