In regards to the bugs I am willing to cut Evening Star a bit of slack here considering that PBB is basically running on a completely new custom-built engine and the fact that this was essentially the 1st big 3D project for many of the people involved. If they were pressured into releasing before it was truly ready than that would likely be more on Private Division the publisher

My tinfoil hat theory is that they're laying the groundwork for when Sega comes to their senses and lets them do Classic Sonic in proper 3D.

Y'know what? I don't think Penny as a potential franchise deserves that kind of expectations, this game's that brilliant regardless of Sonic! I think what happend in Sega threw these guys under the bus with Sonic Origins Collection and then Mania 2 fell through and so they came to theulir senses and realized "maybe we shouldn't entiery build ourselves around the company that made and sold Sonic 06 and said irrepribly flawed brand"

@colbyboucher63917 ай бұрын
As someone who really loves it, I think this review is 100% accurate. This is a game spawned entirely out of a crusade for actual physics-based performing and the huge, organic skill curve it comes with. Everything else is secondary. It doesn't care that it takes some getting used to. It doesn't care that some people will cry "clunky and unresponsive" the moment their character slides a bit. It wants you to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater all over the place and it's GREAT at that. Penny being cute (+1 for sharp teeth on literally any character design) and the soundtrack being wonderful are just bonuses. And yes, it was definitely released early. Biggest issue currently is that Yo-Yo swings get stuck sometimed so you can't release them properly, kinda screws everything- it could also use a little in-game guidebook showing you all the stuff you can pull off because I think a lot of people won't figure it out otherwise. If you look at current WR recordings (or at least times that get close), it is *wild* how much timing swings properly matters. Like, I'm convinced that you need something approaching frame-perfect accuracy to really launch yourself as fast as possible (same goes for rolling onto slopes).

I got a little worried again when I played the first level, but when i got to the second i realized, Yep this is made by sonic fans. I enjoy it... but haven't had time to play it. honestly if you want to play a old fashion platform with a great chunk of content, and fun levels, I'd recommend it.

Sonic Mania is much easier than this, first of all it's not 3D, none of the mania developers has any experience working in three dimensions, it's got it's own challenges that aren't present in 2D game development. Secondly Sonic Mania builds on an already established gameplay formula, where the actual physics formulas for Sonic are well documented and widely available online due to so many sonic fangames existing, with this they went for something totally new so i'm not that surprised that there's bugs. As for best Sonic game, that's still Sonic CD, sorry but Mania does not replace CD Mania isn't even the best fangame, that would be Before the Sequel and After the Sequel imo
