Sonic Mania Plus Reviews
After so many bad outings in the series, Sonic's legacy was beginning to turn to dust. Many mistakes have been made in trying to emulate, yet evolve the 2D adventures of yesteryear, with failed projects, such as Sonic 4. Sonic Mania Plus, however, restores the series back to the gold standard. It will be revered for decades with the community who will no doubt set this as the benchmark for any future sequel to the series.
Sonic Mania was one of the best games of 2017 and Sonic Mania Plus is basically offering something more for those who are looking for more content. Encore is a solid addition, with two new playable characters, new mechanics, new special stages and challenges. The competitive four-player is also welcome. If you have not played Sonic Mania yet, the time is now.

It seems a lie that one year has passed since that wonder of game that is Sonic Mania came out, and now Sega surprises us with a DLC and a physical edition that improves even more what is undoubtedly the best Sonic game for many years

Sonic Mania was easily the best title to star Sega's mascot in years and Sonic Mania Plus builds upon these foundations to give fans a more refined and content packed version of the Blue Blur's triumphant return to two dimensions.
Overall, Sonic Mania Plus is a great game. While the Plus part really only gives you two new characters and a harder version of the game, current Sonic Mania owners will only have to pay five dollars for the DLC which isn't too bad. Even 30 dollars for those wanting a physical version is still worth it for the main game alone if you don't already have it. Either way, fans of Sonic who haven't played this yet should definitely pick it up at some point.
If you are looking at grabbing the Sonic Mania Plus as DLC or picking up the full copy of the game it looks to be a brilliant addition for any Sonic fan.
Simply put, even if you've never played a Sonic game, you'll still have a ton of fun within the exciting world of Sonic Mania Plus.
"Sonic Mania Plus" is a speedy return of Sonic the Hedgehog, and this time he brought even more friends. The new and improved cast does plenty to enhance the game and its many stages. This is the best version of the game to check out whether you're adding to "Sonic Mania" via DLC or picking up the beautiful physical copy. If you gotta go fast, this is the best way to satisfy your need for speed.
Relive your early gaming days (or your parents’ early gaming days) again with new characters, new stages, and new modes for an already fantastic game. You’ll get an even bigger nostalgia kick and an excellent 2D platformer that still runs very, very fast.
Sonic Mania Plus is proof that nostalgia can be done right when it comes to the gaming heroes of the past.
Sonic Mania Plus offers a number of quality of life improvements, but the Encore Mode features some questionable design decisions. Those looking for more Sonic could do far worse than this title, but don't expect the extras to live up to the lofty standards set by Mania Mode.
Sonic Mania has some faults to its name, however these don’t deter from what is otherwise a fantastic game.
Sonic Mania is the Sonic game we've been waiting for years, the one we're likely to play for years. The bedtime fairy tale with a happy ending that we would like to hear told before bed. A tribute to the original capable of taking every single bit from the original cartridge and creating something capable of making us relive the same emotions of the past when the blue hedgehogs began to make the plumbers dressed in red tremble for the first time.

Whether you have not played Sonic Mania or are just looking to add on more time with the game, Sonic Mania Plus is definitely worth checking out. With this release, I hope that Sonic Mania 2 is possibly in our future.
A 'complete edition' pack that only include one new DLC with two characters and one game mode. It may not look like much, and ifg¡ you already have the digital version of the game you don't need to buy this Plus edition... But if you haven't played this superb platformer yet or you are a hardcore Sonic fan you have to have it.

Not only this is a great Sonic game made even better with the new 'Plus' expansion, it also comes packaged in with a physical version that might as well be a collector's item with the efforts spent on it to make it resemble the classic Sonic games on Sega Genesis.
Sonic Mania or have yet to play it, Sonic Mania Plus delivers more of the same great gameplay the original game provided.
Sonic Mania Plus makes a fantastic game even better and brings new characters for old fans to enjoy.
Minor as the additions the Plus expansion brings, Sonic Mania is still one of the best 2D platformers in recent memory, and is definitely the best Sonic game in a very long time.
If you passed up on Sonic Mania last year, this is your chance to play one of the generation’s best platformers in its best form.
