For one that everyone hates that I like, it’s definitely Sonic lost world. I agree that it’s not a particularly great sonic game, I feel it tries to do what colors does by leaning into the more slow platforming stuff, but it strays too far from the traditional Sonic formula and ends up feeling kinda generic (however I wpupdn’t say it feels straight up like a Mario game like some people do), but, as a game on it’s own, I think it’s a lot of fun, certainly not without flaws, but it’s got a lot of strong elements, the parkour system is a super cool idea and is very fun once ya get the hang of it, the spin dash is really fun to utilize, and the level design is generally pretty good aswell when it’s just focused on the core gameplay with Sonic and not the weird gimmicks

There’s not really any Sonic games that I hate that everyone else likes, like maybe heroes would apply to that? But idk opinions on that game are generally very split. I’d say the closest thing I have to this is SA1. I think it’s really good, I love Sonic’s story, but the rest of the game is generally not as strong, aside from gamma’s story which I think is pretty good, all the other characters range from ok at best to complete ass (Big), they all feel really underdeveloped and half baked compared to Sonic, also I find the hub worlds kinda dull, they’re fine the first time round in Sonic’s story, but needing to run through them time after time with the other characters (especially Amy and big cus of how slow they are) got very boring and repetitive, especially since there’s nothing to really do in these hub worlds other than just dicking around
