PLAY MUSHROOM HILL ZONE AND ICE CAP ZONE MUSIC HERE AWW YEAHHHH BABY KNIGGLES THE ENCHILADA TIME
Fucking peak
where was wade
Somehow forgot to log this on backlogg. This is a fine enough remaster of sonic 3, but damn does it feel the most buggy out of the games in origins, and the prototype tracks in this just aren't good at all. Worst version of Sonic 3 I've played
good
This review contains spoilers
9.6/10
Really good game, I enjoyed blue spheres but I prefer half pipes more, the controls are good here, the ost is nice too, the sonic 3 half I enjoy a lot but the sonic and knuckles half here is fine. The level design in sonic 3 is pretty good, it's just fun from start to end, sonic and knuckles is fine, it really depends on my mood, sometimes I think it's good but other times I don't really like it.
Music for both is pretty cool too for both, ice cap and flying battery are my favorite zone tracks.
That's all I have to say for sonic 3&K, talking about the remaster, this is the only project in origins that the devs actually cared about what they're making. Since the others felt like really lazy ports of the mobile version but that's just me.
I still do keep my opinion that 3&K is a fantastic game from start to end.

So this is the Origins version, and the current build. It plays incredibly, but the replacement tracks are still just bad. I can stand them, but they still suck compared to their prototypes or just the original OST. But this port’s much better after all the updates. From a general standpoint? Perfectly fine way to experience 3&K for a casual fan. Not the best if the game owns a part of you like it does me. Bitch suck dick.
The new music replacing the old is a shame, but not really a huge deal. I think S3&K is AMAZING either way, super fun level designs and paths, great soundtrack, fun bosses, and Knuckles. I put CD on the same pedestal as 3&K but it's pretty obvious this is the greater 2D game.
Best one out of the classic 2D Sonic games
i think i have replayed this game more time than i have drnk water
Still the best classic Sonic game. It has issues, specifically the levels sometimes being too long for the timer, but it seems Sega made sure that these style of Sonic games went out on a high note until they eventually topped it with Sonic Mania. The replaced music in this version is a shame, but the new music isn't bad so I'm fine with it, and it's only an issue if you've played the original and are attached to those songs.
Best level design for classic sonic by far but some parts feel unfair and remind you that you are still playing a classic sonic game
This is like the game to ever. Its just pure joy every time I play. The is the best official to play it as well. even without the upgrades in origins, sonic 3 is a 5/5 game. And now its even better.
One of the best 2D platformers of all time!
The best of the original four games. While I don’t like some levels, like Sandopolis, the level designs are the most refined compared to the others. Likewise, the graphics are absolutely stunning and a quite noticeable improvement over 2. The elemental shields give Sonic his own unique abilities to compensate for the other characters expanded movesets.
Now onto Sonic fo… Oh no.
Now onto Sonic fo… Oh no.
This is the peak of the series. Sonic 3 was already a great follow up to Sonic 2 but then to have Sonic and Knuckles added in as well just makes this something really special. The "& Knuckles" levels feel like a nice continuation of the story and the boss fights are some of the best in the series
I always thought that people were just blinded by nostalgia and this game was nowhere near as good as everyone said it was...Because that is always the case...Particularly when it comes to Sonic. However, after having played this game, I can say with certainty that this has dethroned Sonic Mania as my favorite 2D Sonic game.
Simply, everything about this game is really good. The stages, the music, the controls, the level design, the level gimmicks, the bonus stages and minigames; even the storytelling is good in this one, and these characters never speak! it just has it all!
The best part about it to me however, is the fact that, this is the longest 2D Sonic game they've ever made (Or that I have played I guess); this means that you will have plenty of content and hours of thrilling fast paced platforming to keep you entertained. I still remember how happy I was once I beat the boss in Launch Base Zone, which felt like the end of the game, only for it to just keep going with like 8 more zones.
I was just having a blast with this game the entire time, and I kinda want to replay it again the same way I have replayed Mania like 9 different times. I do have one complaint tho, ONE thing this game does poorly, and it is that FUCKING BARREL.
I'M SORRY, I HAD TO COME BACK AND MENTION THIS. WHY WOULD YOU DESIGN IT LIKE THAT SONIC TEAM?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I WAS STUCK FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES AND I HAD TO LOOK AT A YOUTUBE FUCKING VIDEO SO I COULD GET PAST THE STUPID FUCKING B
Anyway, it actually is that good, give it a shot if you haven't. 3 Knuckles out of &....................Knuckles.

