    Expensive, as there isn't much here to justify the price. As someone who played that in 90s, I would like to see save states or/and rewind possibility to make it more casual playthrough, to just remember the story and the levels.

    I am disappointed.

    The developers brought so much nice stuff into this game like the gallery, mirror mode, and missions. But what made me so sad are the graphics. Why is it looking so poorly? I expected the pixel art to be crisp, but it isn't, and it's ugly. It's not worth 40$ at all, but because of the graphics, I won't rebuy this even for a lower price.

    A nice offer for fans, whether they are fans from the very beginning or young newcomers who have gotten to know the blue-haired hedgehog through recent Hollywood films. The price tag of around forty euros is hefty, but you get four excellent retro games in return.

    Although it is a nice homage to the first adventures of the hedgehog, Sonic Origins could have deserved a better finish. Overall, this compilation is correct, but the options offered are not enough to make up for certain shortcomings. Despite a really successful dressing with its cartoons and colorful interface, SEGA's game constantly oscillates between good and bad. We're having a good time, but for Sonic's 30th anniversary, we were right to expect more games and surprises. Especially at a price of forty euros.

    Sonic Origins is an ideal package for newer fans to dive into to learn more about the franchise’s beginnings. Sadly, a myriad of odd design choices and bizarre technical hiccups personally brought down this package more than a few notches. Of course, I could have been more vexed by these issues than the average fan, so I may be an outlier. Still, if you’re a dedicated classic Sonic fan, you may want to purchase this package during a sale or investigate whether the console versions fare any better.
