[City, Country] – Excitement is building among gamers as the highly anticipated game, Sonic Superstars, is set to launch next week. Fans of the popular blue hedgehog have been eagerly awaiting its release on the Nintendo Switch. As the launch date draws closer, many are wondering what the critics have to say about the game.
While players wait for the official Nintendo Life review, various gaming publications have shared their opinions and scores on the new title. Here’s a roundup of the reviews so far:
Push Square, a renowned gaming website, gave Sonic Superstars a 6/10 rating. While they recommended it as a solo experience due to its fresh art style, great soundtrack, and multi-layered level design, they noted that the game becomes chaotic when played with friends.
IGN, another well-known gaming outlet, awarded the game a 7/10 rating. They described Sonic Superstars as an enjoyable Sonic game that introduces both interesting and ill-advised new ideas but falls short of being a super game.
VG247, a popular gaming news site, gave the game a score of 3/5. While they praised Sonic Superstars for successfully recreating the foundation of 2D Sonic and providing a delightful experience overall, they found the new elements in the game hit-or-miss.
On the other hand, Gaming Trend presented Sonic Superstars with an impressive 9/10 rating. They hailed the game as one of the best 2D platformers, full of surprises and providing plenty of room for mastery. According to them, Sonic Superstars is an absolute delight from start to finish.
However, God is a Geek disagreed with the positive reception, giving the game a 6.5/10 rating. They felt that Sonic Superstars had too many frustrating elements, such as tedious boss fights and constant mini-games, which overshadowed the enjoyable aspects. They did mention that playing the main story with a friend who loves Sonic could enhance the experience.
With such mixed reviews, players are left wondering whether Sonic Superstars will live up to their expectations. The game promises a fresh art style, great soundtrack, and multi-layered level design, but it seems to have some hit-or-miss elements that may divide the fanbase.
Sonic Superstars will be available on the Nintendo Switch next week. Will you be checking it out? Let us know in the comments.
