Its a game that's trying to target two different fanbases and not quite hitting the mark for either. On the one side you have Sonic fans that want it to be faster and less Mario influenced. On the other hand you have Mario fans that expect something up to the level of "perfection" (only in quotes cause I don't think any game can be perfect) that Mario platformers usually achieve.
Unfortunately, Lost World falls into a middle ground of not quite hitting all of the notes that either fanbase expects. Therefore it got beat up on in the reviews even though it doesn't really deserve it. After this latest patch especially, the game is very enjoyable and has a lot of great ideas that I'd love to see Sega continue on with in future installments.
If they ditched the whole spherical world thing, opened the environments up a bit to allow further exploration and paths to the level's end, tighten up the parkour system and possibly reintroduce a playable Tails and/or Knuckles then I think they'll be on the right path. There's so much more I could write about what I'd like to see but I should probably stop there lol
