These are my five Sonic games just shy of greatness. Games that make you say “yeah, it’s not the best, but I like it.” Games that are polished in their design, but their design is ultimately flawed. Games that are on the cusp of greatness, but some element holds it back. Heck, I kinda like Rise of Lyric and that game is in an even more unfinished state than ‘06.īut what I want to talk about are Sonic games that were poorly reviewed by critics, but still enjoyed by fans or vice-versa. I’m still baffled by some people who say that they loved Sonic ‘06 but hey, don’t let me tell you what not to enjoy. Games that are seriously flawed, but still have some fans who enjoy them. The same can be said for a lot, and I mean a LOT of Sonic games out there.
Usually, it refers to something that is flawed, but nonetheless, enjoyable. Names used for a variety of entertainment from movies to music and of course, video games.
