Some strong contenders for the title of "worst Sonic game" include:
* Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U, 3DS): This game was widely panned for its poor controls, uninspired level design, and buggy gameplay. It is considered a low point in the Sonic franchise.
* Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): While this game has its fans, it's often considered a disaster due to its glitchy gameplay, underdeveloped story, and frustrating level design.
* Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS): This turn-based RPG deviates significantly from the classic Sonic formula and is often criticized for its repetitive gameplay and lack of Sonic's signature speed.
Ultimately, whether a Sonic game is "good" or "bad" is a matter of personal preference. However, these games are often cited as examples of some of the weakest entries in the franchise.
