That's cool and all but u should watch Evangelion
The adventure games are the most polarizing game in the Sonic fandom in my opinion. There are plenty of reviews of these games with mixed opinions. In this thread I wanna talk specifically about SA1, I wanna give my opinion and read yours.I personally love this game, it's my favorite 3d Sonic. I recognize its (big) flaws, but I think the good in SA1 is way greater than the bad.
Talking about gameplay, I think SA1 nails it, the movement and level design are really good (specially for the first real 3d game in the franchise). Sonic's stages are perfect, the only nitpick I have is that I wish they were less linear. Tails' stages are a missed potential, but they're still good. I like Knuckles' stages, they are fun to move around and the radar works really well. I like playing as Amy, but she has some acceleration problems and there are only 3 stages for her. Big is a mistake, there's nothing more to say about it. I love Gamma, his stages and gameplay are also great, only wish he had more stages.
Talking about story, I also like it a lot, it's my favorite of all the games actually. It's not too simple but also not complex, it's perfect for a Sonic game. All the stories (except for Big) are quite charming and interesting (even Amy), and some of them are just great. I love Tails' arc in SA1 and Gamma's story is perfect in my opinion. I've heard people criticize his story because it doesn't have ties to the main plot, but I think that's the beauty of it, just a story about the one badnick that gained humanity.
The main plot is also incredible. It builds on the Echidnas from S3K and I just love it.
Now about the graphics. Yeah, the graphics aren't good, but I think there's a little thing to it, it's a 22 year old game after all. The graphics and animations are more nostalgic than awful.
In the end, I think SA1 is a pretty great game with missed potencial. If the game had been polished a little more before its release, It would have been in the same level of quality as the classics. I want to know your opinions too
