the world is built pretty nicely, the characters are charming and overall this game is pretty fun, even if its just a walking simulator combined with a rhythm game and a visual novel. 10/10 from me

I would say more but im too lazy

10/10 banger game

this game sucks

10/10

For a game I randomly found on the Google Play store once, this is honestly a really fun platformer.
To start off, you're a cat, which already gets an A+ from me.
Besides that, the levels are simple enough to understand, are highly speedrun-able and fun to play through. The minimalist art style and music is also really charming.

And for the story...
While it may be simple and may not be that clear or impressive at first, to not spoil much, it sort of hits you like a train.

All and all, 10/10, would buy it for every one of my friends, twice.

In it's current state, Origins is horrible. Here's why:

First off, the quality. It isn't upscaled in something like Nearest Neighbour (used to upscale pixel art properly) and the games just look blurry. Not the biggest deal, but for claiming that these are in "high resolution" is a straight up lie.

The physics are somehow worse than on the mobile ports (especially the dropdash). I'm not saying the physics in the mobile versions are bad, they're good. But they somehow ruined them while copy pasting them into this collection.

The arrow keys in the default and custom controls are apparently used for up, down, left and right, however they only work in the menus (not in-game), and aren't rebindable either.

The Sonic 3K Carnival Night, Icecap, Launch Base and the Super Sonic music. I have nothing else to say besides, just use the original prototype music instead of having a tie-in with Sonic 4: Episode III, holy hell.

Now for the thing that everyone has been complaining about: Denuvo DRM. It really slows down the speed the game, ironic for a Sonic game. And it also affects Laptop players greatly due to the DRM destroying SSDs. Just use Steam DRM like any normal company.

Technical issues:
- The game uses your integrated graphics card, something a game shouldn't do at all. It slows the game down. Again, ironic for a Sonic game.
- The collection uses 2 game engines. Using both the Hedgehog Engine (Used in games like Generations and Unleashed, here used for the menus and 3D models) and Retro engine (Used for the mobile remakes and Mania, here used for S1, 2, CD and 3K) is a really bad idea, and is even useless, considering that Retro engine CAN render 3D models already, and the menu causes lag. I think this is also why the game is 7 GB in size. Just use a Data.rsdk file again.

Minor issues:
- There's audio delay
- There's button delay
- The default button controls are terrible (You literally got them right in Mania, how the hell do you mess up 5 years later?)
- The options menu is in the museum, which is a stupid decision
- The game starts in fullscreen (Again, you got this right in Mania by starting it in windowed)

Thanks Sonic Team.

TLDR; A bunch of minor issues are in the game, but when added up they ruin the game experience. Play S1 Forever, S2 Absolute, SCD Restored and S3 AIR until they fix already good ports that they somehow ruined. Still sucks btw.

Best classic Sonic game in the modern era.

Good game, terrible devs. They started selling NFTs off of this game. I recommend you refund it if you bought it. If you didn't, just pirate it, should be a better solution than paying the devs. I also recommend you screenshot and print their terrible NFTs and burn them :troll:
