Sonic Mania is a game for people who grew up with Sonic the Hedgehog and have been waiting for a return to those 2D roots. This is one for those who have always wanted a retro-fabulous entry after enjoying or weathering 3D outings. It is for people who have heard good things about the series over the years, but never played. Everyone will find something to love about the hedgehog’s latest outing.

Sonic Mania isn’t just a great game for old Sonic fans. It’s a great game. This inspiration from the past should be Sonic’s future.

Sonic Mania is a delightful return to the 2D platforming style that first made the hedgehog a star. The love from the development team for 16-bit Sonic is evident in every moment of the game. Fans of classic Sonic must buy this game, but the excellent level design, music, and graphics will please all people who enjoy a well-thought-out sidescroller.

Regardless, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Sonic Mania, and it’s a clear example of just how successful fan-created passion projects can be when they’re nurtured by a studio. I’m also hopeful that the 2D journey doesn’t end here either, but encourages Sega to continue further down this road with even more new content in the future. In the meantime, 3D fans have Sonic Forces to look forward to when it launches later this year.

Sonic Mania is forcing me to use one of the most forbidden cliches in a reviewer's lexicon. The mileage you get out of it will depend significantly on what you want it to be. As a synthesis and expression of a specific era of Sonic, Sonic Mania is devout toward its inspiration, for devout fans of Sega's beleaguered mascot. If more of what Sonic is what you want, then this is very much that, but more, and bigger, and faster.

Speaking of nostalgia, some might knock Sonic Mania a bit for playing off nostalgia the way it does, but does it really matter when it’s done this well? At least for the moment, Sonic is back!

Sonic Mania is a true return to form for the mascot, in his 2D 'Classic' guise at least. It celebrates the glory days of the original games while also enhancing their qualities and taking on new ideas. From new areas, imaginative second acts and some delightful boss encounters, the development team has poured a lot of passion and talent into the project. The occasional bug and a couple of brief and cheap areas deprive it of Sonic-style perfection, but it's pretty darn close.

Very few stones have been left unturned to create what is a contender for the best Sonic title ever made. More than just an anniversary celebration, Sonic Mania is full of fresh ideas, balancing its source material and addition of all-new elements to elevate it beyond many other platformers that rely heavily on the same old formulas. It is a great pity that Sonic 4 exists, because no game deserves that name more than Sonic Mania; this is the Sonic 4 you have all been waiting for.

Sonic Mania is a love letter to fans of the franchise, who will no doubt lap it up. But it also feels like a missed opportunity to be what Sega has never achieved before: a truly great Sonic game.

Sonic Mania es mucho más que una medida desesperada para una situación desesperada. Es, de entrada, algo bastante parecido a lo que debería haber sido Sonic 4 en su día —también lo podrían haber llamado Sonic CD 2, de no ser por el formato descargable, o Sonic Mix, si no existiera esta cosa. Es un anacronismo precioso, un «por y para fans» puro y duro, cargado de energía positiva que le sirve al erizo para coger aire.

Sonic Mania es una delicia de principio a fin, una carta de amor al personaje de Sega que recoge sus mayores logros en la época de los 16 bits y les da una nueva vida con un título que mantiene la estética y la jugabilidad de antaño, pero sin renunciar a ser una obra muy completa, divertida, fresca, dinámica, carismática y con mucho por hacer.

Sonic Mania cumple con creces su objetivo de recuperar la esencia 2D del erizo azul de Sega. Lo hace con el lema "de fans para fans", confiando en desarrolladores independientes para traer al presente un legado diluido con el paso del tiempo. El resultado es magnífico, un título con variedad y cantidad de niveles que se conjugan en un producto de calidad, el cual hace honor a un personaje recientemente maltratado.

Y es que, al fin y al cabo, Sonic Mania es, más que nunca, un juego hecho por fans para fans, donde la pasión por una saga va por delante del dinero. Si no has jugado nunca a los Sonic vas a encontrar un divertido juego de plataformas clásicas, pero si los recuerdas con cariño la experiencia se multiplica, ampliada con extras para extender su duración. Para nosotros, Sonic Mania es la mezcla perfecta de jugabilidad, encanto, fan service y, para qué negarlo, nostalgia.

Größtenteils gelungener Remix Sonics bester Jahre, der aber unter einigen Designfehlern und übernommenen Altlasten leidet.

Lorsqu'il s'agit de briser le fameux Sonic Cycle, le facteur nostalgie est si puissant qu'il faut toujours savoir prendre du recul devant un jeu taillé pour prendre les joueurs par les sentiments. Comparé à presque tous les Sonic 2D qui ont pu sortir de chez Sega ces dix quinze vingt dernières années, Mania est une bénédiction qui mérite largement l'investissement.

Avec Sonic Mania, SEGA (et plus particulièrement Christian Whitehead) avait un objectif bien précis : satisfaire en premier lieu les vieux fans de la série, ceux qui ont grandi avec le hérisson speed au début des années 90. Et de ce point de vue-là, le pari est réussi haut la main. Pour ce faire, les développeurs ont réutilisé tous les ingrédients de l’époque pour en proposer une nouvelle alternative.

À la fois fun, speed et respectueux de ses origines, Sonic Mania est un formidable hommage aux meilleurs épisodes 2D. En mixant les mécaniques d'antan aux tendances actuelles, le jeu parvient à se réinventer grâce à des niveaux inspirés et une multitude de situations et références. Réussi graphiquement et possédant une bande son fantastique, il offre un rapport qualité/prix imbattable et ne pourra que tirer la larmichette aux nostalgiques de la première heure.

Numa dimensão ou linha temporal alternativa, Sonic Mania seria o primeiro jogo do ouriço azul para a Sega Saturn e talvez esta tivesse tido outro destino, sendo que este é o maior elogio que se lhe poderia fazer. Finalmente, um novo jogo com o nome Sonic que não só vai agradar a todos os fãs dos originais como vai ainda mais longe ao criar o seu próprio legado. Como crítica apenas se lhe pode apontar um ou outro nível menos bem conseguido e um crescendo final abaixo das expectativas da série.

Sonic Mania è senza dubbio una delle rivelazioni di questo 2017, ed il ritorno allo stile di gameplay 2D che la community stava aspettando da diverso tempo: un titolo realizzato dai fan, per i fan. Se rientrate nell'identikit di questo giocatore tipo di Sonic, fedele dai tempi del Mega Drive, allora state certi che in questo titolo troverete ciò che state cercando, se invece non avete mai giocato ai titoli classici, quale miglior occasione per cominciare?

В целом же Sonic Mania – все еще не та обязательная к прохождению для всех и каждого игра (какой ее называет, например, Eurogamer), и в первую очередь из-за своего чрезмерного упора на ностальгию. Но зато это именно то возвращение Соника, которого мы ждали: быстрое, увлекательное, вариативное, захватывающее дух своей скоростью, с потрясающим пиксель-артом и блистательным саундтреком. Фанаты синего ежа наконец получили то, чего ждали с 1994 года, – причем от таких же фанатов, как они сами.

Sonic Mania, eski kafalı arkadaşların kolayca ısınabileceği, yeni mekaniklere kolayca alışabileceği ve sorunsuz bir şekilde bitirebileceği oyunlardan biri. Hem yetişkin kitleye hitap ederken, yeni başlayan yetişkin yaştaki oyunculara ise daha iyi hitap ediyor, çünkü her ne kadar hızlı olsa da Sonic'in ana özelliği oyuna kolay alışabilmeniz ve karakterlere verdiğiniz sempati ile oyunu farklı açıdan izleyebilmeniz olmuştur.
