Now for the return to form for the Blue Blur.

Sonic's latest adventure takes him to the Starfall Islands where his friends get captured and placed in Cyber Suspension, watched over by Sage, a mysterious AI, Sonic must crush the Titans and save his friends.

Pros
Open World actually suits Sonic.
Battle system works really well.
Super Sonic Boss Fights are Hype.
Soundtrack is Undefeatable.
Such a big game with more due on the way for free no less.
Story is amazing and very heartfelt.
Fishing that doesn't suck.

Cons
Typical jank camera.
Game can throw you through several set obstacles if you are even a little bit off your target.
Game has a bad habit of locking you into enemy fights.
Easy to get lost without the map.
Enemies in the overworld don't stay dead.
Pinball kind of annoying.
All the short stages are rehashed from Sonic Generations.

Overall
I think we can honestly say that there is no more Sonic cycle, Sega and Sonic Team kept all their promises of learning from their mistakes and gave us a 3D rival to the Adventure titles.
