Blog:Ranking The Sonic Eras

I will rank all three Sonic eras from worst to best.

Number 3
Number 3: Modern Era (2005-present).

We can pretty much all agree that the Modern Era for Sonic is his worst era. Most of the games in this era are either mediocre (like Sonic Forces, Sonic 4 Episode 1, Sonic Lost World, or Sonic Unleashed) or just downright terrible (like Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric). However, it's not to say this era is without good games, because there are a few good ones, like Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations, Sonic Riders, and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity.

Number 2
Number 2: Classic Era (1991-1997).

This era started off the entire series, and it has less mediocre or bad games. In fact, it only has three mediocre games (Sonic R, Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic Drift) and two bad games (Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth). Every other game in the Classic Era is good.

Number 1
Number 1: Dreamcast Era (1998-2004).

This is what I consider to be the best era for Sonic. The two worst games from the Dreamcast Era are just mediocre (Sonic Shuffle and Sonic Pinball Party). Every other game in this era ranges from good to phenomenal, with the best ones being the Adventure games.
