Controls are decently responsive with most of the action mapped to stick and face buttons. However, they’re still tainted with the same flaws that have existed throughout the series. Classic Sonic’s jumping ability has never been his strong suit and sadly his stubby imperfect hop hasn’t been fine tuned here either. In Act Two, Sonic’s homing attacks are still dodgy and running at breakneck speeds can feel a little loose. In some cases, these quirks can result in cheap platforming deaths that Sonic players know all too well. However, like in past great titles, Sonic is a blast to harness when he’s at his fastest, and dealing with his control flaws becomes second nature.
