RE: Is Sonic Unleashed the last game with heart and soul?

It can certainly seem that way, yeah.
Colors, as mentioned, had far less meat on its bones and everything else after feels like aimless wandering or shallow fanservice. Even Sonic Mania, as great as that was, really could've benefited from all original levels, since the original levels were the highlights of that game.
But Sonic Unleashed? Holy heck were the production values incredible, all those little animated shorts with Sonic and Chip, the extra DLC, the attention to detail in the levels and hubs, it really was a game that fired on all cylinders. But it was also an exponentially more expensive game to produce than your average Sonic game, and the returns simply didn't justify another one, if speculation is to be believed.
