You can also watch my two part Sonic Mania video review, if that suits your fancy. Mod support also isn’t ready for the Epic Game Store version just yet, but I’ve heard they might be working on a fix for that, so stay tuned, I suppose. It’s worth mentioning that I personally haven’t tried to do this, because my current install of Sonic Mania is on Steam, so your mileage may vary. This means that once you download the Epic Game Store client (click “Get Epic Games”) and use it to install Sonic Mania, you can close and maybe even uninstall the client entirely and still be able to play Sonic Mania without it. My understanding is that, with a few exceptions, most games on Epic Game Store are DRM free. Once you do that, it’ll be in your account forever (theoretically). All you have to do is register for an Epic Games account and claim the game.
I’m sure the whole entire internet has told you this by this point, but if you don’t know, Sonic Mania is currently free to own for the next week on the Epic Game Store.
