My opinions on this game are.. mixed to say the least. First I want to get something out of the way, if you are new to the Sonic franchise and games, this is the best place to start officially. This is a collection of 4 of the arguably best Sonic games ever made. That being said, as a more hardcore fan. This is a rather disappointing collection, especially compared to what the fans have created. (Sonic Forever, Sonic 2 Absolute, and Sonic 3 A.I.R) The games are quite literally just the mobile ports but with Sonic 3 (which has been in legal hell for a good while) packed in. "Classic" mode isn't even the games from back in the 90s, they couldn't bother emulating them. No save slots that allow you to replay stages aside from Sonic 3 which has that feature by default. I could go on but I'd rather you watch a video. Overall, if you're new. I recommend this game. If you've been a fan for a good while? Play Sonic Forever, Sonic 2 Absolute, and/or Sonic 3 A.I.R

The soundtrack for Carnival night, Launch base and Ice cap Zones are different. That breaks my heart so bad. The rest of the game is enjoyable

Download the Sonic Origins Ultrafix mod if you buy this game, it improves the whole experience by leaps and bounds

Bad at launch but it's a decent way to play the originals now. Most issues like music are ironed out with mods. Would only recommend buying it on a sale though, SEGA delisting the old games was a bad move.

I have played through all four games in this collection, just most on switch instead of PC! TL;DR: All great games with good improvements, 1&2 have aged more than others but still good, though it's not a perfect collection so I recommend the "Origins Ultrafix" mod and restoring the OG Sonic 3 OST. This is a very solid collection! The genesis sonic games hold up surprisingly well, and giving them widescreen, no game over system, and the Mania drop dash for more fluid gameplay modernises them brilliantly, and I love the extra animations created to bring the stories together more cohesively (since most of that story took place in the manuals of the original games!) Sonic 1 and 2 are fun games that mostly show their age in some aspects like BS deaths, especially Sonic 1, but are still great games to experience nonetheless. They benefit the most from having infinite lives because I really don't see how I was supposed to beat them without it lol, but if you still like the challenge then they have the classic mode. CD is a controversial game but honestly I find it to be one of the best in the collection, there was never a moment like in either of the previous games where I felt properly frustrated at the game, it was just a solid experience! I also enjoyed getting the good ending, I've always felt that special stages were a drag and this game makes it completely optional, with the caveat that you have to search and destroy the generators in every zone's past to get the "good future" boss fight. People disagree on this, but I actually quite enjoyed exploring the stages vast mazes to search for the generators, and only had one or two moments where I had to look up a map. If you want to play normally though, just have 50 rings by the time you reach the goal post and beat the special stage collect all of the time stones, or don't bother, good ending is just a slightly different cutscene lol Sonic 3 & Knuckles is a brilliant game, I can really see the sparks of the modern series here because it feels like through the cutscenes I get to experience the story as it's happening a lot more than other games of it's era. This is where hype moments and aura began, people. Not only that, but the level design is top notch. If you've played Mania you can REALLY see the inspiration, because I always feel like there's something new around the corner and I love some of the set pieces. HOWEVER!!! This is not a perfect collection, there are plenty of new bugs and inaccuracies, and unfortunately the majority of the Sonic 3 OST had to be replaced due to copyrights, and while it's a perfectly fine soundtrack (based on some prototype songs from the original composer before MJ's sound team got involved) it's just not quite the same going down the hill of Ice Cap without that amazing sound. Luckily we are on PC and this game is supported by the best mod manager for sonic games, HedgeModManager! I would recommend grabbing the Sonic Origins Ultrafix mod to fix up all of the bugs and inaccuracies, and there is the "Sonic 3&K HQ Genesis (VGM) OST" mod for the original Sonic 3 OST. There are a few more things, but I would recommend looking at the "Sonic Perfect System" guide for more info on that if you want to play the definitive versions of each of these games. Either way, would definitely recommend picking this up when it's on sale, it's a great way to experience these classics.
