Our analysis

Sonic Mania brings fresh life to classic 2D Sonic with smooth high-speed runs, branching paths, beautiful animation and excellent music. He strongly recommends it, especially to old-school fans, despite wishing for a physical release.

Our analysis

Sonic Mania admirably recreates the style of the Genesis games, but its long levels, time limits and elaborate bosses frustrate. Exploration is confusing, and the nostalgic style hides flaws in the older games' design.

Our analysis

Sonic Mania faithfully recreates classic Sonic physics with slightly tighter controls, a new drop dash, and inventive vertical level design; Falcon calls it as close to flawless as Sonic has been since 1994 and highly recommends it at twenty bucks.

    Our analysis

    Johnny finds Sonic Mania amazing, praising its forgiving level design, momentum, visuals and soundtrack. Its nostalgic callbacks may mean less to newcomers, but the occasional collision issues barely affected his experience.
