Sonic Origins is a remaster of four classic platform games featuring the super-fast blue hedgehog - Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD. It provides entertainment in the "good old style" or in a refreshed version. Set was developed and published by SEGA.
Plot
As in most games with Sonic in the lead role, our hero together with his friends, Tails and Knuckles, must stop the plans of devious Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik and prevent him from taking over the world.
Game mechanics
Our task is to pass 2D or 3D levels as quickly as possible (depending on the game) by jumping and using special abilities of the characters - in Sonic's case, it's developing progressively faster speed. Along the way we have to defeat or avoid enemies, we can also collect gold rings which unlock additional lives and hidden locations, as well as increase the final score. At the end of stages boss fights are waiting for us. Levels can often be passed in several ways, by taking different paths.
Game modes
Game offers two single-player game modes - classic, with original resolution and limited number of lives, and jubilee, with upgraded full-screen graphics and unlimited lives.

Attack of the Fanboy: 4.5 / 5 by J.R. Waugh
Sonic Origins is an essential collection not only for any franchise fan with current or last-gen gaming hardware but also for anybody who appreciates tight gameplay with a banger soundtrack. Sonic is the ultimate "Animal With an Attitude" mascot still having major games released to this day, and while the franchise has had a tarnished reputation due to sub-par releases lately, it remains plucky and pushes forward, never losing sight of its roots.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Chris White
Sonic Origins collects four great Sonic games and adds some quality of life improvements, but extra content does feel a little sparse.
Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Donovan Erskine
Sonic Origins is not only an excellent trip down memory lane for fans of the series, it’s also the perfect entry point for those looking to play them for the very first time. The games are all as beautiful as ever and control like a dream. There are also a plethora of bonus goodies that celebrate the iconic artwork and music of the platforming series. While it’s easy to get caught up in arguments about the current direction of the Sonic IP, Sonic Origins is a refreshing reminder that the original games are among the best 2D platformers ever made.
