I know 06 is a big meme everywhere but I’ll stand by the fact that it’s got probably the best OST in the entire series that isn’t called CD or 3&K. It’s such a sharp contrast to the actual game itself. Like if the Mona Lisa was sketched on the wall of a truck stop bathroom

Probably. I think it was always sort of doomed given how it was clearly over ambitious and the team didn’t have any experience working with the new hardware so there were always going to be issues. The splitting of the team was the death knell though, after that it was dead on arrival

I love the original Mega Drive/Genesis release more than anything, mostly due to nostalgia, I'll admit, it's the one I grew up playing, if I just happened to own the sequel instead I have no doubt it'd be my favorite, so it's mostly bias. When I try to remove all of my bias, I believe Sonic 3K is the superior experience in the whole series, but Sonic 2 is the one I like the most, and it'd be my favorite if I didn't grow up with the original. I also have a huge soft spot for the Master System/Game Gear releases, especially the original, most specifically the Game Gear version because I love Sonic's sprite there for some reason. I also love Sonic 3D Blast because it feels like the only collectathon in the series, which is a concept I think can work, and I like playing it.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles, had the PC version, replayed it a bunch of times over the years and still think it's quite charming although nowadays I'd much rather play the Genesis rom with a few hacks applied. Didn't really enjoy Sonic all that much until Sonic Adventure 2. If we're speaking games that aren't retro, Colors and Mania. And that's it. I've played most of the Sonic games, but as far as I'm concerned I've listed all the good ones already. The rest range from shitty to meh.

SA2 is an interesting game in that the platforming and controls are exceptionally good and each level clearly has loads of time and effort put into them, but some of the levels are just not fun to play. It’s weird. Like you can tell they poured loads of effort into them but some of the stages are just not fun at all to play

I don't get it either.
I had some moments where I enjoyed the game, but for me it was definitely the straw that broke the camels back and made me go from pyschotic Sonic fanboy that would defend anything they do to "hmmm maybe these games are pretty flawed and capable of being examined with a critical eye."
The fucking speedzones, everything with Silver, those load times, I just don't get why anyone would step up to bat for this game.
My only theory is that it's fans who are saying it's somehow better than the later games because it's not "meta era"

That's exactly it. The latest meme is that these early 00's games were actually really good because they were "sincere", even though they were just sincerely shit for the most part.

As a game it’s a total disaster but it’s one of those things I can’t be too harsh on considering the background surrounding the development. It’s the same thing with Superman 64. Yeah it’s absolute dog water but then you read about how the dev team wanted to make something great but got fucked over by higher forces. Same with 06, it’s awful but I can’t hold it against them you know. Plus there are factors like the outstanding soundtrack and the scope that I have to commend

I mean I'll still step up to bad for Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog, and I do somewhat appreciate the sincerity of Sonic 06, but 2006 is just not defendable.

What's even more baffling to me is the storybook games being defended. If 2006 was the last straw for me, the storybooks was what sowed the seed of doubt in the first place. And people have been defending those games even longer.

and I absolutely don't get how Jason Griffith is the fan favorite, he's the most "dollar store anime voice actor" VA Sonic has had.

It's almost unbelievable how it keeps happening. SEGA are too dysfunctional and incompetent to hire good developers, game designers or writers for Sonic, but somehow they keep hiring good musicians. Literally everything else about the games is spotty, but there's barely ever been a game with a bad soundtrack. Chronicles and 4 Episode 1 come to mind as bad soundtracks, but they're made up for by the fact that CD and 3D Blast got two good soundtracks each.

Adventure 1, definitely. It's the game I come back to the most. The game is simply peak SEGA, with its colorful stages, beautiful and varied music, and overall a very positive vibe. SA2 was also good, but it wasn't as fun to play and didn't manage to catch that same atmosphere as consistently.
