The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a must-play experience. Sega has hit it out of the park with a Sonic-themed mystery adventure visual novel boasting captivating storytelling, fantastic character interaction, as well as a stellar presentation and soundtrack of similar quality. I had a big ol’ smile on my face from beginning to end, and can’t recommend this game enough. The fact that it’s free is almost criminal. Sega making another entry like this is wholly up in the air, but I’ll be hoping with all my heart that they do.
The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a very entertaining, casual-paced visual novel based on a beloved video game franchise. I enjoyed my time playing it, and I’m impressed by the level of detail and care put into a free title. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is one April Fools’ Day joke that’s so much better than one initially expects it to be, and a part of me hopes there might be more games of this ilk in Sonic the Hedgehog’s future.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a simple and short, but enjoyable visual novel that is graphically polished and, above all, completely free. The platforming minigame could have avoided the final difficulty spike, but if you are a fan of the blue hedgehog you should give it a chance.
Sega surprised us with this visual novel, more fun and enjoyable than we could have expected, that all Sonic fans should try.
Chock full of mystery and fanservice, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog takes the blue blur in a refreshing new direction. This trip on The Mirage Express might be a radical detour for the blue blur, but one should grab their ticket for this wild ride.
The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog is a simple and fun visual novel adventure that any Sonic fan can click with. Even though it's been released for April Fools, the game is well polished and offers a truly engaging experience.
The Murder of Sonic is a quirky addition to Sonic’s library, if not anything particularly ground-breaking. It might not make up for Sega trying to sell us the main menu and cutscenes for Sonic Origins separately, but it’s a nice gesture.
"For our april's fool joke, let's make a good Sonic game, that will surprise them"

Because I know what the organization wants, I don't like the new April Fool's game. It's riddled with propaganda and their intentions. They're not joking and they are declaring what they want to do before hand. It's especially sick and disturbing to me because true Sonic is based off of actual people on the Japan side of the company. Some of these characters...aren't just characters. It's one of the hidden truths, so I don't hold it against people who don't know that. Also...some Japanese officials didn't have much of a hand in the game than said. Looks like I have to add here: No one has to believe me. I don't expect anyone to. I would appreciate if people would stop harassing me and being rude to me over a conversation I was having with someone else.
