Sonic Superstars (PS5)

Sonic Superstars stumbles a fair bit--but when it gets up to speed, it really shines.

Sonic Superstars may ditch the Pixels, but its the Mania sequel we were all hoping for.

Sonic Superstars Review ( PS5 ) – Sonic Superstars marks the return of classic 2D Sonic in the first original outing since the unfortunate release of Sonic 4 and over 5 years since the lauded Sonic Mania . It also marks the first time that Sonic has ever been a fully co-operative experience, with up to 4 different players able to join in the fun. In a time where Sonic is returning back to the front of public attention thanks to movies, TV shows and orchestras, a game that allows absolutely anyone to experience the blue blur with a friend (or three) feels like it’s landing at just the right time. Lying beneath these new inclusions is a Sonic game that embodies the very best of Sonic’s history, while also slipping into some bad habits along the way that hold it back from true greatness.
