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


It doesn’t get a lot of love, but my favorite has always been Sonic Adventure. It was the first real 3D sonic and the open world, multiple playable characters (Yeah the fishing sucks), and level pacing made it stick out for me.
Its one of the few sonic games where I feel like you don’t have to memorize a level’s paths to actually play the game well. You feel like you’re moving fast, but still feel like you can make active decisions while playing.
However, that probably puts me on the outskirts of the sonic fandom.
