A 6 minute long mix of many (all?) types of cyberspace stages. Some bangers in there.

Any tracks you can recognize besides the stages we’ve seen so far?

Good lord, the only way it could be more Ace Attorney-y is if it were in 7/4 time.

Looks like this is gonna be an automatic soundtrack buy even if the game is garbage, and somehow, against all odds, there's a very real chance it might not be.

To be fair, music is one of the few aspects of the Sonic series that’s more or less stayed consistently good over the years

I 'unno, I think part of that Post-Generation's stretch has had some music issues. Like, Forces has some bangers but as a whole the OST is very unfocused, the classic tracks are a bizarre genesis-soundalike composition, modern has a lot of cool tracks in line with boost era tracks but the instrumentation makes a lot sound samey after they hit like the thirty second mark, and then avatar tracks have a more concrete melodic punk thing going on that specially stands out with the lyrics. Lost World just has a rather mid soundtrack outside of the Desert Ruins getting a version of the Addams Family theme.

Frontiers has a far more concise and rad soundtrack. It feels like it's all set around those avatar stages tracks, but going harder since it's most of the OST instead of a third.

Yeah, Forces and Lost World both disappointed me in the soundtrack department. Runners was pretty good though, and secretly anime music:

Forces is a bit mixed. The avatar stages have great music. The classic stage music is kinda bad. The modern music varies

A lot of the music in Forbes also gets cut off before it can really get going because of how short the stages are.

the avatar tracks are so good though

There's a fan project that has effectively brought it back if you're interested. Sonic Runners Revival. I'm not well informed on the tech stuff, but from what I can tell, it's close to a carbon copy of the original. A few things left to be implemented, like the leader boards. However things are still being brought back, such as the seasonal events were back in last month, and at the start of this one new content was added like Tangle and Wisper from the IDW comics were put on the roulette for unlock.

It's better than a carbon copy, it is the original just with different servers.

Well actually it was. Since it's got some added content I suppose it's more the original with mods or something.

Point is it's not from scratch.

Freedom Planet 2 has a couple levels clearly inspired by the two worst zones in sonic 3. It’s pretty blatant. The level design overall in FP2 is kind of too loose? Like I’m having trouble figuring out where to go sometimes, the levels are so wide open.

It’s close enough to a sonic game to post in here.

Remember during the pokecapn Sonic 06 LP, where they noticed one of the music tracks sounded suspiciously similar to Flash Man's theme? I think I just found another instance of a Sonic track ripping something off?

So I was sitting around listening to a playlist of stock music (Like one does) and I noticed one of the hooks sounded weirdly familiar...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrLwyc5ibkg

And then I realized where I'd heard it before...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpRb42EM_T0

The songs aren't wholly the same, but the Sweet Mountain track definitely took its hook from a piece of British stock music from the 80s.

Forces is the one where Eggman breaks all their frontiers and they have to reclaim their frontiers, while Frontiers is the one where some sorta cyberdemon forces Sonic into a cyberdimension where he gathers new forces.

Quick look at the site has a "sideloadly / non-jailbreak" version, but I'm on Android so I've got no idea what that entails.

And by too open I mean that there are frequently times where I’m flying through the air with nothing on the screen except the character, no landmarks of any kind.

It feels v self indulgent in comparison to Fp1 so far. Forcing me to experience the excruciating dialogue and story this time isnt helping

Exploration is ill-advised.
A ton of video game music is at best clearly sampled and at worst obvious ripoffs of other songs. I recall one jazz track that's obviously the Super Mario Bros Underground theme, and Ken's Theme from Street Fighter is just Mighty Wings.

Streets of Rage 2 includes some pretty blatant lifts of tracks by The Shamen and Public Enemy, and it's all the better for it.
