Honestly, it's a really fun game to play with friends, even casually. The community can be extremely toxic, but that just adds to the experience.

First I'd like to make clear that this is a great game. I'd love to play it some more, but to this day it is plagued by performance issues even on modern hardware.

Here's the thing: If you're lucky, you might experience no technical issues with this game. Enjoy it!
However, many people will have issues running this game, with no clear indication to where the issue lies. Regular crashes, highly variable framerates and generally bad performance seem to be very common with this game, which really is a shame.

Interestingly enough Rockstar Games also hasn't removed Games for Windows Live from this game either. This is especially weird considering that they actually went out and put out a patch for this game just a half year ago. Games for Windows Live also causes quite a few issues for people using newer versions of Windows and many developers put out patches to remove the dependency to this service. Not so with this game.

Sonic Generations is one of the few 3D Sonic games that are actually good.
And it's pretty simple: Sonic Generations does not try to do anything particularly new, but the things it does it does pretty good.
It's a great platformer that is actually quite polished (contrary to some other Sonic games), the graphics are very well done and the soundtrack is nice as always.

I don't know where to start. The Steam Controller is so different and at first this controller might feel worse on controller optimized games compared to the competitors, but with this controller Valve just made a large amount of the entire Steam Library playable on a controller on your couch.
The amount of customization you can apply through the software is insane, and for all the people that don't like tinkering you can easily download popular templates for each game.
Getting used to this controller will take some time and I can see that many people still prefer other controllers for games that support it, because learning something new when you're so familiar with the way it has been done until now can be quite off-putting, however I see a huge potential in this product and the community is so creative in creating templates for the Steam Controller it's really great.

In the end I am very happy about the Steam Controller. If I want to lean back and play some games I don't have to worry about controller compatibility anymore, because this controller is compatible with all games, not the other way around.

The early alpha looks really great.
If you liked the first two FlatOut parts, you are going to love this!
Can't wait to play the final game!
