Paradise Act 1 -upd- Download | Sonic Green Hill

Released as a major update to the original 2017 demo, this fan game immediately silenced skeptics. It isn't just a nostalgia trip; it is a fully-fledged argument that passionate fans understand Sonic’s 3D physics better than the multi-million dollar corporation that owns him.

For a fan game made by a small team (primarily one person, SuperSonic68), the optimization is respectable. On a mid-range PC (GTX 1060, 16GB RAM), it holds a steady 60 FPS at 1080p on High settings. There are occasional frame dips when crossing specific "zone boundaries" (where the level streams in new geometry), but nothing game-breaking. The -UPD- version fixed 90% of the crashes that plagued the original release.

Developer: SuperSonic68 / Team GHZ Type: Fan Game (Sonic Fan Remake) Playable On: PC (Windows)
