After the utter abomination that was Sonic Boom, it seemed that all hope was lost for my ultimate childhood gaming hero. Generations and Colors very nearly started a trend of games that I still consider ‘quite-to-very’ good, sadly it didn’t last long. Sure, there were flowers growing from the ever sinking mud of 3D Sonic games. For whatever reason, the move to 3D had stifled and bemused his developers, seemingly unaware of what to do with him, the exact opposite happening to Mario also lost me bragging rights on the playground. It was heartbreaking to see my favourite mascot consistently put in games that were not worthy of his name. Sonic as a character had become a bit of a punchline, and as a Sonic veteran, this made me sad. On paper, everything seemed like it was moving in the right direction. Sonic Mania has been probably my most anticipated game since it’s reveal in July of 2016. The blue blur returns in his crowning achievement.
