Is Sonic Superstars Any Good? Well...

*************
Sonic Superstars, the latest 2D Sonic game, is upon us, and I have been given the opportunity to play it early and give my thoughts on release day! How did I feel about Sonic Superstars? What is the game like and should you play it? All questions I hope to answer before the video ends!

It’s kinda baffling how after over 30 years Sega finally decided to give each individual Chaos Emerald it’s own unique power-up. Really gives more incentive to collect them other than just getting to play as Super Sonic.

I always thought Classic Sonic looked a little weird in Generations, but Superstars is the first time I think Classic Sonic looks genuinely really good in 3D.

[Substantial-hfrm]

Regardless of how good or not it is, 60 dollars for what is clearly a budget 2d platformer that's only a few hours long is insane.

Superstars is the most "Yeah, it's good." game I've played in a bit lol.
Having fun. Not the grandest follow up to Mania but it does the job and aside from the general sound design and inconsistent OST, I've been having a good time with it.

Finally, a proper Sonic Superstars review that actually criticize the actual game itself

[rainpooper]

This game fills me with sorrow for the death of handheld consoles. Less than a decade ago, something like this could have been on the 3DS for around 30 bucks and it would have been fine. But no, every charming little spinoff game has to be 60 bucks these days and I find myself passing on more and more of them.

9:08 another good thing about the special stages is that you can actually use the bombs to your advantage. You can homing attack one and just release the jump button before hitting it. It is a great way to make some straight forward movements that the blue and yellow spheres won´t allow to.

You see…this game for a platformer is alright at the core, a fun time for just to romp through casually. But the fact that it’s 60 definitely soured other’s opinions, including my own.

[ArtUndertheArch]

I'm so on the fence with this game - it's just that price tag I'm struggle with

[dwaynegotgameso]

Godamn man im Proud of you. You were able to get SEGA to sponsor you, big respect man.

[cloudshines]

I like how Sonic Superstars actually feels like a proper Sonic The Hedgehog 5, with clean and pretty visuals, great animation, damn fun multiplayer, and some neat references that I’m glad aren’t just long forgotten in Sonic lore. Despite some of its shortcomings (especially its price tag), I’m quite happy both Mario and Sonic had new 2D outings that are extremely fun and well made :)

[MrWaspMan]

One of the best Sonic games I've ever played. Varied, vibrant worlds, smooth controls, and the character designs are great. And I love that they brought Fang the Sniper back.

[PMZaphod]

I'm really glad sega sponsored this, your channel has grown so much

[JeskidoYT]

If this game hits $40 or even $30 one month from now, mark my words, this would be SEGA's top selling game since sonic frontiers. You can uphold me to my word

[megamob]

I’ll definitely be waiting for a sale on this one. Looks good, but that price point is just silly. Thanks for a fair and balanced review

[gertytk]

It baffles me why they didn't make online multiplayer for Mania or this game. The very few times when I would've cared about online multiplayer in a game.

[fortheloveofgodlaugh]

The 60$ price is totally not ok for this game. I can't even begin to count the amazing indie 2D platformers as well as previous Sonic games that are a better use of your money than this.

[PokémonCoordinatorMare]

Even if the game doesn't live up to expectations, Sonic is still in the middle of a Renaissance.
The movies are fantastic, Sonic Frontiers is now tied with Sonic Unleashed as my favorite game, and Frontiers is just legit a good game. Sonic Prime is a pretty decent cartoon, and the comics are SO good. God it is GOOD to have you back Sonic.

[Sxncyd]

idk whether its just me but that fang bossfight (golden capital) had no right to be as fustrating as it was.

[TJZ]

Critics the past three years: “This is the right step for Sonic”









Me: HOW MANY STEPS DOES IT TAKE TO STOP GETTING JUST BARELY GOOD GAMES!?
