Hey, I started learning C++ a few weeks ago and I want to start making engines. I'm wondering which is better for a Classic Sonic styled game, OpenGL or SDL2? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Which is better for a Sonic styled game? OpenGL or SDL2?

It totally depends on the focused hardware you intend it to be played on.
But for sake of "simpleness", and ease of programming, I'd use SDL2. Sonic styled games are mostly a 2D platform/adventure games, so then unless you'd like to use Pixel Shaders and all that fancy (and useless IMO), graphical effects in excess, I'd use SDL2.
If you intend to make a Klonoa styled game themed as Sonic, then you might use OpenGL.
Do you have any graphics style idea beforehand?
