About Sonic Speed:
There are a bunch of mini-stage like challenges all around each island, as well as optional full size stages to unlock. You can skip all the stages if you want and just farm baddies or fishing to collect all the things you need but the stages are worth playing if you enjoy Sonic’s platforming style. My one gripe is the skateboard mechanic should have been used a lot more! There are some stats to upgrade adding a sort of RPG feel to the battle system. It’s still the same old action combat but with some math factored in. The combat feels smooth and if you find the number of combos overwhelming you can set some or all of them to trigger automatically while you mash attack. The graphics are nice but the world does seem a tad washed out. Maybe that’s just the design they were going for IDK. Where the game falls mostly flat is the audio department, aside from the Super Sonic boss battles I didn’t really find any bangers in the playlist, at least not nearly as awesome as Adventure’s soundtrack.
