holy shit bros..

not surprised it is a 90+, I grew up with the PC port of SnK+Sonic CD, Sonic 1, emulated Sonic 2, and the Sonic Advance games. Sonic Mania might be my favorite now. Or at least Sonic Mania is the most consistent title, meaning, there is nearly nothing bad about it. Even though there are like only 2 entirely new stages the old ones are so revamped they aren't even remotely the same

The only levels that feel at all untouched are one of the acts of lava reef (the other one is balls to the wall with shit like the treadmills from quartz quadrant) and I think one of the acts in Hydrocity. Even GHZ feels pretty radically changed depending on what route you take.

That's not "almost perfect", which indicate a few niggles. Those are fatal flaws.

On the critics side, the handheld games and the Dreamcast are very overrated. Advance 3 sucks ass especially.
I enjoyed some of the bad 3D games more than the bland handheld games.

>>387417485

PC version doesn't come out for another week and a half, and it'll probably sell the worst due to either butthurt over the delay or either piracy or DRM depending

>>387417485
Sales will probably boost when it releases on PC, Mania is currently the top selling game at the Nintendo eShop and one of the best sellers at PSN too.

I'll give you Lava Reef Act 1 though, but act 2 is completely different

>>387419673
The remake does feel pointless after everyone had already played AM2R, but I think Prime 4 will save the franchise.
