The WhatsNext verdict
For Sonic fans looking for a colorful 2D platformer, with the option to play locally with friends.: Fast side-scrolling stages invite you to build momentum, explore branching routes, and use Emerald powers to change how you move and attack. Tradeoff: Maintaining speed and finding the best routes can take practice; multiplayer shifts the focus toward shared platforming rather than precision solo runs.
