Seeing classic Sonic stages with polygons and retaining much of the original gameplay style is itself cool вЂ“ albeit with some caveats. Act 1 featured classic Sonic-style gameplay with a side-scrolling perspective and lacked things like Sonic 4вЂ™s implementation of things like boosting or auto-aiming and dashing at enemies in mid-air. It also used a time travel motif to feature stages from most major Sonic games up to that point, enabling it to be a вЂњbest ofвЂќ game that tried something new with various level themes.Д«ringing back classic levels has become a common trend for Sonic, but no game quite did it like Generations. One of the few games to blend 2D and 3D gameplay well was Sonic Generations, which came out after Unleashed and had the benefit of seeing what worked there and what didnвЂ™t. The post-2D era of Sonic has been a weird one, with many games coming out in 3D that didnвЂ™t fire on all cylinders while games like Sonic 4 dropped the ball when it should have been impossible to do so. WeвЂ™ve covered Sonic the Hedgehog quite a bit in the Graveyard and itвЂ™s been fascinating to track the franchiseвЂ™s highest points in 2D with things like the third entry alongside games that felt like they were greater in real-time than time showed them to be like the Sonic Adventure series. YouвЂ™ll see both good and bad souls unearthed every month as we search through the moreвЂ¦ forgottenвЂ¦parts of history. Inside, weвЂ™ll be digging up games that have long been without a pulse. Watch your step, for youвЂ™ve just entered the Graveyard.
