Come on at least include Generations to give something other than Mania a chance 😂
The Sonic series has been so poor since the 360 generation that I stopped playing them.
I have heard great things about Sonic Mania, however, so I may give that a try.
What no Sonic 06???
@KelticDevil Its good, and I certainly enjoyed my time with but its basically an HD ROM hack, whenever I get that "must play a Sonic 1/2/3" Itch, regardless of which I actually feeling nostalgic for I can plow through a few Mania levels and the urge is done.
Sonic Mania is not as good as the Mega Drive games because of the level design and music of the new stages so I voted Team Sonic Racing, an unappreciated gem.
Mania was decent, Generations would probably be the most "modern" one I'd say is actually good, but I've come to the realization that Sonic has never really been all that great as a series overall. The racing games are fun enough but definitely not anywhere close to MK of course.
Team Sonic Racing was great but not a patch on Sonic and All-stars Transformed. Sonic Forces was awful. Sonic Mania was amazing and beautiful but Sonic Generations and Sonic Colours would be fantastic additions to this list.
@redd214 Sonic 1, 2, 3 and CD are AMAZING games.
@__jamiie glad you find them enjoyable
@redd214 Don't you?
@__jamiie only played 2 and 3, not games I would take the time to play through again. Despite them not being my cup of tea the fact that the franchise is still around is a remarkable accomplishment itself!!
Of the games from the past decade, my favorites are to Mania, All Stars Transformed and Generations.
To be honest I though Mania would do far better in this poll than it did. I can only imagine a couple of sympathy vote made their way into the poll
I’ve only tried mania and didn’t think it was anything special
I voted Team Sonic Racing. It’s not without it’s flaws, but still a very fun kart racer
@KelticDevil
Sonic Mania is cool, but if you haven't played it, consider getting Generations. The best 'modern' Sonic by far and it's backwards compatible.
Who's voting for Sonic Forces?! Come on, show yourselves so we can get you the help you so desperately need.
I played Sonin Mania and i got bored with it and put it down maybe i'll come back to it someday, Haven't played the other two yet.. I own Sonic Forces on switch just haven't gotten around to playing it yet..
I voted Team Sonic Racing as that is a solid kart racer with a good single player mode as well. I do also love Sonic Mania and even Sonic Forces is a solid 6/10 in my book. Generations is the best modern sonic but that wasn't an option. The Wii Sonic and the Secret Rings is also a very good "modern" sonic too.
@KelticDevil if you’ve played and enjoyed any of the Mega Drive Sonic games you’ll be right at home with Sonic Mania. It’s good on the Xbox but I play it mostly on the Switch. Failing that Sonic Generations is my favourite of the more modern games. Can’t really comment on Team Sonic Racing as I haven’t tried it yet, but I wasn’t impressed with Sonic Forces.
Definitely Sonic Mania for me! Team Sonic Racing didn't hold my attention long.
I could never get into the sonic games, even the old ones, no idea why. Maybe cause I'm used to the jumping precision of Mario as too the all over the place and high speed action of sonic. Call me a Nintendo fan whatever. Also I'm a snail when it comes to completing any game at all, so that doesn't help.
Really enjoyed Mania. Of the semi-modern ones I enjoyed Colors and would happily buy an HD remaster of that.
Sonic Team Racing for me, it's not up to the quality of Mario Kart but I still really enjoyed it... I have since kept coming back after my first play through so it certainly gets my vote.
And I came here to vote for Colors. Feels bad.
