So I by the powers that be I decided to look up some sonic games and was pleasantly surprised that they’re all on sale and was looking for some recommendations. My only exposure to sonic is I know its a sort of action platformer and the franchise has changed a lot. Only games I’ve played was like a browser version of the OG and some spin off racing one on the Wii U.
I was definitely was gonna get frontiers and strongly considering sonic x shadow generations for like 30 bucks but I was wondering if there were any must haves


My brief answer is 1, 2, Mania, & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed. Very minimalist.
Is newer cart racer not as good as transformed?
I don’t know. Haven’t played it. But I can say that it came after the recent major shift to enshittification across gaming, so I’m fine sticking with the tried and true.
To be clear, not recommending against, just don’t have the experience to affirmatively recommend for.
