Jan. 2025

I'd give it a 7/10 or 8/10 50% of the game is great (2d sections), 50% of the game is decent (3d sections) Lost World is a game that is quite unwelcoming to new players but gets pretty good if you have skills. Despite this, there are still a few levels that are outright bad and some small features & controls that make the game feel weird. I believe the biggest issue most players have with this game is that it doesn't really teach them well on how to use the mechanics, so they end up frustrated and blame something like level design or momentum. For example, Sonic can actually move pretty quick in this game thanks to the infinite spin dash, but many people (including Dunkey kek) didn't even know that this was a feature, so they hate the game not realizing they're playing it incorrectly. In reality, I don't think Genesis like momentum matters in this game because it's supposed to play more like a Mario game than a Sonic game.

Sonic Lost World is truly one of the Sonic games of all time. The best part of the game is when Sonic said "It's sonic time," and then sonic'd all over the generic villain group.

Oct. 2024

Not a good game, but not the worst sonic game out there. They tried something different during the wii u era and it was ok at best. 100% percent wise its alright, the red rings only get you super sonic and its very underwhelming i only used it like twice, and the achievements are a grind but most of it can get done whilst playing the actual main story so they're ok, its a bit grindy towards the end but overall nothing crazy. I'd recomend playing it if you're a sonic fan otherwise maybe just play sonic x shadow or frontiers if youre looking to get into the franchise

Sept. 2024

One of the most conflicting games in the series, but I'd say it's worth a play. Sonic Lost World isn't one of the best games in the series, but it's far from the worst. Due to this game being developed originally as part of a partnership with Nintendo for the Wii U, it has some touches that feel very Nintendo. I'd say this game feels like you playing as Sonic trapped somewhere between Super Mario Galaxy & Yoshi's Island. It tries a little to hard to be those games which causes the majority of the levels to feel drawn out or unnecessary, but the handful of levels that slap are really quite fun. A bit more could have been done to make this feel like a proper PC-port, but like with most Sonic games, fan made mods do a great job of fixing a lot of the issues with this game that aren't level design related. A mod even exists to add the Wii U exclusive DLC featuring Legend of Zelda & Yoshi's Island back into the game. Overall, I'd say this one is worth picking up if it's on sale. I'm not sure about $30, but $20 or less would be a pretty fair price for a game with this amount of content.

June 2024

People won't wanna admit it, but Lost World is honestly a really good game. Also one of the best soundtracks in the series.
