@che5hire @Tsuki It's actually quite decent, way better Sonic 4 part 2, but it's not amazing

The 30$ (CAD) discount it got during Black Friday is the price it should've been to begin with

Let's compare it with Mario Wonder. Mario Wonder actually managed to modernize the weird NSBM worldmap and formula that was just plain unsatisfying before. Basically, the weird "It's the retro format but we're not actually sticking to it completely" is where Sonic Superstar is stuck at. It's a decent enough retro Sonic, but they should have just went ahead and went full Retro with sprites, in presentation and no level select being always there (but it doesn't do anything special with it???)
