Sonic Utopia by The Great Lange

 From some huge Sonic fans comes a fantastic Sonic game!

Now that's rolling around at the speed of sound!

Who made it?: This game was made by a team consisting of four members: The Great Lange,  Murasaki Fox, Tpot, and PicsAndPixels

Story: This is simply a demo so there isn't a story. It's basically a sandbox game set in Green Hill Zone.

Presentation: This game nails the look of the classic Sonic games that many of us grew up with. Sonic, the environment, the enemies and the objects all look gorgeous. It also has some really nice songs in it. The main song in particular, Panic In Paradise, is one of the best songs I've heard in any game I've played.

How to play: This game uses both the keyboard and mouse to play. For the keyboard WASD moves Sonic, space bar jumps, does homing attacks when near enemies and springs and does spin dashes when crouched and enter pauses the game. For the mouse: Moving the mouse moves the camera, left click spins and rolls when moving, right click charges a dash and middle click toggles mouse aim.

Gameplay: For a demo it does a good job of bringing the classic Sonic gameplay to 3D. It feels great controlling Sonic as you roll down hills, run around loops, destroy Badnicks, bounce on springs and just run around really fast and the physics are much better here than in certain official Sonic games (looking at you 06 and boom!). Due to it's size it can be kinda laggy on older devices and you can't press escape to exit out of the game (which isn't a problem when you're on a window, but is one if you're playing it full screen) but other than that it's a really fun and addicting game.

Final Verdict: If you're as big a Sonic fan as I am I highly recommend downloading this game. It won't help you burn all the calories you'd consume from your Thanksgiving Dinner (I had to make this Thanksgivingy somehow), but it does make a good game to have in case your internet goes out.
