[OC] The Metropolis Zone struggle is real! Is this the hardest Sonic 2 level?
Metropolis Zone is finally live, and I’m definitely feeling the difficulty spike. ⚙️🔥
I always remembered the first Sonic being easy, but the devs really dialed it up for the sequel. I even had to stop talking just to concentrate because this zone is so "nasty." Between the crushing traps and the infinite pathways, I’m calling it—this is the hardest zone in the original trilogy.
What’s in the video:
• The Gameplay: Trying to navigate the "visually stunning" design while getting absolutely wrecked by the traps.
• The Music: Appreciating what is easily my favorite track in the whole game.
• The Discussion: Debating if Sonic 2 is objectively harder than Sonic 3, or if I'm just out of practice.
The concentration was at 100% for this one. Come check out the run and let me know if you think this is the "final boss" of level design!