É tranquilamente o melhor jogo em 2D pixelado da franquia, os antecessores são espetaculares, e mesmo assim ele conseguiu dar de 10 a 0 em todos.
peak sonic
Yes
Neben Sonic CD glaub ich echt mein lieblings classic Sonic geworden
I love you Knuckles...
blue spheres echoing in the distance
A really good way to go out for the classic 2D Sonic games. Not a fan of Sonic's new sprite, but it is not that big of a deal.
While not better than sonic 2 in my opinion, this is definitely a very fun game. The sliding mechanic is very annoying to me, however the other mechanics are fun and the music most of the time is pretty good.
Redoing this one too because I didn't realize how much different this version of 3&K was compared to its original release or A.I.R. Not too big of a list of complaints for the game itself but the engine used in Origins clearly wasn't finished, which was explained by the devs by the time of the game's release. The momentum is just off in particular moments in Carnival Night and Ice Cap paired with the shit ton of collision issues that might actually be worse than its Genesis counterpart. The new compositions reek of Sega's inability to give developers comfortable working schedules (to the point they just didn't allow the original team to work on the game post launch), mainly because of how easily they could've upscaled the audio of the Prototype soundtracks, instead of just dumping them on entirely different hardware like idiots. But that aside this is still Sonic 3K at its core, and the level design is as rich as it is in every other version that exists. I should also mention that this project was a remake from the ground up, something I wasn't aware of during my initial playthrough, and it is very apparent from the tons of new sprites for Sonic and the animations for cutscenes to bridge the gaps the original couldn't, since Sega wasn't any better on their employees back then either :/. I'd definitely recommend AIR or even just the original release over this but for modern consoles it is competent, and unfortunately the ONLY official way to buy the game for modern hardware, as every other version was delisted when Origins came out, along with the other games in the collection having the same treatment. I hope Sega learns how much they'd gain by just giving their workers time to finish a product, because by all accounts, Sonic Origins as a collection is competent, and the amount of work put in to it is apparent, but it is far from the definitive product it could've been and showed signs of being throughout its runtime.
I see why it's the best out of the four, lots of charming visuals and music, it has a ton more effort than the other ones and the in game cinematics are something this games needed a lot.
Except for that box in carnival zone, that one box lowers this game's core by 7

haven't been on here in a while, played and beat a lot of games since my last review, and i'm excited to eventually get back to reviewing/rating everything on my profile as well as potentially revising existing ones. i think the main reason i haven't used this platform as much as i used to is because this thing doesn't have a mobile app. i'd go bonkers on here again if it did, and i think it would probably get more eyes on this platform than it currently has, which is like maybe seven. i know it's a small team over there but i really want to see this succeed! in the sea of quite a few "letterboxd but for Evil Gamers" websites this one stands above the rest as one that doesn't suck complete ass. i like having a platform where i'm able to succinctly talk about games while also goin crazy over them if need be. helps to sort my thoughts and appreciate what i'm reviewing more. i also like that people read and sometimes like them that's nice. oh yeah also this game is fucking awesome
Sonic 3 is incredible (even though it got understandably ratio'd by Mania), and Sonic and Knuckles is a big wet fart of a second half, but overall yeah it's good and stuff
i don’t use the word peak lightly but,,, what can i say
