Sonic Origins Plus isn’t even out yet, and it’s already riling up fans

Sonic Origins Plus will be released on June 23, which is only a few days away. It takes the original Sonic Origins title and brings it back with a few new additions, including Amy Rose, a playable character, and finally a physical release.

There are some Sonic fans who have already managed to get their hands on a physical copy of Sonic Origins Plus, which has led to leaks online, and it seems they have quite a few doubts with the updated collection of Sonic titles.

That said, with Sonic Origins also packing twelve Game Gear titles along with a playable Amy Rose, what’s bothering fans? Well, when Sonic manages to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, he can become Super Sonic; he gets his own unique sprite when he is in this form.

That said, other classic Sonic characters, including the newly added Amy in this collection, don’t have different sprites when collecting the Chaos Emeralds; their sprites are just a different shade. Ultimately though, I think most Sonic fans are happy to finally be able to play as Amy Rose.

Another Sonic fan, however, argues that Amy’s moveset in Sonic Origins Plus is hot garbage. The tweet got a lot of attention, and some people certainly agree that his moves are mediocre and could have been better. Although, other players in the answers don’t see what the problem is, and this seems to be a recurring theme in most of the malaise caused by Sonic Origins Plus.

Sonic fans aren’t happy with the Game Gear titles that have been added, either, and I’d argue that this is the most valid qualm of the lot. This is mainly because the sound is different in the collection than in the original Game Gear titles, noticeably, and it doesn’t sound half as nice as before.

This isn’t exactly the worst thing in the world, but there’s no denying that the sound quality is very poor compared to the original Game Gear. It sounds like a false stereo effect has been added to the audio, and it’s not exactly easy on the ears.

Regardless of the complaints some Sonic fans share, Sonic Origins Plus still seems like a game worth picking up as a Sonic fan. Don’t let the qualms of online fans put you off and try Sonic Origins Plus for yourself.

Alternatively, if you can’t get over the fact that you can’t play as Sonic and Amy together, or the Game Gear sound bothers you too much, a free Sonic murder mystery released back in April and was surprisingly great. Try it instead!
