Founder and Editor-in-Chief at Thumb Wars - as likely to be seen playing the latest action-adventure game as I am to be watching Chelsea, reading the latest Marvel comic or getting tattooed. If you like Chris Nolan or Ari Aster films, let's talk.

Sonic Superstars is fun, there is no denying that. But for every part that relies on the nostalgia of the original games, there are modes or mechanics implemented that seem to forget we’re in the modern day. Give us more of a fleshed-out Battle Mode. Online co-op. A variety of end-of-level bosses. Either way, even with the drawbacks, this is closer to Sonic than the attempted deviation that was Sonic Frontiers. A little more polish, content, and depth would have made this one of the better modern Sonic games, but we got a reminder of how great the franchise used to and perhaps could be again.
