No, you might not understand the fandom's radical autism, but there are fun Sonic games to enjoy nonetheless

Good question...
Sometimes I feel sorry for younger people who weren't there back in 1991 to actually experience Sonic when it was new, before all the furry and autistic madness that came after thanks to the comics, Sonic Adventure, the internet, etc.
I think it's possible to get into Sonic now (in which case I'd recommend starting with Sonic 1 on Mega Drive), but I don't know if your brain would be able to separate the original game from the shitshow that's modern Sonic in general. I hope you can.

Its neverrrrr too late to go full SANIC!

>lock on

>can't play as knuckles in sonic 1

>>7101641
No.

>>7101641
The original 4-5 games all hold up.
You don't need to go further unless you really want to.

play all the main series games upto Sonic Adventure 2

>>7101641
No, just keep your guard up on how far down the rabbithole you go lest you end up like this

>>7101641
Never too late to play a good game. I mean, it probably won't blow your mind the way it could've if you'd had the chance to experience it in days of yore but you'll still enjoy it. Unless you're a gigantic poofter, that is.

No, the fans have already walked into every landmine laid by Sonic Team and Sega. The path forward is clear now:

Sonic 1 -> Sonic 2 -> Sonic 3 & Knuckles -> Sonic Adventure -> Sonic Adventure 2 -> Sonic Generations -> Sonic Mania

Not great but not bad: Sonic CD, Sonic R, Sonic Colors

NO, it's to late to get into Power Blade.

Its scarey

Do people unironically like Adventure 1 & 2?

As a kid they were great, going back now they are abysmal games and lay the groundwork for the sonic autism.

saved kek.

>>7101641
It's too late to expect anything good to come from Sega.

>>7104618
I think more people like those games then they're willing to admit. Sure they're not that well crafted but they're still really fun to me.

You need Sonic CD after 1 on your list.

Sonic 1, 2 and 3&K are kino.
Sonic CD is like a divergent sequel to Sonic 1 and is also kino.
After that, things get messy...
Sonic 3D Blast has its defenders but it never did much for me.
Sonic R is a jankfest but I personally enjoy messing with those controls/physics.
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are somewhat controversial; while there is genuinely enjoyable gameplay in both, there are also some questionable choices in terms of design/story, and this is generally considered the start of the modern Sanic shitshow.
I've never fucked around with anything else in the series, but I know that Sonic Mania was generally well-received (though some criticized it as too derivative).

I wouldn't "get into" Sonic, bro. Just play and enjoy the first 3 games on the Genesis, and possibly CD if you want a non-linear Sonic game.

What? No, they're not going anywhere.

adventure 1 is a janky piece of shit and it's still one of my favorite games
by all accounts i should hate it but i can't bring myself to

>he doesn't know

Sonic Adventure 2 is unironically worth it just for the Chao raising, that's peak Dreamcast-era Sega.

there's like five or six good games and there won't be any more, so any time is a good time

>>7106815
there will be if sega gets other people besides sanic team to develop the games.

The Genesis games are still classic platformers so I don't see why not. It's a (mostly) quality franchise.
