For over 30 years, the adventures of this blue rodent have delighted thousands of players, with its adrenaline levels and charismatic characters. And now that it seems that this franchise has no intention of stopping, we asked ourselves: what are the best titles for the character?
The fastest games of all
So to commemorate that in a few months we will have among us Sonic X Shadow Generations is that we have researched which are the most appreciated titles according to users of Metacritic. Here we will talk about the most classic character to the new titles. Now let’s start:
5. Sonic CD
We open the list with one of SEGA’s hedgehog heavyweights. The character’s move to CDs, as the name suggests, is for many fans of the character, one of the best stories Sonic has ever starred in. Plus, it introduced us to iconic characters such as the deadly Metal Sonic. It has an 82 on Metacritic.
4. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
If the first Sonic installment already laid the foundation for SEGA’s global phenomenon, this sequel has improved on it in almost every aspect. The gameplay has been polished as much as possible and introduced characters that are a fundamental part of Sonic’s world, such as his best friend Tails. It has an 83 on Metacritic.
3. Sonic Advance 2
Although he is the mascot of SEGA, this does not mean that some of his best adventures took place on a competing console, more precisely the Game Boy Advance. The elements of speed that characterize the character so much fit this console like a glove, being a total success. His Metacritic score is 83.
2. Sonic Mania
For the 25th anniversary of the character, SEGA officials decided to release this title, which celebrates the entire history of the character. We could play some classic levels of the franchise, but adapted to the most recent consoles. It certainly reminded us of the good times. It has a score of 86 on Metacritic.
1. Sonic Advance
As we said before, the Game Boy Advance was one of the periods of greatest splendor of the franchise. What seemed to be a simple title to exploit the Sonic brand ended up becoming the best title of the entire saga according to the video game experts of Metacritic, so much so that it reached the score of 87 out of 100. And of course winning the gold medal in this ranking.
And you? What is your favorite Sonic game? For us, personally, the one that was pre-installed in the Master System II memory, that is, the first Sonic. More out of nostalgia than because the game was good in itself, but hey, everyone will have their own opinion, right?
