Just finished the first boss fight with Infinite.
So far, I think it's decent.
Graphically speaking it looks passable, but nowhere near as visually stunning as Unleashed or Generations, even Colors looked more impressive despite being on the Wii.
Gameplay wise, it's the 3D Boost formula from Unleashed to Generations, so I'm familiar with how it works and it's the same as it was then (though Sonic carries a little too much momentum on his jump for my liking). So, it's good for the most part, but the level design is a hinderance.
But that's the deal with every Sonic game, earning speed through multiple playthroughs and getting familiar with the game, I can blaze through Mania with no effort at this point after having a lot of trouble in my first playthrough.
Classic Sonic plays like he did in Generations, so all is good in that camp.
The New Playable Avatar, now that was the aspect that intrigued me.
I will say, this definitely has potential and they put work into the outfits department. I'm not deep into the game so I can't give a full analysis. That flamethrower breaks the game a little bit, not gonna lie.
But so far, I'd say it looks like a decent first attempt.
It's definitely rough around the edges, but from what I've played thus far, it's been alright.
