Tried playing the first one recently and it just wasn’t for me. Felt like someone made a game to answer the question “what if we made Sonic but removed the stuff that makes it fun?”

Maybe the sequels are better. If anyone here is a fan of the series I’m curious to know what I might be missing.

    Hey, Bubsy 3D has attained legendary status.

    ...for all the wrong reasons.

    I think I only played the first one back in the day and wasn't impressed.

    I don't even like Sonic games that much, so this explains why I didn't like it 😅

    It reminds me of the Gex collection, which got some praise. I remember playing Gex on the N64 and thinking the game was terrible, it was usually what you got when all the good games had already been rented. But some people will like them! And there's always a nostalgia factor if you had them when growing up I guess.

    They should wait 2 more days.

    Sounds like the game we don't need. I'm in.

    I loved playing the first game when I was younger. It was like a more exploration based Sonic game. You had some fast parts and then others where you tried to find hidden areas.

    Played the original (but Win95) release as a kid in the 90s.

    Exploration was a huge part of the maps. I remember constantly getting stuck and not being able to progress forward.
