My issue is that the

Chromehounds was nice but I wouldn't call it great.The environments were sparse (a notable trend
in From Software
games), the assembly system was prone to abuse (cock blocking), and while I generally lift my nose at anyone who complains a
game is «too slow» I do have to to admit that the weight to speed ratio seemed skewed.A smaller nitpick that got to me was that the heavy gunner role felt underdeveloped when it came to the
mechanics involved or more precisely the lack there of, using only your eyes and your misses to judge where to aim was jarring
in immersive sense (they have giant robots but no laser range finders or even an reticle on the
screen to give some form of estimation of where to aim) and felt like an after thought.As usual, From Software had a pretty cool idea but failed to apply the extra level of polish that would push the
game to greatness.

in the environment and
mechanics, like the Totec / Lara double jump).

in my reviews, from hordes of enemies trying to destroy certain objects that you need to defend, and it is one of the worst missions
in the
game simply because the
game mechanics kept fighting against me with everything it got, but after quite some time, and numerous retries I finally managed to complete the first 4 or 5 parts of the mission, and the
game had me then racing up a mountain chasing a plane which I then had to try and get onto, which again, is fine, but when the

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
