- Sonic Colors Ultimate is definitely conjuring up memories of the 3D Sonic era in its execution. This game was considered a hidden gem back in the day, but really is just one of the better 3D Sonic games. It still doesn’t come close to matching the excitement of the classic style or even the more recent Sonic Mania.
Ken McKown · Oct 12, 2021 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Every new addition and change to this remaster feels poorly implemented, however, with even a handful of new bugs and palette issues, often making the core gameplay less optimal than the now-dated Wii version. It’s a disappointing port of a great game, and Sonic Colours is good enough to be worth the experience even with the aforementioned shortcomings. But we would have expected a better job overall.
Győző Baki · Oct 08, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Sonic Colours Ultimate might offer a few extra bells and whistles over the Wii original but with it a bunch of bugs and rough edges too. It’s a real shame, as SEGA had a chance to take what remains one of the hedgehog’s best 3D adventures to date and make it even better. In the end, what we wound up with is a messy update that gets the job done but that’s about it.
Ryan Janes · Sep 21, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - All in all, Sonic Colors Ultimate is a mixed-bag remaster of a good game. It has many bugs and some poor choices but is a fun way to play Sonic Colors.
D. Crowley · Sep 17, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - When Sonic Colors: Ultimate feels like a Sonic game, it’s tremendously satisfying. When it deviates from the familiar pattern, it all feels a bit too slow and forced, shoving in too many ideas to master any of them.
Jen Allen · Sep 17, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Sonic Colors: Ultimate is certainly a fun game. Whether you’re new or have played the original Sonic Colors, Ultimate is something we’d recommend if it’s caught your eye. With its multiple variety of levels and unique worlds, there’s a lot of fun to be had trying to get the high scores in Sonic Colors: Ultimate.
Jarren Navarrete · Sep 15, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - As a lifelong Sonic fan, I’m glad I was finally able to play Colours, and in the best possible fashion thanks to the nice audio/visual upgrade. The core gameplay is great, and the Wisps add far more than I thought they would to proceedings. Some of the classic issue with 3D Sonic games remain, but these are limited in what is otherwise a great time.
Jamie Collyer · Sep 09, 2021 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - As it stands, Sonic Colors: Ultimate might possibly be one of the most embarrassing releases in Sonic‘s already uneven history, and one depressing way to celebrate the mascot’s 30th anniversary. If you really want to play it, try to grab a copy of the Wii version. It is still the best one out there, despite its age.
Leo Faria · Sep 08, 2021 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Sonic Colors: Ultimate remasters the original 2010 release on the Wii, upping the graphics and offering more ways to enjoy the game. Despite some speed bumps, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a worthwhile revisit to one of the series' greatest adventures, and stands heads and Tails above many other 3D Sonic games. This is Sonic done right, and having it modernized and on PC at last is a treat for fans and newcomers alike.
Cameron Woolsey · Sep 07, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - There are some nice new additions here, and while the cutscenes are still low quality, the in-game visuals have cleaned up very nicely indeed. It’s just a shame the gameplay is so all over the place – one minute you’ll be having the time of your life, the next, pulling your hair out in frustration. It’s tough being a Sonic fan, and Sonic Colors: Ultimate does little to ease the pain.
