But in its fixation on making a perfect recreation of '90s-era Sonic, some of the series' more egregious recurring problems remain present - with some modern quality-of-life elements nowhere to be found. As a result, Sonic Mania feels like the series' Genesis-period ideas taken to logical extremes, and then some. The result is Sonic Mania, a game that feels slavishly, almost fetishistically devoted to the old-school branch of Sonic gameplay and design. Then Sega gave these same fan developers the keys to its mascot, a partnership between developer Christian Whitehead and studios Headcannon and PagodaWest games. Sega initially shut the project down, but in a move that surprised many, the publisher gave one of these developers the go-ahead to finish a port of Sonic CD for consoles and mobile platforms to generally positive reception. Meanwhile, various fan projects have sought to create new "traditional" Sonic games via hacked-in additions to original game code, as well as completely, faithfully recreated versions of '90s-era Sonics. Since then, Sega has tried to reinvent the series over and over, with middling success. While some fans defend the Sonic oeuvre from the Dreamcast onward, the series' best days were behind it, reaching its absolute nadir with 2006's disastrous Sonic the Hedgehog.
With the jump to 3D in 1999's Sonic Adventure, the series retained its flash, but something was fundamentally broken in the translation. After the Genesis console faded, Sega went an entire hardware generation without a "proper" flagship Sonic release on the Saturn. Sega has had a nightmarish time trying to rekindle the magic and majesty of its iconic mascot since the blue hedgehog's peak in the '90s. Sonic Dash may be a new twist on Sonic's usual role, but it's a good game, and one of the best within the 'endless runner' genre.With Sonic Mania, Sega has done the unthinkable for a corporate player in video games: They've given it to the fans. If you have a powerful device, it will run very smoothly. Sonic Dash has spectacular, colorful graphics, with fantastic character models and levels that are packed with detail. If they do, they win - if they don't, then you've won. To do so, you just play the game as you normally would, then send your score to your friends so they can try to beat it. In Sonic Dash you can even challenge your friends to matches over the Internet, thanks to online ranking tables. It uses similar gameplay to the now-classic 'Temple Run' to produce an exciting experience that demands that you have good reflexes if you want to succeed.Įverything you'd expect from a Sonic: The Hedgehog game is here: familiar-looking levels, power-ups that give you different abilities, and popular characters like Tails and Knuckles. Sonic Dash is a platform game starring Sonic.
