Sonic Origins Reviews
Sonic Origins, in the sum of everything, is a very valid collection: all the games received a good treatment as they gained improvements that increase the experience and the extras of the package complement the set. It's not a perfect re-release, given the amount of small details that bother those who are already so used to these classic adventures.

Sonic Origins is a fantastic dive into the beginning of the iconic blue hedgehog that offers plenty of content for your money. Despite this, new fans may grow tired of how similar these classic games are. Longtime fans will probably welcome how much classic retro Sonic content there is and spends hours exploring all the different modes and challenges.
A compilation of the most classic Sonic games with enough additional content to encourage replayability. Although it may be a bit lame at times, it more than fulfills its purpose.

"Almost back to full speed."

The four games contained in Sonic Origins are excellent. More than 30 years later, they've aged quite well, and Sonic Origins is the best possible way to revisit them, or play them for the very first time. Playing all four games, I was taken aback by how Sonic Team was able to make each game feel distinctive. However, after all the reissues some of these games seen, long-time Sonic fans will have to decide if the collection's extras and changes are worth the price of admission. Of course, now that Sonic Origins has been released, I sincerely hope that Sega offers similar packages for other Sonic games. If the company ever decides to give the Sonic Advance games a similar treatment, I'll be first in line.
Sonic Origins is a collection of SEGA titles that should not be missing from your library.

Sonic Origins absolutely represents the best way to experience these classic games on modern platforms if you’ve never had the chance before. For people who’ve been here before, though, it’s questionable whether the new content is quite worth the premium price tag, especially with a bunch of surprising new issues.
Sonic Origins banks too much on nostalgia. The games are functional and are enjoyable as always but the glitches introduced to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles with regards to Tails are annoying. Sonic 3’s soundtrack being changed so drastically feels incredibly disappointing too.
While there are still a few bugs to iron out, Sonic Origins delivers the old-school Sonic experience in its best form yet thanks to a host of new features and quality-of-life improvements.
