OMG this game!!!!!!! I only did the first two zones, remakes but so genius in what you can do!!!
When a burned a wooden branch with the fire shield in green hill my mind exploded.
These levels are designed in incredible ways. In chemical plant I did something where I thought I was going backward but in reality it was a designed path totally different than if I went forward. The new mechanics introduced add so much to the exploration. Bosses so good so far.
The water part that is just like the one in Sonic 2? I died like 3 time drowning and one going to fast, which caused me to get crushed by one of the blocks.
I need to go to bed because I've got work but good God this game is great. It feels like I remember but runs better than any 2D Sonic game it's trying to evoke. I'm so happy with it I could cry. I'm only a few levels in
Flying Battery Zone
. Studiopolis Act 2 is greatness. Those screens with Eggman are a riot. I need a gif of them! So many feels. I even like the Blue Spheres. I've missed so many special stage rings though. I can see me replaying this to death.
Game is great, but the bosses are both the best and the worst part of the game so far. They are innovative, and have lot of fun mechanics, but some of the bosses just feel like weird difficulty spikes, when compared to levels preceeding them, and even later bosses.
In Zone 3
Act 1, the boss there is lot harder than many bosses even after it. Mechanically it's not hard, but the game doesn't telegraph well how to deal with the boss, so I died few times not even understanding what I was supposed to do. The boss was fine after understanding it, but I wish it was shown better how to deal with it.
Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is officially canon! Does this also mean the world of Sonic ties in to the world of Puyo Puyo? I look forward to Puyo Puyo Tetris Sonic.
The problem was that the screen was so cluttered at first (all the enemies spinning, background etc.) that I didn't even notice the missiles properly first, and died just due to that.
Seen one instance mentioned of the camera panning to the bottom of the stage after spindashing at the start of the the Studiopolis mini boss, as well as Sonic occasionally not animating correctly when braking. Someone I know mentioned a crash at the end of Chemical Plant, while a friend mentioned watching a stream where the music would bug upon hitting a checkpoint while getting a 1UP, which would loop the 1UP jingle until they reached a bonus stage.
I haven't played the game yet so I can't verify how it's like on my end, nor do I have it on other platforms to know if it's just Switch.
PS4. I would get it if this affected all orders due to Sega taking a while to send them the supply, but I don't know why mine is taking longer to ship/arrive when I ordered with Prime.
Oh well, I needed to finish up Yooka Laylee anyways.

Does anyone have trouble with Tails and flying? (Fiance used him while I was Sonic). Seems like he goes up very quickly and makes it hard to control (certainly harder than in Sonic 2/Sonic 3 + Knuckles)
Just wondering if anyone else has issues with Tails flying.
Related note: Tails also switches back to the CPU very very quickly, like after 2 or 3 seconds of inactivity. though sometimes it helps like during a boss, switched back at the perfect time.
My god Chemical Zone 2 is amazing. Can't believe how good this is. Although I have see a few moments of fan made design issues like random floating spikes.
I've played the first three acts and now I need sleep. What I've played so far has left me grinning from ear to ear. Everything is so perfect but also so surprising and creative. These are the sort of thoughtful touches I expect from a new Mario game. You can tell it was a labour of love
I suspect it was in one part a hedge on unknown sales expectations, and one part a way to ease pressure on a young dev team (deadline can be more flexible).
And maybe one part forces paranoia, who knows. I do expect it to get a physical release eventually.
How forgiving are the difficulty settings? Is it die on boss and start from the zone or die on boss and start at beginning of the last act? I'm not that good at 2D sonic and don't want to give up in frustration - furthermore, are there easy/hard modes etc?
