Sonic Mania
When SEGA first showed fans what they could expect in the upcoming Sonic Mania, fans lost their minds. It was everything they’d been asking for, for so long. A 2D adventure that harks back to Sonic’s glory days on the Genesis. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles will have a range of new and old abilities to help them navigate their way through new worlds. Oh, and there will even be classic stages with “new twists” thrown in for good measure. This game has so much potential to put the recent run of bad Sonic games to an end, but there’s just one problem.
We’re sorry SEGA fans, but c’mon, it’s the Sonic cycle all over again. Sonic fans are already banking a lot on this one, and while it definitely looks like it’ll be one crazy throwback, whether or not its gameplay will live up to today’s standards very much remains to be seen. As much promise as Sonic Mania has, the series’ run of poor form lingers over it.
