Very pleasant detailed figure in computer game (5)

I believe the answer is:

sonic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'figure in computer game' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'very pleasant detailed' is the wordplay.
'very pleasant' becomes 'sonice' (I've seen this in another clue).
'detailed' means to remove the last letter (the word must be end-less or 'de-tailed').
'sonice' with its final letter removed is 'SONIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sonic that I've seen before include "Kind of boom" , "Like mine, possibly" , "Using waves" , "Involving sound waves, say a boom" , "Travelling at Mach One" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
