As someone who has played a lot of Classic Sonic it was nice to have a game that really challenged me. It took me a few attempts to beat but I definitely enjoyed my time with it. Sure the difficulty doesn't always feel the most fair, with some questionable enemy and hazard placement, but for the most part it feels reasonable.

This game does a good job of taking the foundation of Sonic 1 and remixing it via clever reuse of existing artwork and music to make something that feels both fresh and familiar.
