The best and my favorite modern Sonic 2D game, the game is done with pure love for the Sonic franchise, many easter eggs and bringing back playable old characters like Mighty and Ray.

Sega allowed some huge Sonic fans to make an official Sonic game. Easily one of the greatest Sonic games ever made!!! This felt like the true sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Not sorry Sonic 4 series, they just can't compete with this. I loved all the surprises as well. The DLC adds a bit more to the overall experience. You surprisingly get a couple characters to play as. Some fantastic newer zones to play. Even the older zones are still a lot of fun to replay with newer sections added. Sonic Mania has a truly fantastic soundtrack. I played this on a few platforms. It really deserves to be on GOG. I'm even sure it's going to be among the most bought Sega games very quickly. Sonic Mania is a must if you're a Sonic fan. I can't criticize it much because everything about the game done incredibly well.
This is a fantastic throwback to the original Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Genesis; it deserves to be playable without any DRM to hold it back. Sonic Mania is not just a great game, it's a testament to the love and dedication of Sonic's fandom, without which this game would never have existed. By the Mania for the Mania!
I was born in 2002, but thanks to the sonic classic collection, the classic sonic games, 1, 2, and 3 & knuckles, were are huuuuge parts of my childhood. I never had an Xbox, I never had a playstation, the world of platforming was my gaming world, and Sonic was like a home where I could always look forward to a bed and a hot meal. comfortable in seeing the familiar face, but always captivated and excited by the exhilaration of a new adventure. Now, Sonic hasn't been nearly as fun and cool as he once was in the last, 10 or so years. But Sonic Mania was my first trip home in a very long time. The love for sonic throughout this game is undeniable: it's incredible soundtrack, its thoughtful level design, and its expanded roster of characters, all point to a team who was ready and willing to give classic sonic the tune-up that it had deserved for more than a decade. The graphics are so great, and yet so faithful, it can trick your brain into thinking classic sonic has ALWAYS looked that good! This isn't necessarily a ticking clock, a "We can't get this game anywhere else!" situation, you can get this game on basically every modern console. I think this game should be on GOG because GOG loves videogames. I think a videogame that's built with such a strong love for classic sonic should be available on a platform that is so vocal about its love for classic titles. A love letter should go in a heart-studded 'love envelope' that matches.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
