Haxorus Rage

This game has to be one of the best games I’ve ever played. It has everything you would want from a 2D sonic game. Unlike sonic 1/2 which had a tough time deciding if it wanted to be a tough platformer or a relaxing speed simulator, this game has a perfect amount of Both. On top of that, S3&K has a lot of replayability due to the fact you can play as either sonic, tails or knuckles. Knuckles and tails don’t seem too OP compared to sonic as they all have their pros and cons. The graphics are beautiful, colourful and full of detail (even if some people dislike how sonic looks in this game) and the soundtrack is just so SO good. The only thing bringing S3&K back is the limitations of the Genesis/Mega drive which is why I recommend you play sonic 3 A.I.R (a widescreen remaster of S3&K with many new additions such as achievements, bug fixes and a lot of customisable options).
