I've been a Sonic fan for literally over 30 years, and Sonic Superstars pretty much delivered exactly what I was hoping for. It’s a solid, modern 2D Sonic experience. For me, it hit all the right notes. The game feels like a genuine continuation of classic Sonic—updated, but not straying too far from what made those games great. The levels are fun and memorable, with designs that feel familiar but still offer something fresh. And let’s talk physics: for the first time in a “2.5D” Sonic game, it really feels right. Generations was great, but Classic Sonic there (and in Forces) always felt a bit off to me. Here, though, they nailed it. The music is fantastic, and I love the variety of characters you can play as. Having Trip the Sungazer as a new addition is a treat. The animations are smooth, and everything just looks sharp. It runs well, no performance issues on my end, which is always a plus. The only slight critique I have is the Chaos Emerald powers—they feel a bit tacked on, honestly. I pretty much ignored them throughout my playthrough. They weren’t bad, just not something I felt was necessary or particularly fun to use. Superstars didn’t blow my mind or redefine my idea of what gaming could be (like, say, Baldur's Gate 3 did), but it delivered exactly what I wanted and expected: a good time with the blue blur, classic-style, but with modern graphics and such. Overall, if you're a long-time Sonic fan like me, or if you just want a well-made 2D platformer, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, but it’s definitely a fun ride.

Buy this game... But only if it's ~$25 or less. It ain't worth $60 if it's shorter than Sonic mania. Sega really had something cooking here, but came short on quality and inspiration. In the least, it look some neat creative directions, and leans in the "right direction". Pros: -Controls flawlessly -3/4 of the soundtrack is good. A handful of songs are a Godsend (looking at you, speed jungle) -Some levels are extremely well designed and memorable -Despite what some people say, even if slower, I found some of the boss fights to be really unique and clever. -Some nice animated cutscenes -You cannot dislike Trip Cons: -The remainder of the soundtrack is either boring, repetitive, or just plain awful. Why did they feel the need to put Genesis synth in so many songs? Why does the regular boss music suck so much? -Just under half of the levels in the game feel like uninspired corporate mockups. Some areas feel repetitive and cookie cutter. -Some stages have only one act for no particular reason -a small number of boss fights were extremely long, painful, and boring -a massive difficulty spike right at the end. Played the last part for over an hour before I could beat it. The game comes out feeling like a mish mash corporate vision that had several truly inspired concepts baked in. Now if only the full game had that level of inspiration...

i had fun with this game but honestly you should only really ever get it during something like the summer sale tbh

Another fun entry in the Sonic series once again getting both love and hate from their very mixed up following. Honestly there have been a few features over the years that were slightly annoying but god forbid they try something new right? I just enjoy a quick and simple platform game from time to time and Sonic always manages to deliver. I really enjoyed the cartoon cut scenes in this one and the inclusion of all the old school bonus stages but in a remixed way. Neat power ups are unlocked as you progress and eventually you get Super Sonic. What's not to love? If you enjoy platform games or Sonic in general you might like this one too.

Doesn't hold a candle to Mania, but a decent classic Sonic experience. Feels better than Generations classic in my opinion. Overall decent levels, hit or miss music, and BS bosses that become slightly less BS in multiplayer. Worth playing if you're a Sonic fan.
