A return to the origins that re-presents the classic Sonic as we have never seen it before
A long epic, it is true, but not without small missteps, of course, as happens when one always tries to innovate and experiment, in the best tradition of the Japanese parent company SEGA. From the first unforgettable 2D titles to Sega Mega Drive of the grunge decade, which consist of a quadrilogy made up of exceptional games, interconnectable among other things with an innovative system of modular cartridges, and some spin-offs, Sonic discovered the three dimensions at the gates of the new millennium, with the just as amazing Sonic Adventure for the unfortunate Sega DreamCastthe last console of the Kyoto house, obscured by the too much shine of the battleship PlayStation 2 who, of course, also read i DVDbut has practically stolen the show from its historical competitors, Nintendo GameCube included. Sonic has since gone multi-platform, putting an end to, historically, the biggest one Console War ever. The franchise then evolved, experimented a lot, trying different paths and proposing atypical gameplay, even puzzles and RPGs, but, as you know, first love is definitely never forgotten. In full 2023, thanks also to the relaunch of the character, due in part to the enormous success of the two cinematographic works, Sonic Superstars offers an unpublished title that incorporates the original mechanics of the very first episodes, but which runs in the beating heart of current systems, all of them, as Sonic has accustomed us by now, i.e. PCthrough Steam ed Epic Games, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S e Nintendo Switch. The appointment is also close, since this first Announcement Trailer, even without providing an exact date, talks about the imminent Autumn 2023, so just let this torrid Summer just begun pass soon, perhaps reviewing the classics of the saga in the meantime. 
Sonic Superstars it is a title with enormous potential, which will make happy the players who have been following the saga since its golden age. Scenarios at the same time classic and modern, with new graphic effects and infinite parallax effects, more complex loops of the loop, helical, concave and convex, which play with the dimensions themselves, trampolines, treacherous dead ends, paths full of unprecedented enemies , yet with a classic feeling, grips to jump higher and higher, traps, secret areas, underwater levels, and a thousand other oddities, all immersed in delightful graphics, with sometimes three-dimensional effects that quote different chapters of the saga, like a huge fish that comes towards us by breaking a wall in the background. There is no shortage of legendary bonus sections where you can collect the infamous extra emeralds or rings, including some truly evocative first-person shooters. By registering on the official website of the game, at this LINK, it is possible to receive an exclusive skin of Amy. A title that, at first glance, looks simply amazing, and with perfect play mechanics, refined over three decades.
Sonic Superstars: Four stars race together towards the legend
Do you remember the hilarious SEGA Superstarsdeveloped in 2004 by Sonic Team for the peripheral eye toy Of PlayStation 2? Perhaps you are too young to even remember the video game camera itself, in which case we refer you to this page, which also talks about the game, to find out more. In that title, the most famous icons of the Tokyo house competed together in bizarre tests of skill. The brand new Sonic Superstar mildly takes up the concept, but applying it to a traditional and old-fashioned platformer, giving the possibility to four heroes at the same time to be able to participate in the game, each with its own unique peculiarities, suitable for different scenarios. A concept already introduced in the nineties by Sonic & Knucklesfourth title of the classic quadrilogy, especially in the combo with the previous titles, but further reiterated and brought to success by the historical competitor, or Super Mario, with the modern New Super Broswhich allowed on Nintendo Wii e Wii U to play classic gameplay with a brand new improvised multiplayer, making even the quietest level irresistible. Similarly in Sonic Superstars we have the possibility to use together, for the first time ever in the series, the four brightest stars of the blue hedgehog universe, namely Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy Rose, also in co-op mode. In what is configured as a real “new modern classic” in two dimensions, and which literally offers the best of what the classic Sonic saga has offered in thirty long years of career. The same logo of the game, designed by the graphic designers and titlists of the Tokyo house, with the four stars of different colors on the sides of the name, anticipates this concept well. In the game it is therefore necessary to form a close-knit team between the four friends, and understand how to use the brand new powers of the all too well-known Chaos Emeralds, which we have known since the days of Mega Drivewhose very fast processor Motorola 68000 has historically inspired the gameplay based on the unstoppable runs of Sonic himself. The Emeralds, this time, are capable of making us perform impossible actions, such as walking on walls, swimming, becoming ice or changing shape, and thanks to these new features it will be possible to face and overcome the many levels of the new title, strictly divided into the traditional areas , running frantically until you reach the end and defeat the enemy of all time, the increasingly evil and debauched Dr. Robotnik, for friends Eggman, and its host of wacky robots. Frankly, we can’t wait to dive into this adventure again.
