Dec. 2024

This game doesn't just pay tribute to classic Sonic games, it surpasses them and IMO is the greatest Sonic game ever. The classic zones are superbly done with a unique take and the new original zones in this game are so good. Whether you are a lifelong series fan or Sonic was a distant childhood memory, I highly recommend playing this.

fans really can do better than big game companies, like sega. If only Sega kept this team around, then Sonic Supertstars wouldve been good.

It's really good, the graphics look amazing and it's a great start for less experienced sonic players, overall 10/10
