They were certainly bad at the game and the co-op multiplayer just simply does. not. work. but the level design, especially in the back half, is easily the worst in the series. Really bad bosses. Terrible Sonic 4-esque music. Nonsensical story/cutscenes.
Did something happen this morning?
Feels like that's the rule more than the exception when it comes to Sonic games.
emulating Sonic 2's final stages
Copies are leaking out, and people are playing the game
How did it go from "all the previews say its really good" to "worst game this year?"
Which Mario are you referring to?
This is an actual person, not a journalist/influencerHow did it go from "all the previews say its really good" to "worst game this year?"
Like I said, people are gonna be split.
What's the difference though? Would journalists/influencers not jump at the chance to point out that a Sonic game is bad if it's bad?
Some of the previews were saying how it felt not enjoyable and felt low budget though.How did it go from "all the previews say its really good" to "worst game this year?"

Eh, I don't play enough Sonic games to know for sure but reviewers seem to rate Sonic on a "more accurate" or "less inflated" scale than other games honestly. I could see this game being pretty good and still getting a 79, which is not what usually constitutes as "pretty good" on Metacritic.

Sunshine. And I say this as a Sunshine enjoyer, but i think it's fairly obvious how they absolutely rushed that game out the door because they figured "surely something with Mario on the cover can save the Gamecube." Which of course didn't work out for them.
oh noooooo
arzest x sonic team. hell collab
geezPreviews always say a game looks awesome.
Balan Wonderworld hands-on preview: Platform fantastique
We recently took our first steps into the magic theatre of Balan Wonderful for an early sneak peek. Come see if this theatrical short is enough to entice you to the main event.
Same guy gave it a 6/10 a month later.
And a few months later in this same guy's 5/10 review...
Balan Wonderworld Review - Noisy Pixel
Noisy Pixel's Balan Wonderworld review from developer Arzest and publisher Square Enix, available now.
Mario Wonder isn't made by AzrestDidn't Mario Wonder have very glowing previews?
based on what people have seen there is a noticeable dip in quality during the second half of the game
people saw the game and can't rely on blind optimism anymore lol
this isn't sonic team though, it's the Balan WonderWorld Devs......
it’s rough pal
Sonic Team is overseeing it and made the decision to use them
lmao from the leaked footage dropping this to 68-71, really looks like they had a pretty good game which they stopped developing halfway through
hes not in the credits
wait.. by "he" you mean Jun Senoue?
Well that's odd. He's been part of the marketing and everything. Tee Lopes has been talking about working under him on the project and collaborating with him on some of the songs. What the hell..?
its really weird, I suppose he might have an alias?
is the music bad? maybe it's like when a director puts a fake name on a stinker
its really weird, I suppose he might have an alias?
general vibe im getting is that its wildly inconsistent. Some tracks have been very well received, and others have been meh to this sounds bad. Whether it will be good overall for you will probably be how much you can tolerate sonic 4 syndrome.
