Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds16 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

There seems to be a wave of revisionism surrounding this game in the past few years which I think is namely for two reasons: 1) the Sonic series is home to so many unforgivably awful games that they make this game seem better by comparison, especially since said games (06, Boom, Forces) released after this one; and 2) this release is the last in line of ports that have iteratively broken many aspects of this game...
