    I don’t think the game deserves the hate it gets I think it is a good game and the parkour system is decent

Das war so ein game wie ich es sagen soll weil ich hatte es als 10 jähriger zum release geholt als ich eine wiiu besaß irgendwie war das nicht das was ich erwartet hatte es war nicht schlecht aber etwas gelangweilt die maps erinnerten mich etwas an mario galaxy und es gab manchmal auch sehr langsame level aber auch gute schnelle was mich wieder positiv stimmen konnte im endeffekt war das spiel ganz in ordnung aber ich würde es mir nur einmalig holen

    Ps: ich bereue es 2017 verkauft zu haben    … Expand

    Yes I liked the game, exspecially the Tropical region, but yes the bossbattles are awful and some things are not good, but i think its polished it makes fun and its not that frustrating like people say

    Sonic Lost World was a OK Game The 2d Levels Are a Bit Off and controllers fine, the story is trash, the 3d gameplay is a little good but it's hard to controller and run button is stupid.

    Garbage. Absolute garbage. I would rather play in the dumpster than play this.

    RATING: 66%

    Sonic Lost World is too close to a Mario game to truly pass as a Sonic game, but it has unique level design and sharp visuals that make this Wii U experience quite fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a mixed bag for me it has some great features and some bad ones. the run feature is the weirdest thing for me because when i make a turn or something its like i lose all my speed. my next problem is the fact that this game resembles mario galaxy a bit too much sonic was made to be the complete opposite of mario but this game just looks like a mario galaxy sonic mod.My final problem with this game has to be tails why the hell was tails so jealous of eggman he should know after all they went through sonic wouldn't dare replace him. Even if thats the case i still love this game it holds alot of memories for me and it looks absolutely beautiful. The gameplay is pretty fun most of the time and thats all i have to say about it.… Expand

    There's definitely a lot here, and it's surely a good game, but not a very fun Sonic game, in this case I prefer playing Sonic Forces, which is a worse game, but has more focus on speed

    It's, eh, alrighty, the level design is bad but the good controls make up for it, it's very relaxing overall, but not very fun by itself

    Stages feel like cylinders now and the controls that sonic is used to are completely different. The game doesn't feel fast like a sonic game should. It looks quite decent, nearly like a mario game. You can see that some stages have been inspired by the mega drive era too. It has a huge difficulty spike that caught me out and I wasn't prepared for which was actually really annoying.

    This game was really fun and the story was pretty epic. I just didn't like how kid-friendly this game was and it felt like a Mario game. But this game did have some good story moments but the Tails plot twist I already saw comin.

    Sonic Lost World is a very different take on the Sonic games. I've 100% completed the game and I say its a good Sonic Game.

The Boss Battles are Jokes, with the new Homing Action it is pretty easy to defeat the bosses. The Pre-order bonus is alright, but could have been better. Gyroscope controls and the Wisp are poorly implemented into the game. Gyroscope controls are twitchy and are from the console instead of the senor bar and can be frustrating to control. Wisp are not even mentioned or put into in the game's story which is a complete let down to me. Other than those small problems, the game is great. Very underrated game in my opinion.… Expand

Se trata de un plataformas que combina de forma bastante eficiente la jugabilidad de los Sonic, (con su velocidad, sus anillos y los movimientos típicos de sonic) con un desarrollo en un mundo que por momentos puede recordar a lo visto en la saga Super Mario Galaxy. Esto no quiere decir que el juego sea un calco de la exitosa saga de nintendo, ya que el juego mantiene la personalidad propia de la saga, incuyendo las mecánicas vistas anteriormente en Sonic Colours de los whisps, unos pequeños extraterrestres que añaden habilidades a sonic y que es neceario dominar para avanzar en la aventura.

    Como punto negativo, ya que en un principio el juego era exclusivo de WiiU, la obligacion, casi a calzador de utilizar la pantalla táctil de la consola en ciertas ocasiones, lo que hace que se pierda continuidad en la partida. Sonic es una saga de juegos de movimiento rápido y el tener que quitar la vista de la pantalla principal para pulsar y lanzar a sonic es engorroso. De lo malo el juego no obliga a utilizar la pantalla dual, ya que se puede jugar en modo 'portátil'.

