![]() It sadly still isn’t perfect, and definitely not the best versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic CD available today unless you only play on console. If you already own Sonic Origins, the $9.99 DLC pack is fine for what it adds, but this was the opportunity for Sega to completely fix Sonic Origins and sort out any issues. Barring that, I found no way to adjust the visuals or do anything else. Sega did add the ability to save and load your save during these games though. I feel like the descriptions for the Game Gear games need to be updated to fix some errors as well. The games with two player support even have those versions listed separately for some reason. The Game Gear games also have some audio issues and no options to adjust the display or scaling. I love most of these games a lot, and even enjoyed experiencing many of the Game Gear games for the first time as a curiosity, but this collection should’ve been better and more polished. If you don’t have Sonic Origins in any form, this collection is definitely the version to get for its value, but it feels like a missed opportunity in its current state. This Digital Foundry video (timestamped) highlights the issue. If they didn’t bother you with Sonic Origins’ base release, you don’t need to worry about this, but I’m disappointed to see it not addressed. Swapping between Sonic Mania and Sonic Origins Plus on PS5 really highlights how much proper scaling would’ve helped the visuals. The scaling is still poor, and these games deserve better on the big screen. Sega PR confirmed to me that the version I’ve been playing, which is 2.00, will be the launch version for Sonic Origins Plus. That was my main complaint with Sonic Origins, and while it should’ve been addressed soon after launch, I assumed it would be sorted for the Plus release. Details for the Sonic Origins base game DLC are here.īefore getting into the new Plus content, I’m very disappointed that the scaling has not been fixed for the games in this collection. If you already own the DLC for the base Sonic Origins release, this upgrade will not have any additional discount. This pack includes the 12 Game Gear titles, Classic Amy as a playable character (Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, and Sonic CD), Knuckles as a Playable Character (Sonic CD), and all prior Sonic Origins DLC. If you already own Sonic Origins, the Sonic Origins Plus – Expansion Pack is sold separately for $9.99 or regional equivalent. Having already owned and played Sonic Origins on both Steam and Switch, I’ve also been interested in seeing how the PS5 version plays on the big screen and whether it uses any of the console’s features. Sonic Origins Plus is available in a few ways at launch. In this review, I’m going to cover the new content, the state of the game, and which version you should buy if you’re new not just to Sonic Origins, but Sonic in general. Thanks to a Sonic Origins Plus PS5 review code provided by Sega earlier this month, I’ve been checking out the base game on PS5 and also going through the new content to see if the upgrade is worth it for existing owners. I was hoping Sonic Origins would get the Plus treatment just so the major issues could potentially be fixed while adding extras for fans and newcomers. ![]() ![]() If you’ve not played the base release, read my reviews of the Switch version here and PC version here. Sonic Origins Plus, an enhanced version of Sonic Origins, is out this week for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via both the Epic Games Store and Steam.
