Sonic Adventure DX

Definitivamente um classico, o port da steam é ruim então infelizmente mods feitos por fans para deixar o jogo mais proximo do dreamcast é recomendado, o jogo ainda é bom mas merecia um port decente ou um remake :(

First off, I played this start to finish on Steam Deck. It’s rated as unsupported but I played it absolutely fine without needing to change anything. There were some audio glitches and a very rare visual bug but I have no idea if that’s got anything to do with being run on Steam Deck. I wanted to replay this because of it being significant to me during childhood. I have lots of memories of playing this and other Sonic games on Gamecube with my siblings. In the modern age though, I don’t honestly know if I can recommend it wholeheartedly. I will give it a positive rating but it is 100% nostalgia bias. As a full grown adult now with responsibilities that prevent me from enjoying my favorite hobby the way that I once did, I have been seeking out the games I played a lot as a kid. Most of them have been remakes or remasters but this one is basically the same as it was and I think that is its biggest issue. There are many other game series that evolved into 3D and while maybe they didn’t take some of the chances this one did or they were just simpler concepts that lent themselves easier to a 3D transition, I don’t know. This one though, good lord it has aged very badly. This is the same year that gave us Super Smash bros, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Spyro 2, and Donkey Kong 64. All of these games are just as significant to me as Sonic Adventure and I think they’re ALL far better aged. I can’t even sit here and say it was impressive for the time because even as a kid I felt there was something off about the animations or the weird “story” elements. But I enjoyed it and I played the hell out of it then, I even thought it was cool for god’s sake. Now, as an adult, sadly I couldn’t wait for it to be over. There is still some charm here and it was a nice trip down memory lane. I had fun but I knew it was just because I was reliving an old experience. I enjoy the music still, the stages themselves are all mostly good, and I like some of the things they tried that were new (Chao Garden, Mission Mode, the whole concept of E-102, the open world, etc.) but man, it just did not hold up at all. Maybe someday it will be updated and revamped and maybe that will make it a better modern day experience. I don’t think there are many people that genuinely want to experience it for the first time in 2026, but if you are one of those people I just gotta say good luck. There are far, far worse games, Sonic or otherwise, out there and so it wouldn’t be a complete slog because there is a somewhat decent game underneath all the corniness. Genuinely though, I think this one is better left to memory. I cannot deny the impact it had on me and just how much it has stuck with me after all this tine. Even if it isn’t that great now that I can see it clearly, there must be a reason I can’t give it a negative. I liked it more before I revisited it, but it still felt like visiting an old friend that I grew very far apart from.
