Sonic Colors Ultimate Is A Beautiful Broken Mess

[@DenYT1]

I feel like it’ll be ok with patches, but I don’t think people should support the mentality of “we’ll release it now and fix it later.” it’s unacceptable in my opinion.

[@DemonDethchase]

I find there to be an amazing double standard with Colours Ultimate vs Sonic 06, where even the people who like the game (06) also acknowledge the game is pretty buggy and has issues. Colours Ultimate on the other hand... "Stop making big deal about it, it will be patched!" was a regular thing, or "I never had any problems so there are no glitches, its fake news!" Double standards much...?

My experience is similiar to yours. I'm loving the remastered graphics (even the tropical resort, which doesn't seem that dark for me for some reason), the remixes are great (especially planet wisp, the're SO GOOD). I haven't experienced any major bugs or glitches, and I LOVE the new homing attack. It adds another layer to this (previously) trivial task. I also like other gameplay additions, and I don't mind the Tails Save, but it should've been an option. The game should have been delayed for obvious reasons, but I'm having a blast. I just hope they fix it.

[@Eclipsmon8421]

You know what? I played the switch version, and me too I had fun with the game, and think the new additions are great. However, I am also happy that the worse it got with my game is that one playthrough of aquarium park act 5 had random squares that are quite bright whenever sonic turn into a ball or other things. Like it was said, buying this game is a gamble. Sometime it's the best version of Sonic Colors, sometime you can't even play the game. The fact my Switch version worked just fine is a proof that it goes for any version.

The only "glitches" I mainly came across was sound effects that should've been where they belong and they weren't. Like the clear stage music cutting off immediately. But me playing the original like...50 billion times, I did notice some minor little things that were in the previous game and not this game. Its a small detail but in the level select screens Sonic jumps out of the level when it boots up. In ultimate he kinda just jumps for no reason. I feel like when you use the whisps they don't have that...FLARE like BAM when you use them here. Whereas in thr original they were bright and in your face, mainly the cube drill and spikes. BUT I kinda gave this my same statement I gave Forces. It wasn't the best BUT I still had fun. Its still one of my fav Sonic games. And im sure with future patches everything will be fixed. One thing you can't beat tho is the remixed music. I loved most of it and thats always still one of Sonic ls strong points in his games is his music. Never fails to make me happy
