Former Wii U Exclusive Sonic Lost World Launches On Steam November 2nd
Yeah, as if anyone would voluntarily play that game again. I got it on Wii U for free, thanks to a free download code, and even then I have never touched it again after playing it once and seeing how horrible it was.
It’s better than Sonic Boom by a long shot.
Maybe so. But that’s like comparing cancer to aids. You’d want neither of those.
That was a great analogy. I busted out laughing on that one, spit all over my screen. Lol.
A-fucking-men. :)
Horrible? Really?
More so than all shitty Sonic games combined.
Yeah….no. At least it was playable *cough* ’06 *cough.*
Who are you kidding? It’s more than buggy, it’s an incomplete disaster that looks worse than a crappy looking PS2 game and worse, the dumbass “obvious” dialog just won’t shut the fuck up for 2 seconds.
It was playable, but not very enjoyable because they messed up the most basic of gameplay elements in the game. The three main means of attacking enemies in Sonic games have always been jumping on enemies, using your homing attack or using your spin dash, and I can say that at least the first two methods were incredibly buggy in the game and didn’t work as intended. More often then not, they would lead to you getting hit, even when performed correctly. This pretty much lead to frustration within the very first minutes of gameplay already. I didn’t even bother playing the game again after getting somewhere past the first boss. The game definitely had more than just “a few rough edges”.
True, true. Good points. Stranga could learn how to express his points better form you.
I paid full price.
AND downloaded it.
So yeah. My dumb ass got handed to me.
I will say, I love the Zelda DLC. I wonder if Steam will get that.
Good luck Sega.
I can guarantee you that it will have neither the zelda nor yoshi dlc
I also paid full price, but bought the hardcopy.
Both Zelda and Yoshi DLCs were indeed great. I also liked the game overall, but Sonic Colors is still superior, in my opinion.
I doubt it’ll get it legally in the PC but modders will definitely try to implement something of the sort.
I preordered the game for the Deadly Six bonus content… Wasn’t worth it, IMO.
Going back to play the game again, though, it isn’t as bad as I remember it to be. When I was first playing it, I was hating on the game a lot. I think it had some patches and became relatively okay.
me too, I wish I hadn’t wasted that downloadcode for this game :(
Lost World was alright. I actually liked its shift in focus onto platforming over speed and wish the new direction had been better executed. I think it all depends on what you want from a Sonic game.

I thought it was pretty fun, not amazing, but it was enjoyable.
I rather pick this over Boom period.
I have the game, and it’s pretty OK for a Sonic game, I loved the controls but I hated how gimmicky are the wisps in this game, I missed the boost mechanic and I have mixed feelings about the story.
I’m still waiting for Sonic Adventure/Rush 3 and/or Sonic 4 Part 3.
Sonic Adventure 3 is already Sonic ’06 :v
Its technically not named Adventure 3 isn’t it?
I always thought the deal between Nintendo and Sega established that Lost World would be a Wii U lifetime exclusive. Also, unless I’m wrong, Nintendo paid for the title development, or something along those lines.
If so, it is likely that Nintendo will get a percentage of the Steam sales revenue. If not… This is Nintendo being backstabbed again.
probably no backstabbing unless they backed out of the agreement… it would be a contract of sorts, something we don’t have all the details of.
Right, that’s correct. That’s why I scratched my head when I saw this post…
If the last part is true, they deserved it and I’m sure Lost World is a timed exclusive but the DLC will stay in the Wii U version.
Any news if it’ll be free to owners of Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed, as the only way to buy it (currently) is to get Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed with Sonic Lost World.
It was good but nothing special not really a great lost
i never played sonic on Nintendo console. I always found it to be an aberration.
Have you ever tried Sonic Advance trilogy or 2 Sonic Rush games? They’re very good.
I’ve already paid for this once – shame on me. I will pirate this time around.
Anyone on the fence about it, I will tell you to pass. The parkour system will kill you more times than help you, the bosses are pathetically easy, the level design is some of the worst, and the plot is atrocious.
But you can even agree on one thing: It’s miles better than fucking Boom.
That I will agree on. Any other Sonic game is better than Boom, even R and 06 and Shadow.
I miss playing Shadow the Hedgehog. I loved the fact the spin off wasn’t a carbon copy of every other Sonic game and is the only spin off from Sonic I would have followed if it had became a subfranchise of Sonic.
Meh, I think the only good thing that came of it was that we finally got Shadow’s background solidified. Everything else was just… off about it.
Because of how much Shadow the Hedgehog is apparently hated, me loving that game is a guilty pleasure these days. Of course, the fact I’m a big video game soundtrack buff might be my main reason for loving those games because the soundtrack was undeniably awesome in my opinion.
I totally get you. Say what you will about Sonic 06, I’ve always thought that game had a great soundtrack. The tracks for Crisis City and Kingdom Valley are phenomenal.
Never played Sonic ’06 but if the music is great, I might have to look up the soundtrack later if I don’t forget or get sidetracked by games, television shows, WWE, or movies.

I’m probably the only one who prefers this game over Colors. I love the spindash more than the boost, and the parkour is usually optional, so whether you like it or not, it shouldn’t overly hinder gameplay. I do think the bosses stink and the plot is cheesy, but this game gets way too much hate in my opinion. But hey, to each their own.
I liked the game but I’d rather have seen it go on PS4 and XBOX One than Steam.
Fuck Xbox and PS4 will get its own Sonic game eventually that’ll outshine this one. Let Steam have this game, wait for PS4 to get a new game and FUCK XBOX TO HELL.
>>>At least we will always agree on the Xbot problem, I can’t stand them any longer>>>
Dude, any common sense person would know Xbox is a POS that can’t even stay stable for 2 second after turning it on and fuck its ripoff $60 FREE ONLINE PLAY.
This game… I have a love/hate relationship with it. It’s really fun on some levels like the first Windy Hill act, but it gets really annoying later on. Most of your deaths in this game will probably be trying to control Sonic rather than actually getting killed by enemies. Overall, I hate more levels than I like in this game. The snowball level, the rail levels, the sky level, and Tropical Coast have made me rage furiously. I got it digitally when I played it, but if I had a physical copy, I would’ve traded it in. But I ended up dealing with it and just beat it. It’s really short, the bosses suck, the controls are annoying, and I didn’t feel satisfied at all after beating it. Was not worth all that I had to put up with. The final boss is easier than most of the levels. No way I’m buying this game again. If the next Sonic game isn’t Adventure 3 or at least like Colors/Generations, I don’t even care.
Word for word exactly how I feel about this game.
“Assuming that adventure 3 will come out…” Years after the dream cast died. XD

LOL…
Sonic Adventures is hands down my favorite Sonic game. I need my Chao fix bad… Ugh, I loved those cute little things… But in general it was just so much fun.
I don’t know about you, but my favorite games are the ones that really immerse you into their world. I felt like the first Sonic Adventure did that really well, it was… How do I put this… A real adventure… >.<
I just had an idea, Sega should make a mobile Chao raising game… Why, why haven't they done this already?!
Sonic Colors > Sonic Lost World > Sonic Boom
Now the imminent BS “run button” will now be a thing in the past when modders get their hands on this. XD
The demo is what caused me NOT to buy it. But Sega is stupid like Nintendo so……
Have fun PC gamers.
