Sonic Rumble – Global Launch Trailer | PLAY NOW! – YouTube
“It’d be one thing if it was just kept to the shop where you didn’t see it, but it’s always in your face,” another Steam user writes, pointing out how the storefront and promotions are constantly visible during play. See the review on Steam.
Some players are also upset that the game feels thin on authentic Sonic mechanics. As one highly rated Steam review notes in bullet-point fashion, the only thing that really ties this release to Sonic is the roster of characters. Read that review here.
Developed by Rovio Entertainment—the studio known for Angry Birds—Sonic Rumble launched on PC with a companion mobile version. Sega acquired Rovio in 2023, which helps explain why the title leans heavily into mobile-style monetization.
Another reviewer cuts to the chase: why would you pay the cost of two skins for something that isn’t a full, polished racing game? If your aim is a multiplayer Sonic racing experience featuring Tails, Knuckles and company, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds remains the stronger choice for now.
