One thing I truly enjoy about the avatar and Modern
Sonic's stages, or at least in the 3D segments, is the sheer amount of multiple pathways there are, no matter how convoluted they may seem.There are also stages where both the avatar and Modern
Sonic run along side each other, which opens up the multiple pathways even more, and instead of switching a character out, each of their moves is assigned to a specific button, making them act as one character, which take some getting used to due to the visual appearance of both characters appearing on screen, but is definitely optimal.There's also some level designs with certain gimmicks: at one point you're
playing pinball in the middle of a bright forest with
classic Sonic, and in that same forest, you'll be
playing pinball with some enemies down a water slide with the avatar, were the control starts to get kind of out of hand, while Modern
Sonic will face a boss that combines the level design from Lost World with this
game's boost mechanics, which was probably the intention for the departure in the 2013
game.
As Modern
Sonic the levels
play a lot like recent 3D
Sonic games, 2D
Classic Sonic stages resemble the Sega Genesis era, and the Avatar stages are a mixture of platforming and shooting.
Only way I could
play the
Sonic games on the Genesis
Classics on Steam without lag would be with the
Classic Launcher, instead of the Hub.
