Should be really reserved.
The physical console versions only contains "Sonic Origins", all the PLUS Content is only avaible via Download-Code. So the plus version will never avaible when Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo one day shut down there online services. A physical pc version isn't even avaible. The steam version also have the nasty Denuvo DRM, this also needs to be removed.
So yes, this game really needs to preserved.
Sonic Origins... you know, I've been begging for years home ports of the mobile Sonic 1's and 2's Retro Engine ports ever since Taxman and Stealth gave us excellent ports of Sonic's original 16-bit adventures and hoping we could get the same treatment for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles one day. Well, wish granted by the monkey's paw...
There's no excuse for a collection of 30-something-year-old Sega Genesis games (I know they're based off the Retro Engine remasters, but these game were Genesis games originally) and Game Gear games to be locked by anti-consumer DRM like DENUVO and has a bad reputation of hindering performance of some games. Even console players are treated like second-class citizens when their respective releases does not come with everything on the disc or cartridge. Unlike Sonic Mania Plus, Sonic Origins Plus only comes with the base game while the rest of the DLC content (that should have been in the base game to begin with) is only given through a download voucher. Gee, thanks Sega...
As for the collection itself, it reeks of Sonic Twitter's "Better than nothing" hypocrisy since this collection feels like it offers the bare minimum to make it happen and some of the most egregious issues on top of it. The Story and Anniversary Mode are so redundant; the latter really could have been its own thing with the remastered features with a traditional lives system whereas the Story Mode should have been the "Easy Mode" without lives. That's not getting into how "Classic" Mode falsely advertises being the classic experience when it's not, it's just Anniversary Mode with a 4:3 aspect-ratio and lives, with all of the same gameplay and physics changes from the remastered version. Oh, but they'll preserve the original experience for the extra Game Gear games, which half of them range from being mid at best or hot garbage at worst. It doesn't even have Sonic Mania's CRT filters at all despite using a similar engine for the games themselves.
I been around majority of these Sonic games through out the years in some form. There's some new content mostly challenges and play as some Sonic characters in the games. Amy being the most recent playable character added. Also included as DLC is all twelve Game Gear Sonic games. The last time that happened was a particular version of Sonic Adventure on GameCube. I know some issues that weren't originally in these Sonic games are presented. Sonic 3 & Knuckles in particular replaced the soundtrack. Which might turn some people off. For what it's worth it's a lot of Sonic games for one price not bad.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
