Why did people hate this game again?

They didn't. It's largely considered the last excellent Sonic game. Zig Forums started to hate it arbitrarily because of its good reception as usual.

It wasn't hated, it was liked and viewed as a proper return to form for Sonic
It's only hated on Zig Forums because of contrarianism and Adventurefags who exploded in numbers recently and started pushing their obnoxious shit everywhere

wisps arent fun

Because heaven forbid the franchise be funny and self-referential. It has to be super serious with lives at stake.

Because Sonic games havnt been good for like 25 years

Sonic Colors is a pretty decent, if not a good game, but it's most certainly been scrutinized for the last few years because it's been the start of some of the worst trends of 2010s Sonic, from the bare bones storyline, comedy saturated writing, tone issues, writers who didn't know what they were doing, and the lack of and less meaningful implementation of other characters in favor of it being more about Sonic, Tails, and Eggman. At the time it was fresh and new given that the "Dark Ages" were literally fresh in memory with Sonic 06 being a relatively new game, but in retrospect it's lost that sort of luster and has been a scapegoat for all of the current problems with Sonic.

As in they literally hired writers from Happy Tree Friends for these recent games who have had no clue remotely on what Sonic is and how he was written in the past, thus the whole different change in writing for the games which involve more comedy than anything dramatic, and then when trying drama, they fall flat on their face or tonally fuck it up. I'm ps they left after Lost World, but I don't remember fully.

They handle the translation or something and changed bits of it and added things like "tails just lost it" and knuckles getting everyone killed in one of the stage. And the sonic being tortured for months

No, they are credited for writing the scripts, in fact they were done so in order to try to make the writing appeal more to western audiences. They've done translations yes, as they're credited for the script of the English version of Sonic Forces, but for Colors, Generations, and Lost World they've had a hand in writing the storyline itself instead of just doing translations.

Wasn't this the first Sonic game with the new VA? I found his voice annoying in cutscenes, but overall I thought the game was pretty fun. Music was really good too, although I didn't like the main theme song.

- Ridiculously uneven stage design
- Wisps suck and their stupid 4-second loops blot out the actual good music
- Grade is based on milking Wisp usage for points rather than collecting rings or maintaining a good speed
- Repeated bosses, and those bosses are TERRIBLE

Too many side scrolling segments honestly. I vastly prefer the 3D gameplay here because it feels really nice, even despite not being the hedgehog engine. If I wanted all the 2D segments though, I'd just play Sonic Rush 3. I mean, Sonic Colors DS.

It never got fucking ported. I keep forgetting it exists because it came out for the fucking wii

All of these reasons. The core gameplay is fun, but like, they just completely squander it because it's a Sonic game by Sonic Team, so fucking something up is mandatory. The DS version is the more consistently good experience.

adventure 2 killed sonic.
