Some nitpicks aside, this is the definitive way to play Sonic 1, 2 and CD!

For 3 and Knuckles, I'd still recommend A.I.R due to it having more QoL improvements and customization but overall, this is a stellar compilation with some beautiful 2D animated cutscenes to boot.
My complaints mostly stem from the slightly blurry looking visuals and generally wishing there were more content included, i.e. Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic Spinball, 3D Blast and the 8-bit games.

I feel as though the expensive price tag is definitely questionable and would say to wait for a price drop if you're unsure, but the game does have plenty of additional side content worth playing. In the end, you're receiving 4, technically 5 great games for a moderately expensive price tag and whether or not its worth said price is up to your interpretation.

We live in an era where graphics in games hardly impress anymore. Game companies will create large, expansive and graphically-rich tech demos for the latest console and for many people it just does nothing for them.
I genuinely believe that Virtual Reality titles are the way forward and Half-Life: Alyx convinced me that this medium is the next major step in innovation, story-telling and especially immersion.
Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played, especially as someone who has been a fan of this franchise for almost a decade. I'd recommend that anyone buy a VR headset for this game alone, it's that amazing.
