THIS, more than any other franchise entry in over two decades is why Sonic matters, and has always mattered.
Assembled by veteran fan-modder Christian Whitehead after SEGA yielded and said, 'FINE, we'll let someone else do one!', Sonic Mania feels every bit like the culmination of years' worth of ideas, refinements and the sort of attention to detail only a fan community would notice.Īs such, playing Sonic Mania is like a love letter to your childhood, whilst also being perfectly accessible for a whole new generation.
