Based on my dollar amount to time spent system of buying games, I'd say this one earned it's cost hand over fist.

The roles are fun, they're just in depth enough to have a good loop and vary widely enough on their goals that I don't feel like the same person in any two roles. That said, the people that play the game and their choices can make or break your experience. Sometimes people are on the game to play the game, other times people are on the game to troll and ♥♥♥♥ with you. Regardless of either, I've had a genuinely great time playing this game. Yeah, it's got it's quirks, it's not perfect by any means, but the devs are still working on it and making it better. They just added a distillery job and have much more in store.

I've already put almost 60hrs into it. For $10? That's a damn good deal. It's got a little something for everyone to do, but if it's not your game don't force it. Sometimes people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, sometimes people are golden and you can't change that. Browse the server list and move if it's bad enough, but give it an honest go if you seem even remotely interested.

I would unironically rather play Halo 5 and suffer req packs for countless hours instead of playing this game. I genuinely do not care how far this game comes, I could never recommend it. If only I knew how much I'd miss Warzone Firefight.

At the time of writing I haven't gotten through half of what the game has offered, but I can safely place my bets in this being a genuinely well done game. Though, it's not without it's cons, the pros are outweighing them all in my book.

Pros-
Fluid Gameplay
Descriptive Tutorials
Loading screens are brush ups for abilities
Exploration is well rewarded
Game doesn't feel like it punishes mediocre play while still pushing for more

There may be a few things I'm overlooking, but without delving into the nuances I find that a good place to leave the pros,

For the cons however-
Single button press quicktime events
Occasionally overbearing hint popups
Sometimes it feels like you can go TOO fast
Medal hunting can get a little tedious
Camera locking can be a little weird, especially if it locks onto certain enemies

Overall, the good things the game brings to the table, visuals included, all manage to culminate together into a pretty nice package. It's a nice spin, a breath of fresh air. While a few people might nitpick I would highly recommend picking the game up if you've been on the fence from either trailers or minor gameplay reviews. The game isn't without it's 3D sonic jank, but it's few and far between. As of writing, I haven't encountered any major gameplay altering bugs or experienced anything particularly wacky that wasn't a result of either my own lack of skill or having gone TOO fast. The game gives obvious signs when it's time to put the pedal to the metal, but if you find yourself missing the occasional rail hop or falling into an abyss, it's likely due to your own pacing.

Overall 8/10. Good, fresh Sonic.

Post game finishing update-

Honestly, I think despite some of the inherent flaws the game still manages to shine bright. It remains fresh, the visuals are still really amazing when you stop to take in the view. Despite the magnetic gravity keeping you toned down it still manages to pull of it's goal really well.

Overall 9/10. Amazing experience I hope I get memory loss for so I can experience it again.

Hi, we here at BANDAI NAMCO would like to inform you that we know our game just had a communication error. As an apology for being unable to deal with it on the fly and closing your game, let us kindly bestow upon you a leaver penalty. If you weren't mad before, you'll certainly be mad now. Thanks!

Overall, the game is great. The maps are beautiful and the modding community behind the game really takes the cake.

Pro: The game is totally backed by mods, making the game borderline limitless as far as how you'd want to really play it.
Con: The game files aren't compressed by any means (At least from what I can tell) Meaning the game takes up ALOT of space. There is also no option to keep key mods loaded, like ones that most unofficial servers might use on a regular basis, so you'll have to load your mods over and over again, even if you get kicked back to the main menu.

Its a wonderful game, keeps me entertained for hours upon hours, only one thing. I would'nt advise playing it through shared libraries. It tends to bug the game and make it to where you've never beaten the game no matter how many times you actually have, and makes the game beleive that you've unlocked every secret.
