Sonic Game Recomendation?

Sonic 06

I collect them all, however none of the 3D ones are particularly gratifying for me. I enjoyed Sonic Mania. I also really wanted to like the one which is 2.5D 4 player coop, however it has some very serious balancing issues. The difficulty is all over the place.

Just noticed that the Sonic Advance games haven't been re-released in the west, they're tough but good platforming games of the GBA era. Sonic Battle is another GBA game that is actually a fun battler.

Of the 3D games, people always prefer Sonic Adventure 2, which I also think is better than Sonic Adventure 1 - it shows its age more than 2 - and although most people don't seem to like it, most levels of Sonic Heroes are interesting or fun, but having to play through all of them 4 times to unlock the final ending is a fucking chore.

Go buy Sonic X Shadows Generation, now.

Its an excellent way to enter the franchise gameplay wise. After that, you could either play Sonic Origins if you like Classic gameplay or Frontier for modern gameplay.

Only played the earlier games as they were included in some super old collection (Sonic Mega Collection Plus), but of these, all were pretty fun.

A tip: in one those earlier games, if a moving barrel never seems to fully move enough up or down, stay still and hold the directional button to the direction you want.

Ooh i was on the fence about generations (i know its a remake with additional content) but now im sold.

- Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles on the Sega Genesis.
- Sonic Generations
- Sonic Mania
- Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (Fan Game)

I might get mania, a friend was talking about it and i think I might get it at two bucks

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Robust kart racer with advanced mechanics that reward good driving and still-working online multiplayer!

I played the original Generations. The only downside I could think of back then was that it was too short (I wanted to play more!). Now, with the Shadow campaign, that's no longer an issue.

Haste

(sonic mania is my real answer btw, but haste is what I wanted out of a 3d sonic, only downside is that its levels are arcadey and procedurally generated rather than handcrafted.)

Truly the most luppyluppy answer in this thread

Sonic Chaos was pretty great

Fuck that barrel. Lost so many hours to that barrel as a kid.
