Yeah as a new player you get some tastes of continued momentum, and in some early levels you can stumble into a path where you run through almost the whole thing, but you're going to get stopped at various points throughout the game. You couldn't save your progress in the original sonic games, so if you liked the game you ended up playing through it a lot. There are a lot of various paths through the levels. I don't find it shitty or not really, just a different game mechanic.
