Sonic Mania

[Ben Kirkham]

Blah blah blah DRM blah blah Denuvo blah blah. There’s definitely a point to be made there – you should be able to play offline.

But I’ve not heard anyone talk about the game itself yet. I’ve been playing for a couple of days, and I’m really enjoying it. A smart and clever synthesis of the first four games, with a bit of Sonic CD, Sonic 3D and Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine thrown in for good measure. A bit like being 8 years old again!

Opinions?

Maybe Sonic was annoyed that Cedric called for his mum for help rather than for him, so he’s trying to undermine her parenting. Women!

I’ll take this version over that Sally Acorn bullshit any day 😩

Hey, Ken Penders’ writing may be unreadable dreck that comes across as a preposterously circuitous exercise in justifying the actions of his abusive father to himself, but at least he has a cool moustache.

If you like the bland, phoned-in early issues of STC where Sonic zooms around a loop and bops Robotnik on the head and they say a catchphrase, you’ll LOVE the unaffiliated universe (with shared artists) of the Grandreams Yearbooks + News of the World strips!
