About

Sonic Colors Ultimate is a remastered platformer that speeds up the original 2010 game with updated visuals and tweaked mechanics. Play as Sonic and his crew in a story about stopping a cosmic threat, using signature moves like spin dashes and chaos control. The single player campaign focuses on fast-paced level design while the added multiplayer lets two players team up or race through stages. New features include a reworked chaos control system and adjusted level physics for smoother gameplay. The launch edition bundles a small baby Sonic keychain as a collectible bonus. While not drastically different from the original, fans praised the sharper graphics and improved frame rates that modern hardware allows. Available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch since September 2021, it serves as a solid entry point for newcomers and a welcome polish for returning players. The game sits at 82/100 on Metacritic with particular praise for its revitalized handling and extra multiplayer content.
