“Not the best game, but definitely one of the best Sonic games ever. Quite interesting story and different gameplay style for every character. Besides of some technic issues, like camera movement and sometimes broken…”
“On the one hand - I love playing this game when restored with SADX Mod Installer. On the other hand - this port *suuuuuucks*. This game needs proper remaster. Still, I have a great time playing this game, especially…”
“A great classic. But this is the definition of a mixed bag. The Sonic levels are amazing. If it was just the Sonic levels I would give the game 10/10. Tails levels are good but basic. Knuckles, E102-Gamma, and Amy…”

“10/10 This may not be my favorite in the franchise, but Sonic Adventure genuinely has so much sauce it's unreal. I've always been a 2D Sonic truther - and still am, Sonic 3&K is goated - but SA1 definitely stands out…”
“Played tf out of this game on Gamecube now I can play the ♥♥♥♥ out of it on pc. 10/10 game with a kick ass soundtrack”

“*CHIPTENDO'S STEAM MUNK REVIEWS 1* (This is basically an abridged review over on my former backloggd account) We got a beach location and no mikan tsumiki, what are we doing SEGA? I'm just gonna go right in, this is one…”

“Multiple characters and there is something cinematic about this game, that's what it makes it memorable.”
“Still one of the best Sonic games! Just as nostalgic as the 3D Mario games for me. Really colorful and charming game with a great soundtrack. I hope they remake this game because it really needs a fresh coat of paint…”

“Play this with a mod manager and use SADX Mod Installer that functions as Dreamcast restoration. That's the best way to play it. The steam port by default is a little stinky though. However, regardless of whether or not…”

“The controls are a bit janky but you kinda have to expect that from a game this old. It can also become a bit confusing, where you're unsure on what to do at times. However, despite its flaws, its still a great game and…”
“Sonic Adventure is genuinely a really good game, despite the obvious camera and control issues. The game has its own aesthetic and I believe it looks good, and feels nostalgic at the same time, the OSTs are great as…”

“This is a great, classic game to pick up if you want a decent old-school 3D platforming experience. I've always liked the 2D Sonic games on the Genesis, and this game seems to have tried to emulate that in 3D. What it…”
“"Alls well that ends well!" Tails, millions are dead. What are you yapping about bro”
“This game genuinely sucks man sonic fans get a grip. the I'm saying this as someone playing it in the 2020s, so maybe back in the day this was the coolest thing ever but that game was just not too fun. ending had me…”

“The game is bugged, the cutscenes are ridiculous, there is no concrete plot. 10/10 My favorite Sonic game”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“You've heard it a million times now, Sonic Adventure DX is a terrible port of a terrible GameCube remake/port of a really excellent Dreamcast game; fortunately for all of us these days it's exceedingly easy to mod the game and make it actually good again thanks to tools like…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Before I begin I would like to state that I'm not giving Sonic Adventure itself a bad review, I love this game to death and think it's a great game despite it's shortcomings, I'm giving this release in specific of the game a negative review. The (base) Steam release of Sonic…”
