But the part of that rhetoric that bugs me is that a lot of the time, people don’t give it the time of day simply because the game won’t explain that to you, and because of that, a lot of players think it’s just “messy” because they are trying to play it like the other classic games

If you just charge into it with the typical classic sonic philosophy, it will feel like a bad game. That’s why, largely, if you’re looking for a more linear Sonic experience, Sonic CD is INEVITABLY going to feel worse to you
a huge part of the game that shines the most is just how vivid it is just as a piece of art
A game that can display THIS level of understanding of environmental storytelling is high art to me
The levels get harder, the colors are dingy and mute, and the music becomes super hostile
but if you haven’t tried it before, and you’ve been wanting to, I really think you should
And if you played it and didn’t like it, give it another try 👍
