    It’s not fast enough for a Sonic game and imprecise controls can lead to frustration but for the most part Lost World emanates the raw, simple platforming fun rarely seen on PCs. [01/2016, p.70]

    One of the best Sonic games lately, but isn't even close to the best blue hedgehog's games.

    If you judge it as a sonic game it’s disappointing but if you judge it for a good platformer it’s not a bad game by any means but there’s better and worse sonic games out there. That said it rarely delivers the speed you crave and as a sonic fan I was disappointed about this.

    There are good ideas in Sonic Lost World, and even fleeting moments of brilliance – the wide-open assault course of Desert Ruins Zone 1 stands out as a particular highlight. But for every bit that works brilliantly and provides the thrilling action we want from Sonic, there’s a weak boss encounter or an awkward stop-start stage that dents your enthusiasm.

    Sloppy controls make for an infuriating platformer. If you want a modern Sonic game, get Generations instead.

    Sonic Lost World for PC looks and runs very well.    This is a review of the port NOT the game
    ------------------------------------------------
    Sonic Lost World for PC looks and runs very well. Having it run at 60+ FPS deffinatly is a improvement over the Wii U version and looks even better at 1080p. Almost everything else though is the same. All the same levels, bosses, songs, etc are there. Buying Sonic lost world on PC allows access to the Nights Nightmare level which is also on Wii U if you pre-ordered it. What the Sonic Lost World PC port does't have is the Yoshi's Wooly World and Zelda DLC maps for obvious reasons. The ability to listen to sonic lost worlds great soundtrack and not having to have headphones pluged into the gamepad makes it more enjoyable. Overall it's slightly better than the Wii U version. It doesn't change much but it runs better than the Wii U version. Just a tip for people playing it for your first time, don't play the Nights map first because it has variations of all the boss finals besides the final bosses. Also don't go for red rings unless there in your way because some are very hard to get. Use a controller, Keyboard to high speed percision platforming is very hard and not worth the pain. I used the steam controller which works very well with this game. A xbox 360 controller will work as well.    … Full Review »
