Why do I have the feeling this is gonna be considered the best Sonic game ever made - even when it looks like nothing special (let alone groundbreaking - a little too late for that to be a thing with this particular franchise, honestly.), even with this addition of custom characterization Sega is banking on? Unless the gameplay doesn't make you break a controller over it, I see nothing worth getting excited about that plenty of games by now have employed, likely far better than this, too.
At least DeviantArt/FurAffinity/Inkbunny,etc. will be happy. Can't say Chris will be, knowing he likely can't make something like Sonichu in this game (a small mercy there...).
