The best April Fool's thing ever done.

Seriously, for something randomly released out of nowhere for free like this, it's really awesome. I had a great time playing through it.

A rhythm-platformer hybrid game is an awesome concept, and it comes together really well in this game. Very addictive gameplay with catchy music, a great interface, and lots of charm.

Awesome retro goodness with amazing visuals! This game is everything that I wanted it to be.

This game tickles my pickle.

Best dating sim ever made.

It's like you're watching an old cartoon, but you are in fact actually playing it.

It's better than Bubsy 3D.

Sonic Mania is great! It's a game that everyone who enjoys side-scrolling platforming needs to play, especially anyone who is or ever was a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. Top-notch vibrant sprite animation, great level design, and one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard, all come together to make this an amazing Sonic game for all fans, both new and old.

Killer Instinct is a very solid fighting game with a lot of great characters and a combo system that feels very satisfying when delivering a series of hits to your opponents. Catchy music also helps make this an awesome fighting experience. Definitely recommended.

Sonic Generations is, without a doubt, the best Sonic game in years. The gameplay is great for both classic and modern Sonic, and the level design is some of the best I've seen since the 16-bit days. Classic Sonic plays pretty closely to the Genesis classics, with spindash and everything. Modern Sonic plays like an improved, refined version of the daytime gameplay from Sonic Unleashed, fortunately with more platforming and less boosting. The only glaring flaw that I can find in this game is that it's pretty short. The replay value is at least pretty high though; there are 90 additional missions to complete, and the levels are so fun that you'll want to play through them over and over again. Sonic Generations is awesome!
