I think that's the highest a 3D sonic has scored since sonic generations (76?!)

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
The best sonic game is seeing people post about it and never having played it other than a toys r us kiosk in elementary school.

what is weird too is that there are side scrolling bonus missions that look really nice! if the game was entirely side scrolling, then I would be excited for it. But I see the open world stuff, and just how dull it all looks, and I completely lose interest.

Nah, just another 3D Sonic game with a slightly bigger sandbox. Seems like a solid 7/10 game going by reviews so far:

Good news then, you can actually toggle Sonic’s speed (among other things) whenever you want to in this game

I want him to go so fast that the action is impossible to see regardless of your monitor's refresh rate.

From what I can tell that’s actually possible to a degree (just set everything to max)

7/10 is good and makes the game sound more interesting than it would have otherwise been if it was getting 9s and 10s.
