>"Controversial take"

>Least controversial take ever

Yep, sounds about right for controversial takes on the internet.

Here's a controversial take: Shadow the Hedgehog is one of the best games in the Sonic franchise.

Ok but

"Hot take"

Hottest take ever

So like check mate, or something

The writing is.. worse than I'd thought when I played it as a 13 year old, but the gameplay is from the early era of good 3D Sonic, and the stage layout making a playthrough short means the weaker parts of the design don't need to overstay their welcome too much. As someone who loved 3D Sonic games growing up, and never got into the 2D ones, I don't totally disagree.

If you really want a controversial take: Sonic 06 was a good game with redeeming qualities.
