Enough live service games have lost enough money, including Sega's Hyenas, that at least one company is now scared enough to stop making them. Video games are healing.

Unpopular opinion / downvote magnet 🧲

I haven't fully enjoyed Sonic's transition to 3D. The 2.5D & on-rails parts do work, but I don't think the free roaming sections are as good as other 3D games, and I don't know if it's the speed to blame or the auto-aim or what is it that just doesn't click with me as much as the 2D games did.

I really wish I could have fun with the newer titles but I haven't be able so far.

    I'm still stuck on Sonic Adventure 2: Battle as my all time favorite Sonic game. It was peak 3D Sonic. You're right about the speed tho, which brings us to Haste. Play it, and you'll see how it should have been done and how Sega is completely washed because they couldn't do this.

    Imo SA2 is overrated and SA1 aged better.

    I tried the demo when it came out. Great game, but I got turned off by the level design. There were lot of times when I got lost and didn't know what to do or where to go. And not in a good way, like on Journey, Abzû or Sword of the Sea, you can get lost and get rewarded for exploring but getting back on track is intuitive.

    Haste has better physics though.

    I'd recommend trying either Sonic Adventure on PC with the BetterSADX mod, or try Sonic Robo Blast 2. Both allow for much better physics and control in 3D than any official Sonic game ever could.
