Sonic Mania Plus Reviews
Whether you have not played Sonic Mania or are just looking to add on more time with the game, Sonic Mania Plus is definitely worth checking out. With this release, I hope that Sonic Mania 2 is possibly in our future.
After so many bad outings in the series, Sonic's legacy was beginning to turn to dust. Many mistakes have been made in trying to emulate, yet evolve the 2D adventures of yesteryear, with failed projects, such as Sonic 4. Sonic Mania Plus, however, restores the series back to the gold standard. It will be revered for decades with the community who will no doubt set this as the benchmark for any future sequel to the series.
Enhanced version of the original Sonic Mania is great. Just buy and play!

Sonic Mania was one of the best games of 2017 and Sonic Mania Plus is basically offering something more for those who are looking for more content. Encore is a solid addition, with two new playable characters, new mechanics, new special stages and challenges. The competitive four-player is also welcome. If you have not played Sonic Mania yet, the time is now.

Sonic Mania Plus is a must-have for gaming fans of all types. If you're a fan of the Genesis games, this is exactly what you've been waiting for. If you're more of a new fan, Sonic Mania Plus shows you why the series was so revered in the first place. If you already own the main title, the DLC is an excellent add-on at a reasonable price, especially for the amount of stuff you'll get.
Sonic Mania Plus gives fans an authentic experience in a new way by taking Sonic's roots and elevating its gameplay.
Sonic Mania Plus took a well-made game and made it even better, with two interesting new characters and remixed levels. The new content seems a little more geared for the superfan rather than the newcomer, which at the end of the day, is totally okay because whether you bought Mania last year or you're only just getting to it now, it is still worth checking out. It still feels very weird to say that I like playing as Ray more than playing as Sonic because it's so much fun flying around levels as a flying squirrel.
If you enjoyed the original Sonic Mania, this Plus release should be an easy sell as it provides new characters and ways to play the game.
Sonic Mania Plus makes a fantastic game even better and brings new characters for old fans to enjoy.
Sonic Mania Plus offers a number of quality of life improvements, but the Encore Mode features some questionable design decisions. Those looking for more Sonic could do far worse than this title, but don't expect the extras to live up to the lofty standards set by Mania Mode.
Not only this is a great Sonic game made even better with the new 'Plus' expansion, it also comes packaged in with a physical version that might as well be a collector's item with the efforts spent on it to make it resemble the classic Sonic games on Sega Genesis.
Sonic Mania Plus is proof that nostalgia can be done right when it comes to the gaming heroes of the past.
Sonic Mania is the Sonic game we've been waiting for years, the one we're likely to play for years. The bedtime fairy tale with a happy ending that we would like to hear told before bed. A tribute to the original capable of taking every single bit from the original cartridge and creating something capable of making us relive the same emotions of the past when the blue hedgehogs began to make the plumbers dressed in red tremble for the first time.

Simply put, even if you've never played a Sonic game, you'll still have a ton of fun within the exciting world of Sonic Mania Plus.
It seems a lie that one year has passed since that wonder of game that is Sonic Mania came out, and now Sega surprises us with a DLC and a physical edition that improves even more what is undoubtedly the best Sonic game for many years

Sonic Mania Plus makes me feel like I’ve played Sonic games all my life. I feel as though I’m being welcomed home with open arms despite me never having a strong connection to the series. Representing the very best that old-school platformers have to offer, Sonic Mania Plus is a wonderful experience for both newcomers and longtime fans.
Sonic Mania is a re-imagination of what made the original 90s classics so enjoyable. It introduces new abilities, characters, levels and many other features to make this one of the freshest takes on a Sonic game in decades.
Sonic Mania Plus is the same game from last year, but with the addition of the new story DLC that absolutely makes worth your money and time. Whether you’re buying just the DLC to upgrade, or buying new to experience it, Sonic Mania Plus is excellent in every way. It is now bigger and better by virtue of having more things to do in this insanely well made Sonic game. Sonic Mania Plus is an essential and important game in the history of Sonic the Hedgehog that you must play.
It might not be an entirely new game, but Sonic Mania Plus manages to feel just as fresh as the original Sonic Mania did a little over a year ago.
Even without any new stages being added outside of Angel Island Zone, the inclusion of Encore Mode and two new playable characters with Ray and Mighty make Sonic Mania Plus arguably the best in the series' history from both a quality and content standpoint.
