Mar 18, 2022Im sure this is the perfect fit for someone who loves Sonic. This was my first ever Sonic game though and to me it feels dated. I had just came off Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest and those felt so smooth comparatively. It was surprisingly difficult as well and became quite frustration. I can see a good game here though, its just not for me.

Jun 3, 2021An amazing tribute and innovation to the series and one of the best platformers of all time.
-
Jun 20, 2021I finished this game in 2021. It was an amazing adventure. I highly recommend it.

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!
-
Aug 2, 2021Uno de los mejores plataformas de los últimos tiempos. Si tiras de nostalgia, es un juego de 10, si no, sigue siendo súper recomendable. He disfrutado cada minuto con él y lo he rejugado sintiendo la misma emoción.

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. -
Sep 13, 2021The best Sonic game since Sonic Generations! It deserves all of the praise it gets and is proof that passion can go a long way. I'm still in awe that a new Classic Sonic game exists in the modern day. Well done Whitehead and the team and kudos to Sega for working with them to bring this masterpiece to the light!

Sep 15, 2022RATING: 100%
Proof that fans put way more work into games than Sonic Team themselves does. -
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.

Nov 13, 2021Moderno e retrô juntos em um mesmo jogo. Para quem curtiu Sonic um dia é imperdível.

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
-
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 -
May 24, 2022not a good sonic game i find the game rubbish because the levels are too difficult and it's not fun to get all the things
not a good game Only buy the game when it's on sale because for 20 I would have expected more -

Jun 12, 2022Awful game it try’s to be a classic sonic game when the classics aren’t perfect if you haven’t played Sonic 3 & Knuckles a billion times don’t play this game also when Sonic forces remakes green hill you freak out when Sonic mania remakes it your fine but if you have played Sonic 3 & Knuckles a billion times you’ll love it
-
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 26, 2022GREAT return to formula, this is easily a top 10 Sonic game, deserves all praise and respect it gets
-
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!

Sep 1, 2022this game is so bad. i mean you cant have fun it all with this one. really bad and cheap
-
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.

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

Nov 21, 2022It’s alright. Not the worst or the best. Sonic deserves better. Sonic Unleashed is better
-
Dec 13, 2022This game is sadly not worth your money. It’s dull. Maybe it’s a dose of nostalgia but it’s still not worth ten dollars.
-
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.
-
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

Apr 13, 2023I think the game is great but could do with some more original levels but god do I love the drop dash
-
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.

Aug 23, 2023sonic mania is a fundementally flawed MESS of a game. Imagine liking this piece of GARBAGE. it's so good it becomes bad. this game is too good! 0/10.

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]
