My personal favourite sonic game and one of my personal favourites out of any game. Sonic Mania such a great game because it gives the players nostalgia with the old zones from old games (with new zones too), pixel art style and the awesome OST. Sonic Mania consists of three characters (five if you include the dlc), whom are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the two characters from the quite obscure arcade game SegaSonic The Hedgehog: Mighty and Ray, all having different special abilities. Sonic can now use a feature called the drop dash, Tails can fly, Knuckles can glide and climb walls, Mighty can break the ground and avoid spikes and Ray can soar in the air. There is 12 zones in the game, 8 originating from old games and 4 new zones. This game was a blast to play through, and I recommend it to anyone who loves the classic 2D sonic games and want a hit of nostalgia. Overall, this game gets a 5/5 rating.

This game is an absolute masterpiece in my eyes and is one of my favourite games of all time, and that won't change. Everything is great: the graphics, the music, the art style, etc. This game does everything almost perfectly, with little to no bugs that can be found. This game can be frustrating at times, as it is very hard especially when it's your first time playing. But that's what makes this game even better, is the challenging gameplay where as if it was too easy, it wouldn't be as great as it is. Quick summary of the game: Dark Souls but family-friendly and cartoony. I recommend anyone to play this game, either alone or with others. Five stars.
