Sonic Mania
The term "what's old is new again" could easily be attached to 2017, and Sonic Mania was probably
the best example of it. After years of terrible 3D Sonic games, Sega let this little pet project, created
by a very small team, become reality.
For years gamers have been saying that the 2D was the only way Sonic could really work. With the
release of Sonic Mania, those voices seemed to have been proved right! Everything people loved
about the 2D series is here and stronger than ever.
Soinc is faster than ever, has more charm than ever, and features some of the best platforming
gameplay that 2D can afford. A core 3D Soinc title also released this year, so it says a lot that when
this little passion project makes our list and that one doesn't.
