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?

I haven't played my Switch n a month or so, just been playing Xbox, and just picked to play lil and Damn that A and B, X and Y being reversed always gets me. -

I havent played my xbox360 is a couple of years. My switch got much use the last few days. Tears of The Kingdom is great+1 -
@
BigOnYa:
I agree Tears is great. I even played thru it completely twice. I've been hooked on playing thru Fallout 4 again though, after they released the next gen version for Series S/X. Is pretty cool update.

tears of the kingdom is not the type of game I would ever intentionally start over unless it had a new game plus -

NinStar:
because I already got burned out with breath of the wild, which for the most part is essentially the same game, and then again with master mode, which doesn't work as a new game plus (that always felt bizarre to me)
