Is Sonic Lost World worth it?
Sonic Lost World is worth it if…
- you want a Sonic game that plays more like a playful 3D platformer than a straight speed run
- you like colorful, cartoony worlds with a silly sense of humour
- you enjoy platformers with branching paths and levels that bend into spheres and cylinders
- you have the patience to figure out a moveset the game barely explains

Run up walls, across ceilings, into the sky
Sonic moves differently here. The Spin Dash is back too, and the parkour opens up routes a normal run would never find. Levels bend around you: massive courses that curve into spheres and cylinders, so you race across the outside of a planet-sized ball one moment and through underground tunnels the next. It takes a few levels to get a feel for the new controls, and the game is not great at explaining them, but once the wall running clicks, the platforming opens up in a way few Sonic games have tried.
A world that looks as good as it sounds
The Lost Hex is bright, saturated and cheerfully strange: vast structures in the sky, honeycomb highways, desert ruins and lava mountains, all drawn in soft, rounded shapes with a friendly tone throughout. The soundtrack carries a lot of that charm. Tracks like Windy Hill Zone and Honeycomb Highway are the kind of tunes that stay in your head long after you put the controller down, and the music is a highlight even for players who are hard on everything else.
