Haven’t played a Sonic game in ages and wanna try something on Switch. Anything worthwhile getting?

Colors ultimate isnt like launch anymore, if you mind 20 bucks physical (Depends where you are buying at, i got it a year ago so it must be cheaper) and a NOT SO FAST Sonic (They didnt fix most bugs where you just fall to oblivion and Sonic takes the game slowly) get it.

#

I would tell you to get Frontiers, but i am still to buy it. Heard it was mid.

77 on metacritic, i dont think its that bad unless Sega managed to make it terrible.

Frontiers is good Maybe not so Polish, but as complete package, it's a great game, a decisive It's either for you or it's not. I recommend playing the demo before purchasing it But The demo only scratches the surface Has a really fun story And incredibly replayable levels Rough around the edges, not fully optimized on switch runs at 30 With lesser visuals.
But worth playing If switch is all you have.

Yeah, I'd say Sonic x Shadow Generations and Mania are your best options.

Origins is nice, but I'd say to get it on sale. Same with Superstars - I loved it, but I'd say it's more worth $40 than $60. Colors is probably in that camp too.

The Sega Ages ports of the first two Sonic games are fine, but there's really nothing in them that you can't get from Origins. If you HAVE to have the original experience for Sonic 2, it's on NSO, and let's be real, you don't need the original Sonic 1 experience.

Forces is... fine. Had potential, didn't capitalize on that potential well. If you absolutely HAVE to get it, don't get it on Switch.

Sonic mania is your best option 👍

#

Second one being sonic x shadow generations

#

The rest of the sonic games on switch are.... a mixed bag so to speak

#

I'd actually say second best would be Superstars, since Sonic Generations' Classic Sonic feels off

The physics are a bit weird, there's very little momentum play

#

It's kind of a cross between the two where there's not a lot of momentum, but you can get some crazy speed with the Spin Dash button

#

Yeah

#

Wasn’t that how it was in the original?

#

Yeah, that's how it always was in Gens

#

Ok

#

It's a case where rolling down hills isn't the recommended way to get speed like in the normal Classic titles

#

Fair, tho also Modern and Shadow Generations is literally peak 3D and with Mania as 2D

#

Its a good mix of the two

#

Honestly, I don't think the changes to Classic take away from it being fun

#

It's a good Sonic game, just not good at being a Classic Sonic game

next pasture
#

Yeah

#

Its a very different feel
