What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Sonic CD is widely praised by players as one of the best 2D Sonic games, featuring excellent level design that rewards mastery, a fantastic soundtrack, and creative time-travel mechanics with meaningful exploration and world-altering consequences. However, the game is no longer available on Steam due to delisting in favor of Sonic Origins, which players note has technical issues including random progress deletion, making the original Steam version the preferred way to play if you can find it.

I don't know why I've been asked to write a review for this, considering this game has been off the store page for the last 3 years (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Sonic Origins). Pretty fun on the surface, amazing gameplay for a casual playthrough, nightmare fuel for a completionism run. The game is about 40 to 50 minutes long if your playing to just beat Eggman at the end which is pretty cool, admitted this game has like no challenge with Metal Sonic being the only some what "challenging" boss and even that is a laugh after one or two tries. The casual side is really easy but going for 100% is a huge turn. Act 1 and 2 of every zone contains machines and Metal Sonic holograms to destroy in the past, to do this you must travel to the past then destroy them, only issue being that the levels are extremely hard to find out the specifics in each stage, making me have to use a guide to get them all in one playthrough (however for anyone wondering, Metallic Madness 1 and 2 have no metal sonic holograms, took me soooooooo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long before I had spent about an hour trying to find them). Then you've got the time stones which are this games chaos emeralds. The special stages themselves are definitely harder t…

Unfortunately, the best thing here is the JP OST from the Bad Future stages.

taim trevel is cool and metal sonic too✅ funny how even the third worst classic sonic game is still very good. the soundtrack(s) are very good, yes both of them, and the time travel aspect makes this game stand among the classic games. as far as classic sonic stories go, this is one of the best, maybe loosing only to sonic 3&k btw the games worse than CD are sonic 1 (still a good game) and sonic 4 (episode 2 is kinda fun, episode 1 is just boring)

This game is weird to me because when I was a kid I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated this game, and now I like it lol. Maybe it was because I played the mobile version with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ touchscreen controls, or maybe I wasn't good at the special stages. I always did like the Vaporwave aesthetic the levels had, and the soundtrack is amazing. It's a good 2d sonic game, definitely better than sonic 1 but not as good as Sonic 2, Sonic 3&K or Sonic Mania.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
