In our most recent community poll, we asked readers to decide which modern Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay style reigns supreme, considering controls, level design, visuals, and music. The options were:
- Sonic Frontiers
- Sonic Forces
- Sonic Lost World
- Sonic Generations
- Sonic Colors
- Sonic Unleashed
With a total of 201 votes, the clear winner was the latest mainline entry, Sonic Frontiers, claiming 100 votes (50%). This result isn’t too surprising, as Frontiers grants players more freedom of control, including sliders in the game’s settings to fine-tune Sonic’s handling. With the release of the game’s second free update, players now have even more customization options and new moves to experiment with.
Coming in second was the fan-favorite Sonic Unleashed with 46 votes (23%), thanks to its fast-paced daytime stages that continue to resonate with fans. The game’s twitch-reaction gameplay, stunning visuals, and timeless soundtrack keep it a beloved entry in the series.
Third place went to Sonic Generations with 36 votes (18%). Celebrating Sonic’s 20th anniversary, the game blended Unleashed-style gameplay with revamped stages from Sonic’s past, alongside classic 2D platforming. More than a decade later, it still receives fan-made content, which speaks volumes about its lasting popularity.
The remaining titles were:
- Sonic Colors: 12 votes (6%)
- Sonic Forces: 7 votes (3%)
- Sonic Lost World: 0 votes (0%)… ouch.
