[Review] Sonic Superstars
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 17, 2023
Developer: Arzest / SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Few video game mascots are as instantly recognizable as Sonic the Hedgehog, and even fewer have had such a turbulent career. It often feels as though SEGA doesn’t quite know what it wants to do with the character, and as a result it’s difficult to know what to expect from each new title. Sonic Superstars is now the latest outing for the blue blur, and although it hearkens back to the beloved 2D Genesis games that kickstarted the franchise, there are several modern elements thrown in to shake up the gameplay, both for better and for worse.

Reptar can use fiery breath, powerful attacks, brutal chomps, and even ice skates. His strength and size are his upsides, though that’s offset by very slow speed – including slower attacks. A lot of Reptar’s moves take up some of his flame meter including his grounded and aerial upcharge attacks plus some of his specials, though it fills up with other attacks.
