Sega's violent assassination of its own mascot seems to have gone down a treat with fans.
It's pretty funny that Sega's best-received Sonic game in years is a jokey, Poirot-esque visual novel about the main character's brutal assassination , but it makes sense. The game is genuinely funny, and its writing goes far beyond what you'd generally expect of a quick April Fools' gag.
Plus, I defy anyone to say that they didn't do a double-take when a game titled"The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog" manifested on Steam with full Sega branding, and the fact that it's totally free meant our curiosity was easily sated. It's a quality product with a great hook, so no wonder it's won people over.
God willing, this will encourage Sega to pour effort into a new game in this mould. Let me investigate Tails for tax fraud, Sega, you just know that little guy is fiddling the figures somewhere along the line. I have to wonder how Sega feels about its top-rated Sonic game being fundamentally a joke, and one that centres around its iconic mascot's murder, no less. There could be some mixed feelings there, but when it comes down to it, I imagine the company is just happy for Sonic to be getting so much positive buzz.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
