Sonic Lost World is my second Sonic game that I played after Sonic & Knuckles. I think the amount of speed isn't that different and Sonic & Knuckles also had a lot of platforming and exploration.
Maybe it's not the game that fans of the extremely fast 3D Sonic games expected (I only watched some YouTube videos of them).
I really enjoyed the game, but it isn' nearly as polished as 3D World (or any other 3D Mario game).
The controls were a little weird at the beginning, but everything besides the gyro controls worked very well after a while (and analog stick controls were patched in).
The level design is very inconsistent, ranging from the poor hidden world to some excellent stages.
Some red rings were very frustrating and apart from the red rings it was a little too easy.
Not sure why 100 rings weren't 1 life at the beginning...
It's a 8/10 for me, maybe 7/10 before the patch.
