    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant and beautifully rendered visuals, effectively capturing the essence of the Sonic franchise while incorporating modern 3D enhancements.

    • “One comment about the Switch - I've been gaming a lot more in 4K on my PC and man, the Switch's graphics are showing their age.”
    • “Made for the classic Sonic fans with updated graphics, it’s probably made more for nostalgic oldies while still fun for the young ones of this generation.”
    • “I played Sonic Mania before this and there are a lot of differences like graphics, chaos emerald powers, and the levels sometimes feel like a platformer, but the average gamer would still appreciate this game.”
  • gameplay6 mentions

    The gameplay in Sonic Superstars is a standout feature, offering a nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic '90s Sonic games, enhanced by sharp HD graphics. Players can choose from five characters, each with unique abilities, adding depth and variety to the gameplay. The co-op mode is particularly enjoyable, making it a fun experience for those playing with friends.

    • “But it's not just about the visuals - the gameplay is where Sonic Superstars truly shines.”
    • “From Sonic and Tails to Knuckles and Amy, each character brings their own unique abilities and playstyles to the table, adding depth and variety to the gameplay experience.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, looks great on the OLED, and the co-op is a lot of fun if you have someone to play with.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks innovation, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
    • “The controls are unresponsive at times, leading to frustrating moments that detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The level design is uninspired, with many areas feeling like a chore to navigate rather than an enjoyable challenge.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players find it mediocre and not as memorable as previous titles, others appreciate the retro-style synth tracks that enhance the overall immersion. Although there are only a limited number of levels, the catchy tunes contribute positively to the gaming experience, particularly for LEGO fans.

    • “The music isn't as bad as some say, and while not as memorable as the old games, the retro style synth music does help give this a retro immersion, but with modern 3D graphics.”
    • “The graphics are amazing and the music is catchy.”
    • “The music is mediocre, and there's only about 14 levels or so, so the game can be finished pretty quickly.”
  • stability4 mentions

    The game experiences notable stability issues, including frequent glitches, particularly towards the end, which may require players to replay sections. Additionally, users report slow loading times and occasional freezes, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I beat the game, but had to play the end a few times because of glitches.”
    • “The game isn't even online, but it glitches a few times before the final boss.”
    • “First off, it's super slow... it takes forever to load, and freezes occasionally.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the excessive health of later bosses and the lack of protective features like extra hit points for rings. This can make encounters feel overly challenging, especially for younger gamers, leading to a frustrating experience that some feel should have been better integrated into separate stages.

    • “Some of the later bosses, including unlockable ones, are a bit too tedious, taking a long time to play and having too much HP, which may be too challenging, especially for younger gamers.”
    • “Even the unlockable Super Sonic boss is surprisingly hard compared to old games, and farming for rings during it is a chore.”
    • “Some bosses should have been their own separate stage, honestly.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    Players appreciate the inclusion of chaos emeralds, which enhance the replayability of previous levels by encouraging exploration and mastery of the game's mechanics.

    • “The Chaos Emeralds are really cool and add significant replay value to previous levels.”
    • “Each playthrough offers new challenges and surprises, making me want to dive back in.”
    • “The variety of character choices and paths keeps the game fresh and exciting every time I play.”
