Is Sonic Lost World worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Sonic fans who want an adventure with movement abilities and power-ups

- PC players seeking a paid action-adventure game with controller and keyboard support
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a slow, contemplative adventure rather than rapid traversal and timed movement

- Players seeking a role-playing game with character builds, dialogue systems or party management
Our take on Sonic Lost World
Players may hit a wall during the Deadly Six encounters, where the game expects movement skills and Colour Powers to be used together. Those looking mainly for relaxed exploration may also bounce off the rapid traversal across changing surfaces and orientations.
What is Sonic Lost World?
Sonic Lost World follows Sonic and Dr.
Eggman as they explore the Lost Hex and confront the Deadly Six. Levels move through varied settings, including underground passages and structures suspended in the sky, with routes that send Sonic across surfaces and through different orientations. Sonic can vault obstacles, run along walls, dive between islands and use the returning Spin Dash. Colour Powers provide additional abilities for flight, destruction and attacking enemies. Each member of the Deadly Six has a dedicated boss encounter that uses these movement options and powers. The PC edition includes NiGHTMARE Zone DLC, 60 FPS gameplay, HD resolution support, gamepad and keyboard controls, and Steam functionality.
