What strikes me is how the physics feel exactly right without ever copying the old games frame for frame. It plays fast without ever feeling out of control, which is harder to pull off than people give it credit for.

Esa sensación de control tan directo es justo lo que hace que aguante tan bien las comparaciones.

Le mot inertie résume bien mon souvenir aussi, aucune bizarrerie même en enchaînant les loopings à toute vitesse.

I keep coming back for the SPEED honestly, everything else feels secondary when you're mid run.

classement à part, il mérite clairement mieux que 286e face à ce genre de concurrence.

Comparé à Portal 2, il n'a évidemment pas la même ambition de level design, mais il reste solide dans son registre limité.

Lo rejugué hace poco y sigue funcionando bien, aunque algunas zonas nuevas se sienten menos inspiradas.

La maniabilité de Sonic est restée identique à ce que je connaissais, aucune inertie bizarre, aucun temps de latence. J'ai retrouvé mes réflexes en dix minutes.

Yo también volví a jugarlo hace poco, pero justo esa fluidez perfecta me hizo notar más los boss que se sienten pegados con cinta.

Same feeling here, I picked it back up after years away and the CONTROL was the first thing that clicked, before the nostalgia even kicked in.

G refait les mêmes niveaux qu'ado sur l'écran du salon, direct les réflexes sont revenus.
