    2.minus P.S (because I live in Russia, I will name prices in rubles, taking into account our "Value Added Tax (VAT 20 procents, and another small clarification - we have regional prices in steam, because of this, games on PC cost sometimes much cheaper than on consoles)... we return to the second minus , the big price is the same everywhere, even on the pc, despite the regional prices in steam, the deluxe edition costs 3219 rubles3219 rubles, which is a little more than $ 52, for me it’s quite a lot for just a collection of four games, given that the average salary in my region, and in general in many cities is 30,000 per month, I’m not talking about janitors, teachers and doctors in state institutions who receive 10,000, and sometimes even less, given that the average apartment fee is 4-7 thousand, and no, I'm not complaining, we have pretty good specialists, free medical insurance, but still expensive, okay, something got me in the wrong direction in the warm-up, let's get back to the game, some of the cutscenes from the sonic CD are cut out, but only two are left - for the beginning and the end, thanks to this you don't feel them as an addition,because you forget about them during the passage of the game, otherwise the game is not bad at all    … Expand

Ansonsten ist Sonic Origins wirklich gut und ich kann es empfehlen.… Expand

    Fantastic collection of the four classic games that were remade in the retro engine. Recommended for those new to sonic or those who are in the mood for some old school fun. However, the DLC isn’t really worth it and really should’ve been included within the base game. All in all, had a lot of fun viewing the new cutscenes that connect each game as well as playing the new mirror andFantastic collection of the four classic games that were remade in the retro engine.

    This is the best collection of 4 games.The remasters are very good and the music is the best.Especially the classic mode because you can play the old games of 1991 on the latest platforms and the cutscenes are really good all the animations all legendery and the fit perfect with the games

    The PC version of Sonic Origins is the exactly same of the PS5 one don't worry, and if you wabt to play this with a controller like the good old days don't worry you can plug a Xbox one.
    Sonic Origins is a great collection of great games of the 90' now rebuilded with the retroengine and it looks smooth, there also tones of extras in the game like the Anniversary mode, museum, boos rush and more

    Almost all of you just spammed with angry reviews, the players are complete idiots.
    The collection quite came to me
    At cost price I bought the time spent on the passage, as well as the emotions presented)

    Just get it on PC and mod whatever you don't like. You can practically run this game on a potato. If you want the original music, there's a mod for that. If you want to unlock all the extra content, debug a ton of coins and unlock it. If you want to stop the motion blur, there's a mod for that. If you want to take the spindash out of Sonic 1, there's a cheat for that.

    Sonic fans are way too sensitive and entitled. If you don't like something in this version, go play the version that doesn't have those things. I get Sega delisted some of the other versions, but there are still plenty of options available to you between the secondary market and unofficial fan projects.

    I'm not trying to defend Sega, I've just grown exhausted by the Sonic fan base.    … Expand

    This game gets more hate than it deserves. The animations and added content is all great, and the glitches really aren't a big deal. The roll locking being in sonic 1 and 2 is annoying, but i can overlook it, and sonic CD and 3K are as amazing as ever. Though, locking island tours and stuff behind a digital deluxe is kind of dumb but, overall, its a great collection, and it gets too much hate

    I actually like this game because it basically let me be able to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles in widescreen outside of my home without needing to haul a laptop and boot up Sonic 3 AIR. I know that Origins is not perfect in a lot of ways, but it gets the job done and I’m sure Origins Plus will fix most of the issues people have with the game.

And to those who are upset about the Sonic 3 music fiasco, I am upset that Sega didn’t just use the tracks from the November 1993 Prototype, but it was a sacrifice they had to make to even get the game rereleased.

    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.
