I’m a 90s baby but my 1st 2 systems ever were a SNES & a Genesis as hand me downs when I was 5 in 2000, so I ultimately hadda get both this and Super Mario Wonder as well. Happy Gaming!
3:21 The only reason Sonic feels "outclassed" by everyone else in this game is because the developers foolishly chose not to give Sonic the insta shield or any of the elemental shields from Sonic 3!
I give it 8 out of 10 just beat it this afternoon I'm loving it on my ps5 60fp beautiful colors. I'm 34 years old i grew up playing these types of games
I love the game.. For ages I was upset that Sega lost the console wars. I rooted you with all my being as a child. This game simply states “I am still here! Alive and well and I’m on ALL consoles!” .. And me as I fan… I can only say.. what a smart and strategic move. I understand now and I’m proud of you Sega. #sega #segagenesis #Sonic #SonicSuperstars
@@tylerrusnak7736Mania is a nostalgic rehash that does deliver good levels but superstars is a fresh new game both games have their charme but I think superstars is the stronger game overall
I love that Sonic’s OG form is a rabbit referencing his concept design!! Also love that Amy is becoming a core player in the franchise again. Ever since CD & her reintroduction in Adventure she’s been my favorite character and she’s been pretty flanderized for years. I feel like now with games like Frontiers she’s slowly coming closer to her Adventure role where she had a life outside of Sonic & despite her crush on him they would still be able to joke about it & hang out without it seeming weird and stalker-ish (like in Adventure 2 when she breaks him out of jail). And it seemed like she was more like a friend to Sonic instead of an annoyance/inconvenience. Super excited to see Sega prioritizing her again and to see what they’re gonna do with her!
Can reviews not knock it because he’s not going fast? A great platformer can’t go break neck speeds. Sega knows they put themselves in a box with that one and ppl won’t let them leave.
@@Fade2Dark I've never cared about innovation or evolution personally, I just care about execution. I just care about (IMO) quality. And I think Sonicmania did a better job at what it was trying to be
@@juansanchez209 I respect your opinion but to each his own. I agree mania was a perfectly executed replica of the originals but I disagree on whether that makes for a better game.
@@Fade2Dark It did update the mechanics from the classic games and added a looot of stuff. But yeah, I agree that it lacked originality. However gameplay-wise I still prefer it over superstars, but that's just my opinion.
Played the early ones in the 90s and loved the og platforming with all it's flaws. Been waiting for a a game like Sonic Generations on the Switch for ages now and with Frontiers also out there this one is a must for me.
The ones who argue about the hydrocity name are the same weirdos who compare Sonic’s sprites or his color scheme or his quills being too short on Twitter.
@leadme2thebliss21 the challenges are fun but the core gameplay for 95% of the stages don't gold up..classics physics are awful and modern is hold forward to win
@@maxisenberg9093People phrase that sentence like Sonic has to just run and you win. So are we ignoring the obstacles in levels that doesn't make that so easy? Maybe skilled people can get through that. Bit for those who aren't used to boosting, they can let go of the button before they overshoot and lose a life.
"Glaring flaws... The zones are miserable slog... An awkward experience... Lack of rewards... Online is an underwhelming mess... boss fights way too long... 7/10!" Another great review IGN.. Or wait Gamespot. Either/or. Doesn't matter
This does not live up to the older sonic at all. Not worth the price, the emerald powers are useless for majority of the game. Needs to be half the price it currently is
@@teryliuhoo5989 nostalgia speaking for me personally, I played the genesis version as a kid along with Sonic 2 so i have good memories of it especially the music. I guess great isn’t the best way to describe it but I think it’s a good game for what it was.
I've watched a UA-camr play the full game. I stopped watching the gameplay because I felt very disappointed. Level design is so beautiful. But every time Sonic collects rings he always gets hit and loses them all.
Just platinumed this last night. I would say this was about as fun as the advance trilogy, although the story isn’t as cool and the level design/music is very hit and miss. Lots of good moments for sure, but I personally put the classics above this, including Mania.
Being a 80s Baby... This and Mario Wonder is Mandatory!!! 🎮🔥❤️

Zool and cool spot, I also loved Robocod.
Yeah James Pond Robocod was fun

Getting this on Switch and Super Mario Bros Wonder.
One of the Best sonics for sure, loved every min
Fact
Far from truth! it is not even close to sonic 2 or sonic 3/sonic and knuckles! I am massively disappointed

This game deserves 8/10 at least
I think it deserves a 5 at best.
@@GamingRobiotosad that you can’t beat fang so you hate on the game?
Cool review,I used to play classic sonic from time to time,I'm definitely buying myself a copy when I get the chance to.
So colorfull with classic gameplay. Back to the nature, this sonic game + mario wonders = Magnificent collection!! 😍💖
The real problem here is the price.
I'm waiting for price to get low

I haven't liked playing Sonic since the Sega Genesis, and this looks absolutely amazing. I would love to play this game.
Sonic Mania from 2017 was a good platforming Sonic. I played with my son on his Nintendo Switch.
Please don't. It's terrible. Mania is a real sonic game, this is a pretender.

