Sonic Superstars - Full Game Playthrough W/ All Chaos Emeralds (Story Mode)
48A full playthrough of the "Story Mode" in Sonic Superstars, mainly played with Sonic but occasionally switching to the other characters like Amy, Knuckles and Tails beyond their designated levels.
The version played here is the Switch version emulated on Yuzu, as the game already broke street date before October 17th. I already had preordered Sonic Superstars on Steam, it was more or less a way to get a quick first impression on the game (as I don't live in a first world country to get the game early...), but seeing as the game ran flawlessly on Yuzu with barely any glitches besides the graphical downgrade the Switch version has, I just played that instead. Will switch to the PC version for future videos and hopefully mod support.
Certain parts, like retries on certain bosses were edited out to ensure a proper viewing experience.
Overall thoughts:
I think Sonic Superstars is a good game with almost faithful physics and decent levels design and gimmicks, but I cannot in good faith recommend it, at least not at the full asking price of 60 dollars/euros. Level design, notably in the later levels, feels tailor made to annoy you rather than present a genuine challenge and lack the flow of the earlier levels, or even the latter levels in games like Sonic 3&K and Sonic Mania. The new emerald powers while neat in concept, feel overall tacked on, they do not serve for interesting or creative new level design, but literal crutches to cheese level design and especially the bosses... oh the bosses.
The bosses range from interesting to annoying. They rely too much on waiting and the final boss, while "challenging" feels challenging in the sense that it will challenge your patience. It feels like a time waster that you have to pay careful attention for an opening and strike then and there, otherwise waste precious seconds if not minutes of your fleeting life waiting for the next opportunity. It is not engaging nor fun.
Music is hit or miss, never have I seen a soundtrack so inconsistent, much less so in a Sonic game. Artstyle is overall pleasing, but I'm still a sucker for sprite based animation, despite the casual gamer thinking of sprite based games as "indie garbage".
TL; DR Game good, but not as good as Mania. Wait for a sale at 30 dollars or so.
