    I won’t pretend that Sonic Forces is a disappointment – it telegraphed its kitchen sink approach to content a long time ago. Desperately trying to please every kind of Sonic fan, it is every bit the mishmash of half realised ideas vying for your attention that it seemed like it would be. I guess I just never expected that their attempts to hold that attention would be so feeble.

    this game is awesome
    and follows the boost formula perfectly from unleashed and generations and colors
    if you really enjoy playing the previous boost games i recommend you to play this one as well

    dont care about the biased ratings it doesn't make any sense that they gave colors and generations such good ratings while forces is getting more hate than positive ratings
    forces is a mix of an improved sonic colors and generations

    Sonic Forces attempts to go new on ideas on story and gameplay without improving what might have been the most anticipated game on the market.Sonic Forces attempts to go new on ideas on story and gameplay without improving what might have been the most anticipated game on the market. To be completely fair, this was saved from actually being rushed to the market so I'll give it a chance to give it the score it deserves. There's no other way I can describe Sonic Forces without taking up a huge chunk of my time so I'm just going to call it the newest Windows Vista of the franchise. It's so addicting that you could possibly find a way to play to the end and end up loving it, but, like Windows Vista, it's not safe from the flaws it receives. I'm sure we'll get a better Sonic game one day, but for now we have to get used to what they gave us. Full Review »

    Welp, sadly this Sonic game is very catastrophic.

    The story is pure nonsense. It's similar to a 3rd grade fan-fiction. And that's say it
    Welp, sadly this Sonic game is very catastrophic.

    The story is pure nonsense. It's similar to a 3rd grade fan-fiction. And that's say it all.

    Gameplay? Well, the Sonics are very buggy, I don't understand why they haven't used the Sonic Generations' controls. Not the perfect physic for Classic, but at least is was not buggy!
    At least the Avatar has a solid gameplay. But this is a Sonic game, this is not sufficient.

    Ah, right. The level design. The legendary level design of this game.
    The level design is horrible. In some levels I died because... Well, I don't know how to describe it. Some manual parts are designer for drifting, but you CAN'T BECAUSE THEY HAVE REMOVED THE ABILITY TO SONIC TO DO IT. And if you don't go slow you can easily die. Yes, you must go slow in a game where the protagonist like to run fast.

    The bosses! The bosses are the best! The succeded not only to recycle bosses from old games, but... To recycle bosses in the SAME F***ING GAME. TWICE.

    You can personalize the Avatar however you like, you have too much personalisation for it. Maybe if they used that budget in making a better gameplay or level design... but I know, that's a dream which cannot possibly become true.

    For me, this game is a very big joke. Bad story, bad gameplay. I don't recommend it.
