7. Limbo/Sonic
So we all need a good Sonic game right? What better way to make one than to mix it with the eerie atmosphere and constant threat of Limbo. Watching Sonic speeding through a monochrome world avoiding deadly traps? Count me in! So this one is a no brainer, as described above keep Limbos aesthetics and add in a silhouette of that speedy hedgehog and its a recipe born to succeed, I think rather than Limbos enemies we should definitely have Sonics evil nemesis, Dr Ivo Eggman Robotnik as the main antagonist and keep much of the gameplay true to Sonics early days. As to what we should include from Limbo other than looks, Im not overly sure, Sonic is a speedy guy and Limbo likes to take it easy and puzzle the player. Maybe some inventive takes on the Limbo traps that are more fitting with Sonics speed such as timed bear traps that mean Sonic has to keep moving in order to not get mangled. Speaking of mangled Limbo also has some rather interesting gore elements, should these be included? Would anyone enjoy seeing that childhood friend get torn to shreds as he zooms through a set of spikes? Certainly would prove a deterrent to getting things wrong in any case. At the top of this I mentioned Limbos atmosphere being a crucial part of this mix and I think that should remain although the world will go whizzing by the gloomy feel of Limbo is a powerful one and should definitely be included in the mash-up.
Games Similar: Well once again not really anything here to compare, but a good chance to recommend Limbo to anyone who hasnt played it. Also if you can pick up an early Sonic where the series was still good and 2D like its meant to be pick it up!
