I took the time to play Sonic 1 and 2 on my phone as well as revisiting Sonic Generations on PC and Lost World on PC to compare. Most stages can be cleared in a couple minutes and there are fewer alternate paths to explore. The level design has taken a lot of criticism mainly due to the length of the stages. This game does my favorite gimmick of having you run and the floor builds under you as you move. LEVEL DESIGN- There are lots of amazing set pieces and gorgeous backgrounds. The level design never leaves you wondering why the he’ll they had a 90degree turn when Sonic can’t make those turns boosting. I think they learned a lot from previous games on the controls. New Sonic feels great but he is used in 2D segments too many times for my liking. Avatar has an awesome move set with the grappling hook and they have an amazing animation where you use the hook to turn when your running fast. Not a ton of endless drops to punish you either. I felt like they refined the controls where you press the bumpers to have Sonic shift left or right and it felt good. Boost sonic, current 3d sonic still boosts and moves fast. Classic sonic does not feel as good as Mania sonic and that’s a shame. I never felt like I died due to the controls. Momentum on jumps for your avatar take some getting used to. MUSIC- This soundtrack is a call back to Sonic Adventure in the best way! It’s so good.ĬONTROLS- The physics are Ok. The story works well enough, and ends how you would expect (nobody dead…). It’s corny but it’s so engrained in this tale, it’s hard not to be inspired. There are a lot of cut scenes but they work. ![]() The resistance fights slowly taking over the world. Robotnik has a new bad guy called infinite manipulating time and space with the wild sound effect from Sonic Mania when you teleport between zones. A rookie came in to help the resistance force. It’s fascinating in a year where Mario is playing dress up, Sega figured out how to get me to change outfits on my created character between every level for fun. This game is everything I like about Colors with a character creation gimmick that works very well. This game is the Sonic Colors sequel I have been waiting for for years. As always, it is getting lambasted in reviews and polarizing the fan base. Sonic Mania is a special game but I have little interest in always revisiting vintage Sonic. ![]() This is the best year of Sonic games I’ve had since colors came out for both wii and 3ds.
