Overall, this game is a train wreck, especially considering how long this game has spent in development. So as a game, it functions but the fact that this is the highlight of what’s on offer here really tells you all you need to know. The controls are responsive and that simple mechanics implemented work as they should. The only thing that we can say in praise of this title is that although the gameplay isn’t what it should be, it is playable. However, this is an example that proves that laziness doesn’t equal a successful game and this title suffers due to this consistent attempt to cut corners. Just look at Persona 5 as an example of this. Partial voiceovers accompanied by text boxes can be done well. Then where it can’t, you’ll simply be treated to text boxes. This game also makes use of existing Sonic games such as Sonic Heroes to piece together voice clips where it can. The presentation of this game just feels dirty and cheap and for that reason, it’s hard to enjoy. The Empty Tome theme from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night being a prime example of this. Then where sound quality is concerned, this game steals assets from other games too. The sprites for this title have clearly been lifted from other existing titles and its jarring against other assets that we can only assume were also borrowed from elsewhere. In terms of the visual quality, the game is sub-par. Then let’s talk about the presentation of this game. Sonic is all about speed and action and this game offers the player neither. Yet, without all the things that made those games classics of their era. In fact, this game feels like a side scroller like the old Disney titles like Aladdin or The Lion King.

The developers rarely spoke to each other and as a result, this game feels like a mesh of ideas that aren’t cohesive and don’t provide that quintessential Sonic experience. If anyone has followed this game since it’s Genesis, it’s actually been in development for over thirteen years. This game aims to marry Sonic’s arcade gameplay with adult themes but does the game do this successfully? We find out in our review of Project X: Love Potion Disaster. Then perhaps somewhat like Babysitting Cream mostly due to the adult themes and links to the Sonic franchise. This game plays rather like the original 2D scrollers in the Sonic the Hedgehog series as well as other arcade scrollers like Ecco The Dolphin, Celeste, Sonic Mania. However, the one we will be focusing on today will be Project X: Love Potion Disaster. It seems that Sonic the Hedgehog is no different and the supersonic hedgehog has been the subject of a number of these titles. Yet if one was to research the topic, you would find that a number of children’s cartoons and gaming franchises have been adapted into adult content. As an outsider looking in, you would assume that adult games rarely made use of child friendly content.
