Next week, the highly anticipated game Sonic Superstars will be launching on the Nintendo Switch. As gamers eagerly await the release, various publications have shared their opinions and scores on the game. Push Square gave it a 6/10 rating, stating that it is enjoyable as a solo experience but becomes chaotic when playing with friends. IGN rated it 7/10, mentioning that while it is an enjoyable Sonic game, it falls short of being a standout title. VG247 gave it a 3/5 rating, praising its faithful recreation of 2D Sonic gameplay but criticizing the hit-or-miss new elements. On the other hand, Gaming Trend awarded it a high score of 9/10, praising its delightful 2D platforming and constant surprises. Finally, God is a Geek rated it 6.5/10, highlighting its fun stages but noting frustration with boss fights and mini games.
Sonic Superstars has received mixed reviews from critics. While it has its strengths, such as its art style, soundtrack, and level design, the game’s multiplayer experience seems to fall short according to Push Square. IGN acknowledges that the game is enjoyable but lacks the “super” factor that would make it exceptional. VG247 praises its faithful recreation of the beloved 2D Sonic gameplay but criticizes the new elements that don’t always hit the mark. On the other hand, Gaming Trend highly recommends Sonic Superstars for its stellar 2D platforming and constant surprises. God is a Geek, however, found the game to have frustrating elements, particularly in boss fights and mini games.
With a range of opinions and scores, it seems that Sonic Superstars offers an enjoyable experience for solo players who appreciate the classic Sonic formula. However, it may not fully live up to the “superstar” status that some fans hoped for. Nevertheless, Sonic fans and Switch owners can look forward to trying out the game for themselves and forming their own opinions when it launches next week.
