I have no intention of actually playing this thing, but I'm watching a playthrough right now, and all I can say is it makes a weird kind of sense to me that this is resonating with the fans, because its look is surprisingly close to what my 10-year-old self imagined the Sonic games of the future would look like. I have never felt the need to say that about a Sonic game before.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that when I was 10 it was still the 16-bit era. I knew 3D games were on the horizon but I had only the vaguest idea of what they were 'supposed' to look like, and had no idea at all what trends would emerge in 3D level design.
You're right about the visuals being off-brand, but I don't even think that this is the most off-brand thing that this wretched franchise has coughed up.
