Afteryet another wonky adventure into 3D land, Sonic the prickly-pig returns to his native perspective this autumn withSonic Superstars. It’s a side-on platforming adventure with 3D art, and four-player drop-in, drop-out local cooperative multiplayer too. Four! Do you even have that many siblings you need to hand controllers and play Tails so they can pretend they’re helping and your mum doesn’t tell you off for excluding them?

I’m not a fan of this “all-new look”. The separate 3D objects don’t fit together well, clashing and standing out in a way which weirdly reminds me ofGetting Over ItWith Bennett Foddy. Feels a shame afterSonic Maniaproved that pixel art Sonic still looks great in the modern day. I don’t think I’ve liked any of Sonic’s 3D styles, mind. Hell, I’m still sore that theygave him a makeover for the movie, the cowards.

Sonic Superstars is due to launch in autumn 2023 via Steam and the Epic Games Store. It’ll also be on the PlayStations 4 & 5, the Xboxen One & Xeries XS, and Nintendo Switch. It will cost £55 and goodness me.
