Rating Curve

I don't know how the hell I haven't reviewed this level yet, but I guess better late than never.

I obviously, in all honesty, think that this is not the best thing to exist in the game. I never shared the same view as to how many other people (from within and outside the community) view it, and it's not within my reach to call it one of my favorites. That being said, this level is still one of the coolest things to exist in the game. Amazing visuals, a really interesting and telling story. It is a very impactful level and it is one that holds a lot of emotion. I do think that some of the visuals in the level could use some better optimization so that the gameplay can compliment it well, which is the only thing that prevents me from calling this level "the best thing to exist in the game." Some parts run well, while others can cause your built in laptop fans to go bananas, and that shit ain't slowing down anytime soon.

In short, while there are things that hold this level back from me giving it such a high praise, it is a level that, as I said, is very impactful, and it holds a lot of emotion, even if in your eyes it's doing a lot.

Wow, the gameplay is rather difficult, but I really do like the designs in this level. Really gives off Well Rested (or any deffie level) vibes, but it puts an interesting spin to it.

Again though, the gameplay is rather difficult, and I'm surprised it took me a bit to get it all down, but skill issue be damned, this level plays well (not entirely, but enough to suffice).

Damn, this level really is Generic. But its a good kind of generic if I'm being honest.

As someone who unironically thinks Sonic CD is a good Sonic game, this level represented Stardust Speedway's Good Future really well.
