What started as a Lego Ideas submission has turned into an entire collection, and next month, Knuckles and Rouge will join that collection.

During the early 90s when SEGA was struggling to establish itself as a formidable competitor to Nintendo, Sonic arrived and gave the company the mascot (and the hit game) it needed to convince customers to buy the Genesis/Mega Drive console. Inconsistent release quality, however, has led to mixed reception over the years.
Even in the worst stretches of as a franchise, there have always been flashes of inspiration. Over the several decades that the blue speedster has been around, he's racked up a number of games that can be considered truly great. Any of the better titles excel in ways that can't be found anywhere else, and the best of the best stand among the titans of the platforming genre.

remains a divisive game in the franchise, mostly thanks to the gap between its highs and its lows. When Sonic gets to go fast, there are some beautiful levels and exciting gameplay, but the werewolf sections tend to be a slog. At the end of the day, this compromise is still preferable to the mediocrity of some series entries, and its best parts deserve a mention as some of the best that 3D has to offer.

As a more ambitious title than most 3D games, takes on an open-world environment littered with platforming opportunities and enemies. Despite a mixed critical reception, the game was generally a hit with fans, and it's easy to find avenues for fun when boosting around wide open plains. isn't without its flaws, but it does make for a refreshing change of pace, especially compared to games like that retread familiar territory while failing to live up to their predecessors.

The mid-2000s was a rough period for Sonic. In 2001, the Dreamcast ceased production, thus ending Sega's time as a console maker. On top of that, Sonic was seeing a string of lackluster titles like and the infamously bad of '06.
Fortunately, Sonic games performed well on handheld devices. The release of featured strong level design and a constant focus on moving forward.

Sonic Dream Team Review
Hot on the heels of a new full-sized Sonic game in Sonic Superstars, the Apple Arcade exclusive Sonic Dream Team might not look like it has much to offer at first. It only has a dozen levels, and all you get control-wise are a D-pad and two buttons. For some, the fact that it’s only available on Apple devices (at least for the time being) is a non-starter all its own. But despite all that, Sonic Dream Team more than manages to justify its existence – in fact, its superb level design and bite-sized missions make it one of the most fun, creative, and enjoyable 3D platformers I’ve played in a long time.
