Jun 30, 2023Sonic Mania is a blast from the past for all longtime Sonic Fans! This game contains retiring zones as well as new ones. Classic graphics, great music and is a treat for anyone playing!
-
Jun 29, 2023The game is beautiful and is very polished! Although there is EXCESSIVE level recycle from other games and the levels sometimes connect in a weird way that can make the pase kinda weird but overall pretty fun!
-
Jun 29, 2023I had the biggest, dumbest grin on my face from the start of the game to the end of it, with some minor roadbumps in there for some minorly annoying enemy placement and slightly confusing level design that is just common in 2D Sonic games. As someone who would put 2 of the 4 classic sonic games in his top 20 favorite games of all time, this was a complete treat.

Apr 13, 2023I think the game is great but could do with some more original levels but god do I love the drop dash
-
Feb 3, 2023This is a collection of classic levels from old Sonic. And they pass it off as a new game. The collection, so to speak, is normal. But the optimization is bad. When playing on an Intel Pentium, the game hangs. Although, for example, starting CSGO (who doesn't know it's a 3D game) and the game produces 40 fps. 40 fps in a 3D game. And 50 fps in a 2D game. Ideally

Jan 31, 2023Straight-up great, if not perfect. Introduces the Drop Dash, one of my favourite 2D Sonic mechanics. The game is so charming and great, the fact that this is a pixelated game probably amazed me when I first played it. Simple 10/10, nothing less.
-
Jan 25, 2023Very similar to the original Sonic games on the SEGA consoles except it's not painstakingly, unbelievably punishing. And it saves your progress after each level. I do think some of the newer ideas are a slight step down from stuff copied from the originals. But overall, a super fun game!

Jan 2, 2023Nostalgia done right!
Sonic 2 might be the one game I've played more than any other throughout my life. While this game won't replace Sonic 2, I'm definitely going to keep coming back to it over and over again. -

Nov 15, 2022It's a pretty difficult game, but very fun and well managed after all. I loved it!

Nov 9, 2022Sonic manía is really great, the best sonic on years, the sonic team is COOL, very good
-
Oct 21, 2022Sonic Mania is just almost perfection. The levels are remixed and are just so much fun to play even after many playthrough, the pixel art looks beautiful, the soundtrack is phenomenal, the special stages are playable and at the same time, there's a Knuckles & Knuckles mode, it's just awesome. The only possible this game be topped if there's a sequel to this game with completely new zones.

Proof that fans put way more work into games than Sonic Team themselves does. -

Jun 26, 2022GREAT return to formula, this is easily a top 10 Sonic game, deserves all praise and respect it gets
-
Jun 23, 2022This is a perfect revival to the classic sonic games amazing and worth the play, at a very low price and is worth every penny in my eyes it is great and is one of the best sonic games ever seen in my eyes and believe me I have played a lot of sonic games so take my word.
-
Jun 19, 2022I only played the first advance game before this one. From my perspective, it's an extremely fun and nostalgic platformer. Going fast, even if it has been done a thousand times before, is really addicting.

Apr 20, 2022Cool game, good controls, soundtrack, leve design, everything here is really well done
I will give 10 if the game just have only new themes, lets be honest
Studiopolis and Press Garden are the best themes of the 2D Sonic history -
Apr 12, 2022The game is good the graphics too but the fact that you can cheese some of the game with tails just removes some of the challenge from it . I still recommend it though

Dec 22, 2021Got this digitally on sale during Christmas 2021 for $10. For that money, it's a 10/10 and a time kill.
-
Dec 22, 2021An updated blast from the past.
A must to have and play even in 2021.
Lacks the platinum trophy -
Sep 8, 2021I would have given this a 9 two months ago, but I love literally everything about this game.

Nov 13, 2021Moderno e retrô juntos em um mesmo jogo. Para quem curtiu Sonic um dia é imperdível.
-
Sep 16, 2021I really like sonic mania to start off it has a simple but good story. I also really like the stages as they really have a variation in the stile which gives it a fresh feel. Most of all it is fun to play as it really is like the old 2D classic Sonic game that you can't go wrong with.

Oct 6, 2017After nearly 20 years of almost universally horrible games, the 16-bit icon has returned to his former glory and redeemed himself in the eyes of this long-suffering fan. Sonic Mania does a great job of reminding us what made Sonic great in the first place, while also FINALLY bringing the mascot into the modern era. Everything comes together - the music, the stages, the boss fights and the secrets - to form a package that is both appealing to the retro gamer and irresistible to anyone who enjoys a good game of run and jump. Whether on the Nintendo Switch or any other system, Sonic Mania needs to be in your collection yesterday.

Sep 18, 2017Sonic Mania is like a greatest hits album that your favourite artist may release, with a few new tracks as a bonus. It has a high level of nostalgia, gloss and polish and will really challenge your skill, reflexes and patience. There's quite a bit to get stuck into, but you may find yourself being frustrated. If you love the little blue chap and relish a challenge, speed along to the e-shop and pick this up.

Edge MagazineSep 14, 2017This convincing comeback has been designed for the die-hards - and they haven't been this well served by a Sonic game for ages. [Issue#311, p.118]
