Get it on sale and install project re rainbow and colors act restoration mod.

July 2025

Absolutely terrible remaster of one of my favourite Sonic games. Only recommended because of Project Re-Rainbow, and because I love Sonic Colours.

May 2025

Great game, terrible port. Blind squirrel should be ashamed of themselves for doing the bare minimum

I do not understand why this game has a Mixed score on Steam. Maybe because I never played the original on the Wii? Other people keep mentioning this mod that is the "definitive experience" or something but after looking into it, it looked like just graphical upscaling. That's cool and all, and if you want that all the power to you, but the game looks fine without it and it didn't seem to impact gameplay in any way (which matters to me FAR more than graphics) so I didn't even bother. Un-modded, this was a solid 8.5/10 experience. It played well, was a lot of fun, and was incredibly replayable. I even went out of my way to collect every red ring and I'm even interested in getting every S rank for the fun of it. It's somewhat short, but that's not uncommon for Sonic games. You really get your moneys worth if you go out of your way to hunt for secrets, but I realize that isn't for everyone so take that into account. I'd say like 9-10 hours casual and like 15-20 completionist, maybe more. I'm writing this at 12 hours and like I said I got all 180 red rings, unlocked Super Sonic, got the credits, and I'd say I've got like half of the 44 Acts S ranked. I ran into a small handful of glitches, like "I could count on one hand how many" small. Bummer, but from what I've seen of the original in YouTube videos the glitches I experienced weren't new additions to this remaster. (Plus... I mean... it is a Sonic game... so yeah.) If you are interested in this game but on the fence and the only thing dissuading you is the mixed score and the negative reviews calling this game a "crime against remasters"... I'm telling you I either got a different build of the game than they did or they've got nostalgia glasses on because I don't regret this purchase in any way. Granted I did get it on sale, so take that into account.
