Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 14 → 1.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

its so bad that it loops to being good, only to loop to being bad again only thing remotely positive i can say is that id prolly fw the artstyle a bit if it had better lighting MAJOR PRECAUTION IF YOU TRY THE GAME: when you close it, itll sometimes be open in the background and still increase playtime stats.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode I é um jogo de plataforma 2D com gráficos 3D lançado pela SEGA e pela Dimps em 2010 (chegando à Steam em 2012). O projeto foi concebido como uma continuação direta dos clássicos da era Mega Drive (Sonic 3 & Knuckles), marcando o retorno do mascote à jogabilidade clássica de rolagem lateral. O game é realmente muito bonito porém faltou feeling para destacar a diversão, não sei explicar ao certo o motivo do game não ter me cativado. Sistema de conquistas eu em particular achei tranquilo (quando você entende como se faz) Confesso que fiquei com dificuldades se eu recomendaria o game ou não, mas, eu vou recomendar por conta de toda a sua franquia.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

This game is overhated. It controls very nicely, looks pretty good, its well optimized, and is generally fun to play. However it does have its faults. The game is short, you can choose where in the game you want to start from which might be a turn on for some people but not me, and theres an exit prompt and you have to configure your own controls and settings. Long story short if steam had a mixed review option this game deserves it and is not worth full price.
Comprei sabendo que era ruim, mas me surpreendi, é horrível.
it's just mid
i dont know why this game is so hated it really is not that bad the soundtracks are amazing the only thing i dont like about this game is the special stages and the model for sonic is like really weird but i do enjoy this game it is a good cheap sonic game
normally I don't do this, but yeah, game is ass, fun for a few, but still majority ass + brutal special stages
The Games issues mainly come from the physics. Unlike other Dimps developed sonic game like the advance or rush games the physics are not response and don't have momentum. this defeat the point of a sonic game. the level design is also sup par. 4/10
USEN EL SONIC 4 MOD MANAGER, SUBAN LA RESOLUCION INTERNA DEL JUEGO Y USEN LOS MODS iPAD HD TEXTURES + SMOOTHER CELL SHADERS, ME LO VAN A AGRADECER. El juego es mejor de lo que la gente dice, es bastante entretenido y si le das oportunidad a la musica ni tan mal, la verdad es que el problema es que Sonic parece lubricado o algo asi, pero es un juego entretenido, ademas de que desbloqueas el episodio Metal para la parte 2, jueguenlo y dejen de copiarle la opinion a puro ♥♥♥♥♥♥ y larper.
Too many issues to play. Says works with controllers but it does not respond. The OK button changes depending on the screen. You get hit mid air by enemies because it cancels your spin dash in air. When I close the game the music fails to stop.
