revisiting sa1 like almost a decade or so later has been so therapeutic and fun. genuinely i remember why is it that i fell in love w this series so hard

such a charming, quirky, and genuinely goofily self indulgent little game. obvious gameplay jank aside (played dx so yeah there's a bit more than usual but that's also the version i grew up w so shhhh lmao), i had so much fun revisiting the first video game i ever finished on my own as a kid :)

as an aside: i was heavily surprised to realize that sa1 is, like, wayyyyy less slippery than i remember in comparison to sa2. like every time i try to play sa2, it's so much harder for me bc this shit feels like i'm running on ice a lot of the time. never really had that problem w sa1 during my replay. is that an uncommon opinion??? idk????

i'm planning on revisiting sa2 anyway to get my feet wet w it once more. playing sa1 really revitalized my desire to actually pick up my controller and start playing shit again. maybe this is just what i needed...! (maybe i'll tackle the whole series at some point as a countdown to sonadow gens who knows hehehe)

#though i will say ppl give amy specifically a hard time and my biggest criticisms for her #are that her speed could be buffed a little and her campaign is too short #but genuinely i had so much fun w her in particular and i fully commit to the notion its bc of that hammer jump shit #that fucking move is so fun to run around and bop baddies w #stares at frontiers: why they didn't bring that shit back yo #nah she's cool in frontiers i'm not even gonna front but man hammer time is so fun #sa2 is gonna be a trip bc i think it's the game i know more of but also remember nothing about #in terms of gameplay past the first few levels of each campaign #like aside from music and certain level aesthetics #i remembered pretty much a lot about sa1 but that's also bc i still very much kinda prefer it over sa2 #so i'm excited but i'm not counting on my opinions changing much given i already have such bias #i wonder how knuckles will fare tho #my playthrough of sa1 kinda sold me on the possibility i might prefer sa2 knuckles/rouge stages over sa1 knuckles #bc it's a lot more fluid and fast #but who knows...! i'm a treasure hunting stage apologist so i'm sure i'll have fun either way #sonic the hedgehog #maple talking shit
