1. Be respectful
c/sonic encourages discussion, but all interactions must remain respectful. Harassment, trolling, drama, shipshaming, or any offensive/bigoted content (e.g., racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia) are not allowed. If you encounter harassment, report it instead of engaging. Responding with similar behavior may result in moderation action. Constructive criticism is welcome, but if it’s not respectful, don’t post it.

Pornographic or sexually explicit content is prohibited. Non-explicit NSFW content must be tagged appropriately. Moderators may remove or restrict content deemed too suggestive.
3. Stay on topic
All posts must be related to the Sonic franchise. This includes the games, comics, movies, TV series, fan content, etc.
4. Credit creators
Always credit original artists in the title and link to the source in the post body or comments. If the source cannot be found, explain your efforts. Respect creators’ repost policies. Do not claim others’ work as your own - this may result in a ban.
5. Spoilers
Use spoiler tags for content released within the past two weeks.
6. Reposts
Avoid reposting recent or commonly shared content. Moderators decide what counts as a repost.

The game's not awful, it's just broken. The ridiculous quantity and length of load screens was obviously avoidable. Levels try a lot of things that work fine most of the time, but suffer hilarious bugs for no sane reason. There were surely unaddressed playtester notes about how annoying certain bosses were - both for gameplay, and for repetitive audio barks.
I dunno that it needs a full from-scratch remaster, but it could definitely stand some professional updates. Or drop the assets into a new engine so it can take fresh shaders and feel like it's copying Mario Odyssey instead of Mario Sunshine.
