  14. Sonic Mania is a throwback to the original quadrilogy of Sonic games for the Genesis, but it far outperforms them in terms of quality and fun. The game feels like it picks up where Sonic and Knuckles left off in terms of gameplay quality, with nothing but improvements. The level design, like the soundtrack, is a wonderful work of art. Sonic Mania is one of the few games released in the last decade that has lived up to the anticipation and is well worth your time.
