i sometimes don't really like sonic cd, but the more i think about the game i enjoy. like the animation intro and outro (and credits of course), amy and metal sonic are cool, the ost is pretty nice and it builds atmosphere, levels are really retro 80s like and i like the added colors the sega cd could have, and the exploration and level design is pretty fun (except wacky workbench i still hate that zone even since i first played it). overall a pretty nice experience, but i think it's not as good as the other sonic games like sonic 3 and knuckles, but that's also why the game is so hated. because the sega cd didn't do well, people thought it was this BIG sonic game that u never played, and ever since it was brought to many consoles in the early 2010s people were disappointed, the same way forces was so hated (not saying it's good but it isn't the worst thing in the world like others say IMO), but for me it's alright for what it is at the end of the day. i give sonic cd a solid 7.5/10 a solid game overall (also before i end this long review lol sry, i understand how others don't like it, but i just wanted to point out how the sonic community can have there hopes up sometimes)
