“Official Sonic games” run the gamut from Sonic 2 to Sonic Boom/'06. It’s kind of the poster child for a franchise that is an unstoppable media juggernaut that has beloved all-time classic games… and some absolute garbage games.
Yeah but if you watch the trailer its clearly homage to the 2D games. So we can kind of judge quality on that, which flash game developers mastered long ago.
Edit: also Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles are masterpieces so Idk about this gamut talk including those.
It’s still a tolerable playthrough, especially with part 2 in the mix.
And honestly, people get stuck talking about 1-3 as if they had stopped making 2D Sonic games until 4, but the Nintendo portable games are mostly some shade of solid, with maybe a couple of exceptions.

Even limited to 2D Sonics, there are official Sega products that are just terrible. Remember Sonic 4?

Thats a 2010 game and itself a simulacrum of the classic Sonic era. That was also 2.5D and not 2D, which already breaks from what we see in this post.
