    Sonic Superstars - Fun but Flawed… (SPOILERS)

    Sonic Superstars being the next 2D Sonic game and is in 2.5D is an interesting choice. The multiplayer looked like fun (haven’t tried it but heard not so good things about it. Sonic Superstars was a fun time, but it has frustrations that couldn’t make it a favorite for me. The game overall looks visually amazing, oozing with color and character, love the animated intro and cutscenes. Seeing that being a trend with new Sonic games is really cool. The gameplay is typical 2D Sonic and they nailed the feel of the original Genesis games and Sonic Mania. Love the inclusion of the Chaos Powers when you collect the Chaos Emeralds and each has their uses for exploration and bosses. Every character is fun to play, especially Amy & new character Trip. Each Zone is unique and fun to explore in their own ways. The story isn’t anything special either, it’s cool to see Fang come back after DECADES of absence, but his fights were underwhelming and annoyingly slow. Trip is a great addition to the cast of Sonic characters and I hope she returns! She’s a cute character and love her interaction with Amy in the story. Overall, it’s a basic stop Dr. Eggman story as usual. HOWEVER, I have gripes. The music is a letdown compared to other Sonic soundtracks. They need to stop replicating the Genesis music and stick to what worked in Sonic Mania in terms of music. The bosses are probably the worst in the series. It’s a waiting game that takes too long to progress with hitboxes that are inconsistent… they drag the game down for me and felt janky to fight the majority of them… Overall, Sonic Superstars is still at its core a good game but it is flawed. Not the worst in the series compared to other games in the series. I recommend getting it at a discount. I got it during Black Friday for $40, it’s not worth $60. That price is a HUGE ask for a Sonic game with major problems…

    Sonic superstars is an ok game that is decent however not with friends. The chaos emeralds with there abilities are cool but not remarkable. The camera with friends is bad stretching it farther than Mr.fantastic. If you find the game cheap I don’t think it will be a bad play but the price it had when coming out indefinitely hurt its run.

    Not my favorite Sonic entry, but if you're a fan of the series, I still recommend. Maybe wait for a price drop though.

    My son loves Sonic but perhaps this game is just a tad too repetitive for his taste. Looks really cool and fast for sure but just not for him for now.

    It's not a terrible game for the first playthrough, but all of the content beyond that is of questionable quality. I was disappointed overall.
