It could be argued that this is a problem of bad communication, as these charts always look to accentuate the FOMO of not buying the most expensive version of a game immediately, but that argument fails to hold water. Despite everything except the Letterbox Backgrounds from the Premium Fun Pack being available in the Digital Deluxe Edition, you won’t get those Letterbox Backgrounds in the Deluxe version unless you pre-order or purchase the Premium Fun Pack, which is just ridiculous. The chart showcases how Sonic Origins’ content is spread out across three different DLC packs, but unless you pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition, you won’t receive access to everything for some baffling reason. Having basic spreadsheet literacy has become a genuine need in order to understand what content you may or may not receive depending on if you’ve bought a deluxe version of a game, or pre-ordered it even, but Sonic Origins’ content chart is beyond even parody. It all sounds great on paper, but SEGA have undone any potential goodwill that Sonic Origins might have had by creating one of the most ridiculous and pointless content charts ever seen. Is there a mission mode and overall meta-game to incentivise replaying these legendary games? Aye, there is. Are there additional modes to include infinite lives, helping players who might struggle with the classic difficulty? Absolutely. Can you use Sonic, Tails and Knuckles across Sonic 1, 2, 3, S&K and Sonic CD? Yes, and that looks brilliant. It’s a shame, because it sounds like everything child me would have wanted from an updated version of these classic Sonic games.
Unfortunately, now that it’s been given a release date, I can’t get excited for Sonic Origins. I, erm, have beaten the game since, by the way. Sure, I had to get my mum to beat the final boss of Sonic 3 because I couldn’t do it, but that’s besides the point. It’s a nostalgia kick as someone who spent a long time playing Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Sonic & Knuckles on the SEGA Mega Drive as a kid. Sega doesn't make up for their absence with stuff like Sonic's 3D games from the Dreamcast or the series' edutainment weirdness on the Sega Pico.They’ve been ported across plenty of different platforms over the years now, but if you were to say “hey, would you like to play the original Sonic games again for a small nominal fee?” I’d probably snap your hand off.
Other compilations have gone above and beyond by adding other Sonic-themed 16-bit games, along with 8-bit games from the Master System and Game Gear, but those are missing this time. The biggest issue is that Sonic Origins includes just four games: Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and the "complete" version of Sonic 3 (meaning "and Knuckles" as a locked-on combination of two cartridges). Let's start with the price-to-content ratio because $40 suggests an amount of Sonic content that would make series fans swoon. Sadly, I'm reviewing this $40 (or, honestly, up to $48) compilation of 16-bit Sonic games not because it's great but because it's weird.and Knuckles

If you've missed any of the other 30-plus ways to play the series over the years-or have kids who want as much Sonic content as possible after seeing the series' live-action films- Sonic Origins launches later this week on PC and all console families.
