It's fine, but calling it essential feels generous when the whole hook is just a coin counter.

Watching it lose duels against Odyssey every time isn't surprising, the gap in ambition shows up in the votes. Still curious how it keeps a decent win rate overall, must be the casual crowd who just wants something easy and familiar to click on.

bizarre de parler de casual crowd comme si c'était un défaut, un bon taux de victoire reste un bon taux de victoire.

so i bought this thing mostly because i had a long flight coming up and figured mario is mario right well turns out chasing a million coins for six hours straight in economy class is a special kind of madness i do not recommend but also would do again

Bien sympa sur le moment, mais franchement le moins marquant de la série pour moi.

I get the nostalgia angle but for me the coin gimmick just never justified itself, even back then it felt like padding.

Calling it a different category feels harsh, coins aside the core platforming holds up fine against both.

En fait je crois que le vrai souci c'est que même en le refaisant récemment, avec ma nièce qui découvrait la série, elle s'ennuyait après le deuxième monde, et ça m'a confirmé ce que je pensais depuis un moment sur ce côté répétitif.

Odyssey ose repenser la formule entière, Sonic 3 mise tout sur la vitesse, lui se contente de compter des pièces sans jamais surprendre.

entre Sonic 3 et lui, on parle vraiment de la même vitesse de jeu

Comparer ce truc à Sonic 3 ou Odyssey c'est déjà lui faire trop d'honneur, il joue clairement dans une autre catégorie.

J'ai voulu le refaire l'an dernier pour vérifier, et je me suis arrêté avant la fin sans regret.

lo jugué 40 horas y sonic 3 en la mitad me dio más ganas de seguir, la verdad

Est-ce qu'on peut vraiment lui reprocher d'être simple ? Simple, oui, mais est-ce un défaut pour ce genre de jeu précisément.
