![]() After all, some of the games are tough or underexplained in-game. You can access them at pretty much anytime, and when you’re playing them, you can even create save states as you play in case you want to cheese your way to victory a little bit. Sega also packed a full library of Sonic-related Game Gear games into the package. Game Gear games without battery drainĪmy and the other adjustments to the core games aren’t the only new things in Sonic Origins Plus. Being able to play all four characters in different compositions across all four games in Sonic Origins Plus makes for a good time if you didn’t mind how the original package was playing already. Moreover, they made it so you can also play Knuckles in Sonic CD, and they even rearranged the stages just a bit to fit Knuckles’ ability to glide through the air and climb walls. In Sonic 2 for instance, you can now play Sonic, Tails, Sonic and Tails, Knuckles, Amy solo, or Amy with Tails. It’s also neat that with Amy included, you can use different combinations in the games. She gets some other neat abilities too depending on the game and while she’s not enormously different, she does enough to stand out and be fun. It’s good for mashing enemies into paste while moving forward rapidly. Where Sonic can spin dash in the air off of a jump to do his Drop Dash, the same action with Amy will make her spin in the air with her Pico Pico Hammer, and if you hold the button when she lands, she’ll sprint forward, swinging the hammer in an arc. It’s more than just a palette swap, Amy has her own unique bit of moves and abilities she can use to traverse stages. The core addition to Sonic Origins Plus is that you can play as Amy Rose in any of the main games: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. If you had issues with the base package, I don’t think Sonic Origins Plus will move the needle for you, but otherwise it’s mostly more of a good thing. The Sonic Origins Plus DLC aims to bring even more fun to the pack, making Amy Rose playable across all the core games, adding 12 Game Gear games, and implementing even more improvements. Nonetheless, Sonic Origins still remains playable and it’s still a decent collection of Sega nostalgia. The game is a decent enough collection of classic Sonic games, but there’s been controversy about all sorts of aspects of the game, including paywalling certain features, dispute about the games’ physics and character movesets, and what’s included for the cost. I think it’s safe to say the Sonic faithful is deeply divided on Sonic Origins.
