Sonic Colors plays the best of the batch, but even that has plenty of problems (and has a far superior 2D counterpart on DS that more people should play). Yes, even the Adventure series, which I respect but still maintain are bad games. The 3D installments have never gotten Sonic right. Sonic 2 is my favorite in the series and Sonic Mania, the 2017 throwback developed by a team of fans rather than Sonic Team proper, is the best entry in years. My love of Sonic, like many other 30-somethings, began on the Sega Genesis, so I firmly believe the character is at his best in 2D. I’ll admit that I’m a Sonic traditionalist. More specifically, the 3D entries, which are the oft-maligned titles responsible for decades of headaches for the Blue Blur. However, only one series came to mind as I skated across its teal clouds: Sonic the Hedgehog. Solar Ash is a great game that cherry-picks ideas from Jet Set Radio, Shadow of the Colossus, and Super Mario Galaxy.
