So not that good then.

I wonder if I should get this. Don't really like the Sonic games on Megadrive, can't imagine this will change.

It's a direct follow on from those in terms of gameplay, feel and look. If you didn't like them (What's wrong with you? ) then I doubt this will change your mind.

I never fully got on with them. I'd have some fun but it was always more enjoyable to go fast which meant just hitting things I'd never have a chance of avoiding. But then if I slowed down it felt like a crap Mario. The levels which forced you to slow down (is it the second world in the original?) were proper shite. Does this happen in Mania?

I have nightmares about a Sonic water stage.

Pretty much the same with me. I didn't like the level design, didn't like the physics. I always thought there were better platforming titles on the Megadrive.

I will probably still give this a try, because I would like more modern Sonic games like Generations and Colors.

Then get Forces, as that is like Colors and Generations.

Great touch, apparently many more like it

I may be one of those people who want to buy it, but at same time I am sort of wary about it. :dread:

Don't be! No Sonic cycle is present here :toot:

It's also not present for Forces because hopes are already low pre-release

Just starting this now.

Just the start is making me super happy and stuff!

Wow the colour palette and frames of animation. No way on earth could a mega drive do that. I'm skeptical a Saturn could.

I actively dislike Studiopolis. The colour palette is a mess and the act 1 boss has some real annoying physics to it

Bloody hell :dread:

Someone on GAF made a thread asking for advice on how to play this :!:

with others chiming in with I KNOW RITE?! IT'S WHY SONIC IS gooseberry fool. Imagine people needing to be told how to play a game "the right way" even though they know there are many ways to complete stages! WTFH?!

Just comment with go right and keep going generally right and all good.

Bought on Switch. I'm very much enjoying this. The act 2 boss :mrgreen:

Screw all you people having fun with this on console while I have to wait another two weeks for the PC version

It's just sitting there in my Steam library, taunting me.

Had this pre-ordered on Amazon, so naturally it's not arriving until tomorrow.

Thank lord for this game. Incredible.

That is all.

This isn't really a spoiler but I liked the surprise so I will spoiler it anyway, I loved how there are two arrangements of zone music, when GHZ 2 came on I was having a wee rave

I need the OST on spotify plz.

And yes lol act 2 boss.

Got my first what the strawberry float am I meant to do bit with studiopolis.

Not liking that level and can't work out the boss I do like 3 loops eventually run out rings and having the foggiest what I'm meant to actually do

This game though:

Ahhh makes sense, I had done that a few times and it did stuff so that makes sense. I was jumping on everything

This game makes me very, very happy. It's exactly as I remember the Mega Drive games feeling: there was speed but there was also exploration and experimentation (and a fair bit of frustration). It's amazing how well they've produced a real sequel to the 2D Sonic games.

Happy happy happy.
