>as it means I have to settle for less than a good product just because it has some things I like
So you only play video games that you consider "perfect"? If anything that's how you get locked to playing the first game you enjoyed and never trying anything else. And how do you even know that you find them perfect before even giving them a chance first hand? When I actually, finally played 2006 and Unleashed I found that there were things I didn't know about that I enjoyed, or didn't know I was going to enjoy, and also some things that I didn't know I was going to dislike. It is much more nuanced than you're making it out to be. When I'll be done enjoying these games, I'll enjoy some other games (and maybe from time to time even go back to the things I like from the games I've already played). I think this is the most reasonable and sane approach instead of making yourself miserable waiting for your "ideal Sonic game" that will never exist. I am a fan of this series, so I'd rather enjoy the games that exist, instead of crying about "missed potential" all the time. There is no advantage to closing yourself off like that, especially to the works of developers you already know you enjoy
