Sonic turns 35 today—what does this franchise mean to you?

Sonic started my video game journey. I was a SEGA kid all in. I had a Genesis and a GameGear and played Sonic 1 through Sonic and Knuckles. I later played the Dreamcast, although I skipped the Saturn, because I was a kid and my parents couldn't afford it.

However, once SEGA went under for game consoles and Sonic couldn't transition from 2D to 3D worth a damn, I stopped playing the games. Sonic just wasn't good anymore. Sonic Mania and Origins were both fun romps, but beyond that there hasn't been a Sonic game to give a damn about in decades. Mania wasn't developed by Sonic Team and you can tell.....because it's actually good. Origins is just a lesser Mania.

It's pretty incredible to me that Sonic Team can continue to be one of the worst, most mediocre game development teams in the world and still somehow stay afloat. The Sonic movies were incredibly well done and fun, so you'd think they'd put out a great, fresh game to capitalize on it, but even with a literal golden platter in front of them handing the franchise a breath of fresh air, they then released Sonic Frontiers......the most "7/10" game I've ever seen in my life.

It used to hurt seeing my favorite franchise as a kid bludgeoned by Sonic Team over the years. Now it's just sad.
