A fun throwback to Sonic's heyday. Developed by Evening Star, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, Sonic Mania has a lot of talented staff working on it, some with over a decade of experience with ROM hacking and fan games. Their talent shows in how great the level design is and how fun Sonic is to control! On top of that, these developers are hardcore fans, and there's tons of references, easter eggs, and other callbacks to the series as a whole sprinkled throughout. The excellent music by Tee Lopes is the cherry on top to make this one of the best platformers out on the market right now. I highly recommend Sonic Mania!
