Sonic's 30th Anniversary: Thoughts and Ramblings
2Sonic month! June of 1991 saw the start of one of the most prolific video game icons of all time. This is true whether you love sonic, hate him, feel 'meh', or think it's mad cringe. We've been streaming and playing through Sonic games all month, and now that we're done, I just wanted to give my thoughts on the franchise & history as a whole, as well as my views on where the series is heading.
Also, a few things I forgot to mention:
1) It sucks that Sonic Colors is going to be an Epic Games exclusive, although I do think it'll come around to other platforms and storefronts eventually.
2) I do think it's kind of a lame way to ring in Sonic's 30th with just a port of a decade old game, although if they rushed the next Sonic game, we'd get similar results to '06. So maybe they should've just planned it better in advance?
3) That said, I did play Sonic Colors on the Wii back in the day for a little bit and thought it was... Very okay. Very easy, very linear, not bad, but not amazing. I think the overhype for it in recent years is mostly due to the fact that it was a Wii exclusive (so not everyone could play it to verify how good it was), and that the recent stretch of games and the stretch of games leading up to Colors was so bad. All the same though, I hope this gives people chance to play it, and find out for themselves.
4) If you're curious as to why someone would NOT like Sonic Adventure 2 (a novel concept, I know), you could watch my playthrough of it, read my Steam review of it, or check out Implant Game's video review of it, as I watched it after I was done with SA2, and feel it is the most fair and balanced review of it, and he highlights the game's many issues.
