just to make this a rule on my twitch:
Don’t follow me on twitch just to promote your designing business and when I decline you unfollow me. That’s disrespectful and a waste of both of our time, so don’t be disrespectful or you’ll be blocked or banned
I will never understand those that glaze 2010s Sonic, but try downplay some other eras, especially the 2000s. Sure, some may have nostalgia of that era. I myself grew up with 2010s Sonic, since I started consuming Sonic between 2008-2010, but this era in particular legit almost has NOTHING.
There's no character.
The stories are awful.
These games barely have any content.
And the gameplay, aside from Generations and Mania was so plain and unbelievably mediocre(yes, including Sonic Colors).
What annoys me about the 2010s Sonic era is how some reviewers were kind to certain games in this period. Sonic Colors shouldn't have gotten the praise and positive feedback it received. It's LITERALLY the blueprint for Sonic Forces, which came several years later.
90s Sonic was defined by great 2D physics based platforming and style. We had the genesis sonic Trilogy, CD, and spinoffs like Sonic the fighters, Sega Sonic the hedgehog, and we got Archie Sonic, Sonic Ova as multitmedia.
2000s Sonic was defined by a good 3D platforming in the early stage(Sonic Adventure 2 and Heroes), and a greater scale of storytelling. Even if people want to say this era had stuff like Sonic 06, Unleashed, Black knight(which were reviewed dishonestly by critics), this era still had YEARLY or in same cases even bi-monthly solid spinoffs like Sonic Riders, Sonic Battle, Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Rush games, and the Sonic Advance Games. We had Archie Sonic still going strong with heavy storylines, Sonic X ran weekly for 3 years, bringing an entire new wave of people into the franchise(I myself joined the franchise through Sonic X in around 2008)
2010s sonic started with a mediocre recreation of the classics, and then a crappy Wii Sonic game; Sonic colors which had the blockiest platforming and level design imaginable in a Sonic game. Awful characterisation and storyline. Only thing it had going for it was its visuals and music.
Generations was good.
Everything else? Mediocre. Not to mention what spin offs did we get? More games like Sonic battle, advance, or rush??? No instead we got crappy mobile games because sega really wanted to appeal to the growing mobile market in this era.
Sonic Boom Rise of lyric is a mess.
Sonic Mania is good, but is just nostalgia bait at the end of the day.
Sonic Forces, also mediocre.
What multimedia did we have? Boom Tv show was just pure comedy, so it didn't feel like an actual sonic show. Archie was slowing down and eventually got cancelled.
At least with the 2020s Sonic era, Sonic has gained massive popularity than before, probably since the early 2000s. Narrative has become stronger, and the sense of cinematic spectacle has been elevated to another level and will keep getting better. Sonic superstars, while not perfect is a solid classic sonic game. Shadow Gens and Frontiers also solid. We have the Sonic Movies. It's not a perfect era by any means, but is already miles ahead of what the 2010s gave us.
