Knuckles is now playable in Sonic CD as well, which really should have been the case originally, but I digress. However, I do feel like Sonic Origins Plus is what this game should have been from the beginning.Īvailable as a $10 DLC upgrade, the Plus pack adds two main things: a set of Game Gear games, and Amy “Rosy the Rascal” Rose being playable in all four Genesis games. Apparently my opinion is not the one the majority of the Sonic community holds, but I’m happy to revisit some of my favorite games recreated for the modern era. In my review, I loved additions like animated cutscenes and the extras like mission mode while still feeling like it lacked certain features such as rewind, and I lamented the removal of Michal Jackson’s compositions. Sonic Origins may not be the best collection out there or even the optimal versions of the games it contained, but it’s still a great way to re-experience Sonic’s Genesis classics.
