A Beautiful Mess - Sonic 2020: Episode Shadow of Water - Sonic Fangame Showcase
Made by BOLT and his team. You can get this Sonic fangame from here:
• Sonic Omens Launch Trailer - Episode ...
I covered Sonic 2020 Episode White Jungle before this, so without sounding like a broken record, what I said in the description of that video applies here too.
• Sonic 2020: Episode White Jungle - So...
Love the cutscenes, level aesthetics, cinematics and music composed (yes it is comprised of an original score)... absolutely do not like the gameplay. This footage was recorded after a second playthrough, because my first one was absolute misery. I was lost in the 2nd stage, being stuck for 20 minutes thanks to shoddy collision detection and not noticing a spot I needed to chaos spear... And the least we talk about the horrible boss, the better. I only replayed this because of due diligence since a lot of you folks are subscribed on my channel for Sonic fangame showcases and I have to at least try to showcase it as best as possible.
The devs behind this Sonic fangame take pride in the cutscenes for it, so much so that the game does not even let you skip them after your first playthrough. And to top it off, they put this on Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday, just to guilt trip you even more if you want to criticize it, because I bet you there are a lot of people saying this is the best Sonic fangame ever made... and I disagree, heavily, at least on a gameplay standpoint.
TL; DR: The people behind this need to stick to animations and not actual gameplay.
Anyways, please enjoy the video.
