ugghhh been trying to replay Rise of Lyric with my bro because he already recorded a playthrough on his old channel but it got deleted, so we're doing it again. we've just been suffering from how boring and miserable the experience is and laughing at how the game is so unbelievably bad in every way it could be djslakjhlsdfgnfh

I see people wishing they had this game but trust me, it's not worth it. we never wanted to play again after the first time we finished it because we were so glad it was over. we're only playing it again for the video. it hasn't been any more fun and it hasn't gotten easier. it's boring and stress-inducing because it's easy to get lost in the bland and repetitive areas with confusing puzzles and obstacles. we spent multiple levels going in circles.

the gameplay is slow and repetitive, fighting is awful because the characters feel so weak and enemies keep running away, the music isn't memorable in the slightest, and the scenes and dialogue are really awkward and rarely funny. (except for when it's Eggman because I can never hate Mike's performance, he can make any dialogue entertaining lol)

the areas and levels don't even look good, which is a huge disappointment, considering how the concept art was actually quite beautiful. yeah, it was due to the very rough development which is a bummer, but honestly I think this game should've just been scrapped altogether. it's even less enjoyable than 06 to me because I can at least see some qualities in it compared to this

and the Boom universe just has so many boring and bland-looking areas in comparison to the fun modern universe, where there's an endless amount of breathtaking views. that was always one of the most disappointing things to me about it in both the show and the Boom games. it could've at least looked a bit more exciting man
