PlayStation Now: 15 Massively Underrated Games You Must Play

12. Sonic Generations

What?! A good Sonic game after the 90s?! Surprisingly, yes - and do you know how Sega's 'Sonic Team' did it? By reverting back to the original side-on formula for half the game (letting you play as original short n' stumpy Sonic), before firing through a series of behind-the-back stages as the more lanky, 2006 incarnation. The latter sections literally just feel like those moments in Burnout where you deploy an entire bar of nitrous oxide, only for the whole screen to turn into a tunnel of motion blur as you struggle to avoid crashing. If you can keep your cool though it's exhilarating - an actual, fully-updated 3D 'modern' Sonic that connotes the same blisteringly-fast feeling as rattling through the likes of the Green Hill Zone from '91.

Then there's the classic stages, which are pretty much Sega going "FINE, you can have an HD version of the originals". Each zone is lovingly recreated and updated, the music coming along for the ride but being given plenty of bass to power you through to the end. A really subtle thing is how the menu theme will change depending on what you're about to select, a simple-yet-effective inclusion that shows for once, both Team Sonic and Sega's hearts were in the right place for this one.
