Let's Play Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I (Blind!)
Full Name: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I
Console: Nintendo Wii
Release Year: 2010
LP Timeframe: September 25th - October 3rd, 2025
The Sonic the Hedgehog series has been one of Sega's most iconic franchises since its debut in 1991, with the Blue Blur quickly becoming a rival mascot to Nintendo's Mario. Known for its high-speed platforming, colorful worlds and energetic music, Sonic carved out a distinct place in gaming history and built a massive fanbase across decades. The classic Genesis titles remain beloved, setting a standard for 2D platformers with their blend of speed, precision and style.
Released in 2010 as a downloadable title for WiiWare, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I was marketed as a return to the series' 2D roots. Developed by Dimps and Sega, the game attempted to recapture the spriti of the Genesis originals with side-scrolling action, familiar enemies and classic power-ups like the homing attack. However, the game received mixed reactions, with some fans enjoying its nostalgic approach and others criticizing its physics and design choices.
InvictusBM LP #008
My first finished blind LP! And also a very short one, but since I've been getting back into Sonic in recent years, I wanted to try a game that I never played before and which has quite mixed opinions about it. It was over before I knew it, and I did enjoy it, though I definitely do see obvious flaws, the biggest being probably Sonic's movement physics. Episode II won't come anytime soon due to the 15-year rule - we'll probably have to wait until 2027 for that. This LP lasted for 5 episodes.
