Legacy of the Void is class, each of the 3 Starcraft 2 campaigns are well presented although the story is convoluted at the best of times. Even the multiplayer is quite fun until you get sick of invisible dark templars or photon cannon rushes or widow mines in every game. God bless starcraft pros on Twitch filling that urge every time I get tempted.

Sonic reviews coming in. Pretty much unanimous praise for it. Eurogamer gave it an Essential rating. Really excited to play a good Sonic game.

I saw footage of the bonus levels which are straight up how the bonus levels were in Sonic 3 and I am totally down. If the Sonic 2 half-pipes are also in there, oh man

I played a Sonic game for the first time just last week (Sonic 1 on Genesis). It probably gets better later on in the series but my immediate reaction was, like, "I can't see where I'm going because the camera is too zoomed in and I accelerate way too quickly, this is a really bad platformer". Also those springs that are placed at the end of paths that also shoot you backwards are dumb

The first Sonic has only like 2 levels that you would ever consider fast, the rest is just fairly generic platforming.

I remember borrowing sonic 1 from a friend and being dead excited because he told me they're was a level called The Labyrinth, I had just read a kids book on myths and legends and so I was convinced I'd have to fight a minotaur at the end

It did have a way more slow levels then people like to remember, but it was more than that. The game basically switches between fast and slow every world but no one ever noticed.

S3&K was a game I played start to finish dozens of times as a kid. I even pre-planned moments where Sonic would lose his rings or whatever to make things look more dramatic since it became impossible for me to die past a certain point of repetition.

I love how horrible wounds disappear between different shots of the same scenes in Yakuza 0. If someone did a drinking game around that, the later chapters would kill all participants.

Sonic 1's levels were just brutal in the 2nd half, there is reason why most peeps says 2 and 3 were really good. 1?.. Not so much.

I remember once a maybe a decade ago I was at my aunt and uncle's place and was playing Sonic 2 with my younger cousin. He was just watching me go through the stages and even though I never owned a Genesis it's not a real great challenge to make it to the end, which I did. Well, I made it to the last boss and died a few times before my even younger cousin ran through the room and bumped into the console. Game flashed to black then booted back to the "SEGA" logo. Kinda frustrating but easy come, easy go. I'm at what I believe is the second to last stage of Shadow Tactics and I'm still loving it. It has an actual story with character interaction and development which is great (the story is so-so but that it has one at all other than "It was World War II" is nice). I don't think I'll be finished with it by the time Sonic Mania is released, but it sounds like I could beat all of Mania in the same time it would take me to beat the last two stages of Tactics.

I still think Sonic 1 is a pretty good platformer, it's just oddly slow at times for a game called Sonic. It's not Mario level but you could do so so so much worse with platformers from that era. The most bullshit thing about it is that Japan got a better version of it.
