![]() Nostalgia: 10/10 – This game set out to be a tribute game to the 90’s Sonic games, and it succeeds at this in an unprecedented way, welcoming back into the fold Sega fans who felt disappointed with the past several Sonic games. There are also different gameplay modes such as time attack and multiplayer competitions. Replay Value: 10/10 – The replay value is high because there are different characters that you can play as, each with their own unique abilities that make taking different paths through the same levels very unique experiences. Music: 10/10 – The music is definitely old school too and a great homage to the Sega Genesis Sonic games, which always had some pretty fun music. There are different filters and options you can enable in settings to try to minimize this jagged-edginess. I did see some anti-aliasing and rough edges as to be expected in pixel style games, mostly especially when playing in fullscreen mode. Clearly this game is wanting to appeal to old school gamers who grew up with the original Sonic. Graphics: 7/10 – The graphics are done in a bright colorful oldschool pixel style. Once again though, games like this do not really need character development to be central to the player’s enjoyment of the game. Lack of story does not hurt this game, but if you’re looking for a game with a great story, this is not it.Ĭharacters: 5/10 – I enjoyed seeing Sonic and his friends return in an all new game, and it definitely brought back nostalgia and my childhood, but without a story, there’s no real personality or character development here. Timeline wise, it is said to take place after the events in Sonic and Knuckles. Story: 1/10 Sonic isn’t a story-centric game, and it doesn’t really need a story. Overall the gameplay is fun and full of nostalgia There are many different paths in each level and many hidden objects, including entrances to bonus stages to capture chaos diamonds. You run, jump, spin, and dash through the levels. The levels are fun and fast and action packed. To play the game as other characters you will have to select the characters at the starting screen – you cannot switch characters within the game. ![]() You can play as Sonic, Tails, or several “new” characters first appearing in Knuckles Chaotix or Arcade exclusive sonic games. Gameplay: 10/10 – Sonic is back in a new game, with levels re-designed from the original Sonic games as well as all new levels created for Sonic Mania. ![]() Overview: Sonic Mania is one of the newest Sonic Games, however, it pays homage to 90s oldschool Sonic and is very well received by 30+ year old Sonic fans, as well as a whole new generation of gamers. Where to Get: I got Sonic Mania and a buncha other Sonic games in a humble bundle, but if that bundle is over you can find the games on amazon or steam. Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One ![]()
