Thirty years later, Sonic the Hedgehog is an iconic character whose games have sold millions of copies becoming one of the bestselling video game franchises in history. Nintendo was the main referent in the world of video games with the Super Mario series, but Sega needed a game that would make the Sega Genesis console popular among the players. When SEGA released Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991, the company aimed to compete against a titan. This time it's a special occasion, as one of the most popular characters in the world of video games celebrates its 30th anniversary. ![]() Īlso, if you’d like to join the Phenixx Gaming team, check out our recruitment article for details on working with us.The weekend is almost here and a new couple of free games are available on Epic Games Store again for the next few days. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Because if no one else is going to make a Portal -wannabe without physics puzzles, you might as well do it when you are 15, huh Dan Smith? I’m not going to be happy next week, let’s just say that. From the 1st we’ll be dipping back into the trough of first-person walking sims masquerading as puzzle games: It is The Spectrum Retreat. If you’re going to do an arcade rubber band racer, you better be Burnout 3: Takedown, or you can get out of my house!Īll this week, you can pick up Sonic Mania (lacking the Encore DLC) and Horizon Chase Turbo on the Epic Games Store, until the morning of the 1st of July. I have more nostalgia for a good game than the irrelevant tripe we’ve moved on from with mediocre couch co-op arcade racers. From the word go, it is kind of unfair to put this up against something like Sonic Mania. Set up to be a classic arcade racer, it takes inspiration from when we were barely learning how to make two cars go at different speeds in video games. However, this week it is a double-bill of games on the store, which means I need to talk about some PC port of a mobile phone game that no one cares about called Horizon Chase Turbo. Everyone should be playing it right now Including you! ![]() The addition of Mighty and Ray, two of the most obscure characters in Sonic’s 30-year run, just makes it the ultimate Sonic game in my point of view. I have the reversible cover (always buy physical, kids) switched to the Mega Drive side, and the biggest smile on my face. I say this as someone with the Sonic Mania Plus art book on his desk right now. You can’t ask for more than that in these hard times. Sonic Mania is a proper Sonic game in every way possible: 2D, Side-scrolling, and about momentum. I’ve never seen, felt, or heard a level as well made as Chemical Plant, the perfect trifecta of design in a game. As an official fan-made game, it is what would happen if you could remake the Mega Drive (or Genesis if you’re of a Phil Collins disposition) and somehow make them better. By far, Sonic Mania Plus is one of the best (if not the best) Sonic games we’ve ever had and are likely ever to have. I don’t care if you think China is injecting 5G into you via Epic Games Store, vaccines, or other stupidity that I simply don’t understand, you need to play Sonic Mania. Thursday, Microsoft had announced the Cyberpunk 2077 returns policy ends soon, and Space Jam: A New Legacy is getting a free-to-play brawler, soon. Wednesday, this year’s best Sonic game was released, and it is Minecraft, while Alexx spoke about Gaymers and their exes (I believe they live in Texas), or more precisely, LGBTQ+ charities. Tuesday, Taylor spoke of Doug Bowser’s comments on the new Switch rumors, and I finally got to writing the news of ( Portal designer) Kim Swift’s latest move to Microsoft. ![]() Monday, David wrote about the latest WoW patch.
