So I by the powers that be I decided to look up some sonic games and was pleasantly surprised that they're all on sale and was looking for some recommendations. My only exposure to sonic is I know its a sort of action platformer and the franchise has changed a lot. Only games I've played was like a browser version of the OG and some spin off racing one on the Wii U.

I was definitely was gonna get frontiers and strongly considering sonic x shadow generations for like 30 bucks but I was wondering if there were any must haves

Just noticed that the Sonic Advance games haven't been re-released in the west, they're tough but good platforming games of the GBA era. Sonic Battle is another GBA game that is actually a fun battler.

Of the 3D games, people always prefer Sonic Adventure 2, which I also think is better than Sonic Adventure 1 - it shows its age more than 2 - and although most people don't seem to like it, most levels of Sonic Heroes are interesting or fun, but having to play through all of them 4 times to unlock the final ending is a fucking chore.