This games is almost like a love letter to the franchise.
That was Sonicmania
@@juansanchez209I’m honestly having more fun with this game than Mania. Mania was too scared to do bold new things.

8:21 I'm still playing it
It was good, however IMO its not as good as mania or 3&k.
8/10
Mania is overrated. It didn’t offer anything new. I guess that was the point though. Bring back a super old game…

why is there a baby robot on amy's back
Good game but the glitches that plague the single player and co op is insane plus the mp mode is a waste of time
It's a buggy mess.
8:15 Sticks the landing with a ****ing new idea?
😂 thought I heard that too!
Chris Chan's gonna LOVE this
Oh no, you don't know, do you?
Sonic 1 was my first game, Sonic 3 and Knuckles gave me a lot of memories, I may pick this one up =D

You just angry you didn't say it right 😂😂😂😂😂
No Baldur's Gate 3 review yet?
The emeralds need a cool down if playing by yourself.
They do have that
Sonic 4 - Episode 3 is probably the best Sonic 4 game to date.
They never made episode 3
@@fritospie7982 Superstars is Sonic 4 Episode 3. Mr. Segason himself said so in an interview.
@@RickyNuggets

It got a 7
I give sonic superstars a 10/10
Just not a 60 dollar game.

Facts💯🤣🤣🤣🤣
Used to think generations was one of those flawed yet fun games...now it's just bad
Really? I liked it but haven't played it in forever

Can i play with matchmaking?
Hydro...City. 2 words 😅
6:42 It's HydroCity!
this and mario wonder will be the games to own this christmas
Me and my sweetheart, Megan will be playing this game together.
So sonic fans is it really Hydrocity or Hydrocity?
Can't help but look at this and wish they went for a true 2D mania style.
Why didn't you give it a score on Metacritic? You're review is on there, but no score. Why?
This does not live up to the older sonic at all. Not worth the price, the emerald powers are useless for majority of the game. Needs to be half the price it currently is
This review sold the game. That one is definietly better from the Ign review..
How have you not twlked about the physics? Thats literally the one thing that will make or break a game
No. Graphics are an afterthought. It's all about the gameplay.
@frankhemstra634 I didn't say anything about graphics lol. Physics come first Ina sonic game lol
@@maxisenberg9093 correct. I somehow completely read that wrong 😅
Didn't even know this game even existed until 3 days ago why is that ?
The boss are long because if you have four people then the old sonic boss would last 5 seconds
7/10 this must be a masterpiece
My only real complaint is the hang tough special stage. Shoulda redone Sonic 2 special stage. 8/10
couldn't agree more, that would've been more exciting and fun
Regardless of how you pronounce, "Hydrocity" it's supposed to be followed by, "Foot Doctor"
Wait for a sale .... believe me
Looks average at best, has a fan game vibe. Some of the level gimmicks are terrible and look to be implemented as filler.
I like Sonic Superstars
sonic is always awesome 😄👍
Re-release Sonic Heroes Sega. Sonic's legacy has been ruined by Roger Craig Smith since 2010 for money purposes only.
No thanks
We want a Super Mario Kart SNES Remaster
These are all good takes, unlike ign 😒
Sonic mania 2 when? only good sonic made in the last 28 years
🤡
Nah. Generations, SA2, the Advance trilogy, Rush, Rush Adventure, all amazing Sonic games.
Generations, 3D blast, adventure and Adventure 2 were great

So do I believe your review or Pete Dorr’s review 🤔 💡 Pete Dorr who isn’t setting people up to pay a AAA price for a $25 game
It's hydrossity tho

Yeah thats what rings are for xD they protect you from damage
mfs when it takes skill to get good at a game
Mario wonder still on TOP
Its not even out yet relax
@@xfactor8856 have you seen the rating it has 93%
istg the only people these days who still care about the mario vs sonic debate are mario fans

No1 cares we are here for sonic if I wanted an opinion on Mario I'd go to that review.
@@woah8921 fact is both communities
7/10 means I'll pay $3 to play it, or Xbox Game Pass it.
Yikes 3 bucks for a good game is just greedy but I get valuing your dollar.

Mario Wonder ist worth $3 too then

Is Heidi talking in this video? Sounds like a guy
It is a guy. Pretends to be a female online, though.
It looks not as good as last mario game.
Mario.
It's better
Who cares stop comparing Sonic with Mario
Wow you really butchered this game
The game butcheres itself
Mario wins again!
The multiplayer is unplayable. The main game is only 3 hours long 😂 cash grab
Mario wonder is also short
