Sonic the Hedgehog is a difficult game, yet seriously engaging to play. The soundtrack and visuals are great.
However, I’m at odds with the promise of Sonic, the game is promoted as one you play with incredible speed which is true for Green Hill Zone and Star Light Zone, but then Marble and Labyrinth are very slow and meticulous platforming.
The ring system is cool, but I feel punished for making an ambitious attempt of collecting all of the Chaos Emeralds. It feels attainable, but I’d prefer to move on to Sonic 2 and Mania.
