The value story
It has never been cheaper than $11.99. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 24 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 78 percent. Sonic Origins ($29.99, scores 34) outscores it, and so does Sonic Mania ($19.99, scores 65). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
28 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 411 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 28 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 522 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 5.2 hours. Doing everything runs 18, 3.4 times as long.
At 5.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Spoiler and Tantrum Warning: Okay starting off, its a great game really, but i got 3 criticswhich makes this game very unfun. The first being the Trip Fang Final Boss, tell me why every 70% of his moves are instant kill and i have to do 2 Long ass Phases which take like 10 hits for each phase which takes about 2 minutes to even get 1 Hit and if i die, i have to Start All over again, like which guy in the studio...
first, this game is largely incredible. the levels are vast and the zones are unique, with physics that feel nearly identical to those of the genesis games and sonic mania. the game is high speed, yet leaves a lot for those who wish for a more explorative playstyle. the cast of characters playable is perfect with each having varied movesets. the visuals are perfect for a 2.5d sonic game, and blows previous attempts...
I just got done playing Sonic Frontiers and had new hope installed into me, played this next to catch up on Sonic games I missed. Holy.. This has to be a reskin of Sonic 4 Chapter 3 surely.. -OST is mostly horrible a few Tee Lopez songs to save the day and the rest is Sonic 4 midi hell. -Gameplay is hectic in parts where you can't even see what's happening. -Bosses feel awful Biggest gripe of everything is that the...
