Sonic Origins Plus

"Sonic Origins Plus incorporates new content, both in the form of a new character and in the form of nostalgia through the 12 Game Gear titles of the blue hedgehog. Simple, but very effective content."

"Sonic Origins Plus really fills out and completes this package, adding much more variety to the catalogue and giving you some clever, different ways to play titles you already know and love. Most of the titles haven’t aged that well …"

"The inclusion of Amy Rose in Sonic Origins Plus is most welcome, but everything else in this DLC is roughshod. The poor port job of the Game Gear titles makes them borderline unplayable, and the package is a bit light …"

"Longtime Sonic fans should scoop up the physical edition of Sonic Origins Plus if they missed out last year, but the new content may not be worth a paid upgrade for existing owners."

"Sonic Origins Plus is a complete and thrilling collection of Sonic&s;s heyday, at least if you stick with the core four remastered games. Because the addition of a couple of playable characters and 12 inconsequential Game Gear games with the …"

"Is it worth the purchase? Well if you don&s;t have any Sonic games and either want to see what it&s;s all about, or relive past glories… then certainly grab a copy. If you bought last years Sonic Origins then just …"

"Sonic Origins Plus still can&s;t be considered the most comprehensive collection of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles. From a completionist&s;s standpoint, it would&s;ve been nice to have Sonic 3D Blast, and the Genesis version of Sonic Spinball and Dr. …"

"Seeing other aspects fall short of even the versions available via Sega Ages just really disappoint me, and while I don’t think a kid jumping into the Sonic series for the first time via this set will come away disliking …"

"While some games can be hit or miss, Sonic Origins Plus offers a time machine to go back and play classic Game Gear games. Whether you are revisiting them or discovering them for the first time, this collection offers a …"

"Although it still drags some shortcomings, it is a very complete compilation with some irresistible incentives for fans of Sonic in particular or platforms in general."

"While Sonic Origins Plus&s; additions feel like they should have been in the base game, Amy is a delight to play as. She&s;ll have you playing these four excellent games in new ways, despite some odd design decisions. Unfortunately, the …"

"Between all these additions, for me Sonic Origins Plus was a disappointment full of missed opportunities. It&s;s a package packed with content that should have been in the collection since its launch in 2022, but that is only being added …"

"Sonic Origins Plus is the best way to play 16-bit Sonic video games. Skill challenges, modes specifically designed for speedrunners, and the ability to play each level with all the series&s; main characters make this collection a must-have for Sonic …"

"The re-edition of the collection that last year made the joy of all the nostalgic of Sonic replenishes its offer with a handful of titles of fluctuating quality: devoid of those small modernization processes that had characterized the first chapters …"

"The low point of the compilation is that it feels like a disappointment for those who bought Sonic Origins, since this addition, could well have been included in the first part or be a free DLC for players who were …"

"As a complete package Sonic Origins Plus is a decent collection for series fans and newcomers alike. But as a DLC its merely a collection of curios you can probably do without."

"Sonic and friends will always have a special place in our hearts for all those great memories, and that&s;s probably why SEGA is sacrificing quality and using Sonic&s;s name to generate money."

"Sonic Origins Plus, as a basic package, looks even more complete than last year, and a beautiful physical version is also released."

"Sonic Origins Plus is an okay, but ultimately superfluous expansion to an already good collection. The addition of Amy is a net positive and a nice primer ahead of her playable appearance in the upcoming Sonic Superstars. Knuckles finally becoming …"

"Sonic Origins Plus is an interesting package in theory, but it doesn&s;t add enough relevant content. Amy is definitely cool to be playable, but her moves are pretty simple. And Game Gear games are a good way to remember the …"

"Such is the wrinkle here. My final score applies to the expansion in particular. Taken as a complete product, my previous review (right here) is a more accurate assessment. But man oh man, that expansion. If you’ve already got the …"

"While the Game Gear games in Sonic Origins Plus don’t look, sound, or play great, the problem comes down to these games not being that good originally — not that they&s;re bad ports. Buy Sonic Origins Plus for the Genesis …"

"Sonic Origins Plus contains some cracking Sonic games, but the collection is somewhat lacking and the added content is average at best."

"Possibly Sega&s;s definitive hedgehog collection (but probably not the last), Sonic Origins Plus managed to go a little further than the base title. Major additions include 12 Game Gear games and the availability of more playable characters. The point is …"

"I might not be much of a Sonic fan, but I know that if Square Enix had done the equivalent of this to that Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, I would have blown my top. I did give the lazy …"

"In keeping with tradition, Sonic Origins Plus is a bit of a mixed bag. The new playable characters, Game Gear games, and other content feel just barely worth the upgrade fee, but there&s;s no escaping the sense that Sega could&s;ve …"

"The addition of 12 underplayed Game Gear Sonic titles and a playable Amy Rose are more than welcome in this beefed up version of Sonic Origins."

"Despite its flaws, Sonic Origins Plus is a much more polished and content-rich package than the original release, earning it an extra star in the rating. However, if you already own Origins, whether the ability to play as Amy, the …"

"Even with my complaints, there’s no denying that what is present in Sonic Origins Plus is nonetheless worth the time of fans. These four Genesis platformers remain some of the best in the genre after all this time and have …"

"Your opinion on Sonic Origins Plus is going to boil down to whether you&s;re willing to spend money on games so old that your fridge could probably play them. If you&s;re a huge Sonic fan, then these are worth the …"

"It allows players to experience each game in its purest form, or play them under unique conditions providing whole new challenges. It somehow reinvents the timeless classics without compromising what made them huge sellers in the first place."

"Sonic Origins Plus is the definitive way to play the classic Sonic games, and it&s;s great to have a new way to have the Game Gear titles, but there is no much relevant improvement between this one and Sonic Origins."

"Sonic Origins Plus may not be essential for more casual Sonic fans, but those who want to experience the Game Gear titles and play as Amy Rose are in for an all-around great time. If you want to take on …"

"If you hadn’t previously been enticed by the quartet of Genesis classics, you are unlikely to be swayed now. In a vacuum, this is fun and gratifying DLC for a certain breed of loyal hedgehog fan, whereas the remainder of …"

"Sonic Origins Plus is inching toward being a definitive Sonic the Hedgehog anthology of classic games, some of which are remastered. The inclusion of Amy and the Game Gear titles are arguably two steps forward, but the quality of those …"
