"Sonic Generations" was originally released the week before "Skyrim" and a month after "Dark Souls." It takes a hybrid approach, with equal levels of traditional side-scrolling platformer and high-speed third-person roller coaster.

Anyway, it's currently only $1 on Steam (£0.75 / AUD$1.20), so if you've ever wanted to try it, now is the time. The promotion is for the Sonic Generations Collection, which includes the Casino Night DLC, a casino-themed DLC reminiscent of Sonic 2. We especially recommend "Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed," which is currently 75% off. The recent 16-bit style Sonic Mania is also 66% off. Other than that, I don't know if there are any other good Sonic games. I'm sure there aren't.
