  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a very entertaining, casual-paced visual novel based on a beloved video game franchise. I enjoyed my time playing it, and I’m impressed by the level of detail and care put into a free title. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is one April Fools’ Day joke that’s so much better than one initially expects it to be, and a part of me hopes there might be more games of this ilk in Sonic the Hedgehog’s future.

  Despite being originally released as some sort of April Fool’s prank, The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog is not a joke. Sure, it’s silly as hell, but it’s a pretty decent and lighthearted visual novel with some clever writing and a unique premise.

  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a must-play experience. Sega has hit it out of the park with a Sonic-themed mystery adventure visual novel boasting captivating storytelling, fantastic character interaction, as well as a stellar presentation and soundtrack of similar quality.

  The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog has some really detailed and colorful artwork, with each of the characters represented really well. The script is humourous and does keep you engaged for the approximately two hours it takes to complete the game. The soundtrack is also very good too with a decent set of tunes accompanying the mystery.

  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog es mucho más que una simple broma del April Fools' Day. Es una novela visual entretenidísima y hecha con muchísimo cariño que nos ha tenido con una sonrisa en la boca de principio a fin investigando el misterio que rodea al asesinato de este icono de los videojuegos. Sus principales claves las tenemos en una historia muy amena y bien construida, en unos diálogos divertidos y bien escritos y en un apartado audiovisual muy cuidado, virtudes que se anteponen a sus pocos defectos, como un minijuego de acción que no nos ha terminado de cuajar.

  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog es una novela visual dinámica, entretenida y con mucho humor que deberías probar. Totalmente gratuito, tanto el estilo visual escogido como los diálogos y el desarrollo de la trama valen la pena. Son dos horas, pero te pasarán volando. Eso sí, no esperes unos grandes desafíos a la hora de encontrar y conectar pistas, ya que es muy sencillo en su desarrollo, y el minijuego de recoger anillos que usa para avanzar en la aventura se puede hacer algo pesado en el tramo final.

  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog è una visual novel semplice e breve, ma piacevole, graficamente curata e soprattutto completamente gratuita. Il minigioco platform poteva evitare l'impennata di difficoltà finale, ma se siete amanti del riccio blu dovreste dargli un'occasione.

  The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog ha tanti pregi, su tutti l'abilità di declinare ancora una volta il personaggio di Sonic in un altro genere. Dando la giusta profondità a ogni membro del cast, SEGA continua nell'apprezzabile impegno di fornire maggiore stratificazione al suo universo. Tuttavia, mentre la soluzione del mistero è abbastanza semplice, il minigame d'intermezzo finisce - nelle fasi conclusive - per risultare anche abbastanza frustrante. Insomma, al netto della scarsa durata, l'opera appare un po' squilibrata nelle sue componenti ludiche.
