Sonic Mania Plus Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
My first gaming console was the Sega Genesis. Because of that, Sonic was a big part of my childhood as I loved playing his titles. With Sonic Mania Plus, not on
Sonic Mania brings fans back into the 2D world of platform games with nostalgic pixel-style art and core classic gameplay by reimagining iconic Zones and Acts from Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic CD and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles.
Sonic Mania Plus is an excellent addition to an already fine game and easily the best Sonic game in years.
First of all, I know that Sonic Mania has been reviewed already here on The Outerhaven, but this is Sonic Mania Plus! Essentially this is an update to Sonic Mania that was originally released.

Easily one of the most satisfying and fun experiences you could have on Switch and any system was Sonic Mania. The return to roots for Sega’s Blue Blur wasn’t
Last year, 90’s icon Sonic the Hedgehog celebrated his 25th Anniversary with a one-two punch of games. There was the official entry to the Sonic series the “big budget” Sonic Team produced: 3D epic Sonic Forces. The other was a Christian Whitehead produced (with Sonic Team support) fully 2D entry designed as a celebration of Sonic The Hedgehog’s 16 bit heritage named Sonic Mania. Released only as digital download, the idea I suppose was to have Sonic Mania release first as an appetise...
