Sonic Superstars is out next week and in case you missed it, we’re still waiting for a Nintendo Switch review code.
While we await Nintendo Life’s review, we’ve put together this roundup with several takeaways. Our colleagues at Push Square have already given their verdict, so let’s start there and follow some other opinions.
Slide the box 6/10
“We can definitely recommend it as a standalone experience, as the new art style, massively gorgeous soundtrack and layered level design have a lot to offer. However, when you add a friend or two, things quickly get chaotic.”
Eigen 7/10
“Sonic Superstars has a mix of interesting and unpleasant new ideas, which makes it a fun Sonic game, but not a super game.”
VG247 3/5
“Sonic Superstar succeeds in its core mission. It recreates the premise of a 2D Sonic game – some of the best platformers of all time, well. Unfortunately, the new material layered on top is more luck.”
Gaming-Trend 9/10
“Sonic Superstar is one of the best 2D platformers out there. It constantly has surprises in store and still offers plenty of room for mastery. The game is fun from start to finish and beyond.”
God Possessed 6.5/10
“Sonic Superstars has a lot of frustrating elements to deal with. Navigating the actual levels is often a lot of fun, but dealing with annoying boss fights and constant mini-games quickly becomes boring. If you have a friend who loves Sonic, you’ll probably have a great time playing the original story together.”
