Sonic Mania

Good game

10/10

Fun

I know this is a really late review, but I still wanted to give this game some love. I’ve always loved the classic 2D Sonic games, especially Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, so Sonic Mania honestly felt like a wet dream to me. It has pretty much everything I love about those games while still adding its own thing. The music, visuals, level design, gameplay. it’s perfect.

Got it for the music, stayed for the gameplay. I can't weigh it against other sonic games, but what I can tell you is that there is passion oozing out of every level. Technically you could "finish" the game in a day (going through all levels), but the fun lies in mastering the levels and going as fast as possible. There's also the special stages you do for chaos emeralds which I found fun and the reward for collecting them all was worth it. Also, as I mentioned in the very first sentence of this review : the music. The music along with the level's sound design is like a luxurious spa treatment in the maldives for your ears.
