Yeah, this is gonna get torn to shreds by critics for not being "speedy" enough.

Not speedy enough and simplistic platforming is my guess. Along with cheesey characters.

But all sonic games arent 'speedy' enough anymore. Sometimes I feel reviews wear thick nostalgia goggles when reviewing new Sonic games.

Frankly, I think the Genesis Sonic games are overrated due to nostalgia. They have the same problems as modern Sonic; when you're going super fast it's more cutscene than gameplay, and when you slow down, the actual platforming is pretty mediocre. Even the best ones are good, not great.
