Sonic Rumble Party

I actually have a total of 194.5 hours on this game since I played this on my phone. And I would've had 83.3 less hours clocked in but had to come back after my break because SEGA decided to add more achievements so I had to play to get the Master Emerald Guardian achievement to keep up with my future goal of having 100% on every Sonic game. Anyways, now that I've come back, I don't recommend this game. The gameplay is extremely repetitive. Some modes seem interesting at first, but again, with the game's loop it always repeats itself and becomes boring again. I played this game solo, but I imagine playing with friends wouldn't really make it that much more interesting. The game also does advertises you a lot, though I can't fully speak about its frequency since I started to block out the ads. I do believe it is worse on PC than mobile. I also am not a fan of how ranking is mostly due to your score booster which is reliant on how many character skins and their varieties that you own. This incentives people to buy skins, I assume, or else they'll have to grind a lot more hours in order to be ranked near people who actually do buy a lot of Legendary skins. Really did make me resent this game since the parameters to rank up to the final rank are a lot higher compared to the other leagues, and you can even receive a penalty if your score is too low. Essentially, ranking is due more from how much you play in relation to your score booster than it is from skill. Finally, there is no need for this to be an online-only game. I can't really see a gameplay difference between bots and real players, and if I don't end up matching with anyone, I get a lobby full of bots either way so again. it's pointless. Sonic Rumble will become another killed off game once it inevitably gets its End of Service. I guess one positive is this game brings back some long forgotten/less relevant characters and some of the unique character skills are pretty cool.