    A día de hoy este juego está en steam y puede que pruebe el port para ver si el control es mejor en pc. Pero por lo demás, salvando la obviedad de la historia en la que nos sorprende una alianza de Sonic y Eggman para combatir una amenaza mayor, el juego está muy bien. No tiene problemas destacables de rendimiento en WiiU, es bonito gráficamente y el diseño de los niveles es novedoso y a la vez tiene claras reminiscencias de los clásicos de la saga. Como siempre podemos encontrar muchos caminos diferentes por los niveles, lo que nos permitirá superar retos secundarios y encontrar coleccionables.

    Un claro aprobado para Sonic y sui Mundo Perdido. Recomendable si eres fan de SEGA y el erizo azul que ya es por derecho propio, historia de los videojuegos.    … Expand

    This game is just boring. Like really boring.

    I played a lot of Sonic games, and this one has by far the worst gameplay, it's just not satisfying to play, and the levels are very repetitive.

    Only things that save this game are the graphics and the OST.

You run at the same speed with the run button no matter what you're running on or how you approach it. You can even run directly up a wall and nothing is stopped you. Also the story. omfg the story. worst sonic story ever. Absolute disgrace to the great stories sonic used to have. the villains are so offensively generic and stereotypical it's no wonder most of them never showed up again aside from 2 of them. 2/6. That really says a lot. This game does look pretty good for a wii u game though I will admit. The colors pop really well and visually it's very nice to look at. And some of the music is pretty solid. But compare this game's music to the likes of those classic games, the dreamcast games, or hell even the 2000s games. Yes, the dark age games. While some of them are not that good it is undeniable they have some kick ass music. especially the 2006 reboot. The music in that game is **** AWESOME! The music in this game is decent but does not compare to the older titles at all. overall this game has some good things about it which are mostly its presentation, but as a game and the story its trying to tell, yeah this aint it cheif. just play generations if you want a simple good time or the classics. or hell, JUST PLAY MARIO GALAXY BECAUSE THIS GAME IS A POOR MANS VERSION OF THAT AWESOME GAME… Expand

    In my opinion, this is not a good game. It ripped mechanics straight from Mario Galaxy and only made them worse. The story is not good, and the characters were very out of personality. The music is okay, but I just don't like this game. I don't understand how this game has so many positive reviews. But then again, it's just their opinion.

The worlds are quite basic, typical of a platformer whoever, despite this, the stages are built in a masterly way, especially in the 3D sections. The views are beautiful, and all accompanied by simple but extremely enjoyable music, a music that often coincides with the atmosphere of the stages (as opposed to Sonic Forces). Of course I'm not saying that the game is free from flaws, such as the story, while it's fun and enjoyable, leaves a bad taste in the mouth, considering that we have gone from games with a nice plot like Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Unleashed, to a plot that is almost too childish even by the standards of the Blue Hedgehog. There are other flaws that I would like to list but it would be too long a "review", so I just want to say: Is it in the top 10 of the best Sonic games? It is close, but no. Is it one of the best Sonic 3D games? In my opinion yes, so to all of you who have not yet played it I want to say: do not let yourself be influenced by people who speak badly regardless of Sonic. Play it yourself and decide for yourself if it's a good game or if it's terrible, I'm sure most of you will like it.… Expand

    Ich liebe das Spiel! Klar das Leveldesign ist zwar anders als in anderen Sonic Spielen aber mir macht es sehr viel spaß!! Auch die Story find ich richtig gut, die Musik ist auch super und es sieht auch sehr schön aus! Was ich auch mag sind die 2 Extra Level die es für die Wiiu gibt, die find ich richtig nice!

    Sonic Lost World has its problems. The controls are imprecise and the difficulty somewhat uneven. But it is still one of the better Sonic games in later years with some great level design. It is not the best platform game out there but well worth a closer look.
