    For a game that took 4 years of development, I'm sorely underwhelmed. A 2 hour game with levels that consist of a minute and thirty seconds just isn't my style.

Modern sonic lost most of his moves which stops the level designers from adding anything interesting, classic sonic seems to have lost momentum which is counter intuitive to his basic fundamentals, and the avatar is just modern sonic with enemies lazily placed on the terrain only to be destroyed without effort.… Expand

    Bad Game ever
    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.    Bad Game ever

    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.

Keep political propaganda out of games aimed at kids/youth.
    Also if you're going to introduce a new character, or even a recurring character, there should be an explanation as to how/why that character is even in the game in the first place! If you're gonna just throw in some fan-favorite characters, or spam the "create clone" story crutch, or make yet another failure of a deep, dark story, the music, gameplay and/or level design should make up for it! At the end of the short gameplay, it feels like so many things in this game were just recycled and downgraded.    … Expand

    I did not like being forced to play as the 'avatar' so much. I never liked the idea of the avatar to begin with, and I wish there was an option to exclude it completely.

    Too much dumbed down automated gameplay sections and not enough sections requiring precise platforming skill.

    Overall, what I took away from this game is that it's style over substance. Great eye candy, but vapid gameplay.

    Personally, I am hoping for a follow up to Sonic Mania that is sprite based and isn't bogged down by fluff like voice acting and eye candy at the expense of substantive things.

    I have 100 or so minutes played. That was enough for me to evaluate and get a refund.    … Expand

    I'd say it's a very fun new adventure, I especially liked the character customization. So many options and accessories for you own character, unlocked by getting higher ranks. I also like the Wispons a lot, they put an interesting twist on the gameplay increasing the replay value, as different wispons have different paths made for them. In short, I LOVED the custom character.

    I also enjoyed the story as it's dark and keeps you interested in the game, but at the same time doesn't take itself too seriously as it is a sonic game.

    The Modern sonic stages were also really fun with the boost gameplay, and the boss stages were a delight to play. I don't particularly enjoy the fully 2D Classic level but they weren't bad.

    Sonic Forces has levels that are either shallow, gimmicky and boring or just broken, with just a few exceptions in the whole game.

Sonic 3D controls are correct but incomplete, lacking Drift and Air Dash. Sonic 2D controls are decent. Avatar's controls are a mess, the character goes from walking to dashing in a second, even if you slightly press the stick and this results in cheap deaths because of the levels that don't fit in this control scheme because you have to walk longer than a second before jumping and just before jumping you accidentally dash and fall off.

    The first levels of Sonic Forces are disappointing and the last levels are infuriating. Two boss battles are fine and creative (Zavok and Mystic Jungle Infinite), two of the three battles against Infinite are confusing and the final battle is challenging in the wrong way. The music and presentation is the best that the game has to offer, since the story relies too heavily on negative feelings and death in a serious way instead of cartoony and comical like before. The first time you play the game you'll get tons of notices with useless cosmetics for your avatar. This is not the worst Sonic game ever but it's certainly the most disappointing. If Sonic Generations is 10/10, this is 1/10.    … Expand

    Es un buen juego y sega hizo buen trabajo. No es una revolución, mas bien es un juego para mantener vivo al personaje por que da para mas. La jugabilidad esta bien hasta cierto punto, sonic moderno tuvo sus típicas fases frenéticas y de implemento bien la nueva jugabilidad del avatar que aparte tenia una personalización infinita y para todos los gustos, el único que fue en declive fue el de Classic sonic que “cojeaba” en aspectos como su velocidad que sentía a veces que se frenaba y en el spin dash que era lo que me gustaba del del generations, eso si implementaron el drop dash que podía mas o menos fácilmente eclipsar lo demás.
    En general me gusto la historia, no era un sonic adventure 2 obviamente pero mejor que los últimos juegos después de unleashed. Eso si tenia huecos argumentales y algún que otro fallo de lo que podía ser la historia como que : “por que silver aparece en la resistencia así de la nada” o, el poco o nulo protagonismo de Chaos. Lo otro bueno son la participación constante en la historia de los amigos de Sonic , excepto de tails y Classic sonic. Lo otro bueno son los niveles, que en general todos me gusto mucho el diseño con una calidad grafica bastante buena para ser una portátil donde también los 920 p no se notan, aparte opino que me impresiono como sega logro hacer que el control del personaje sea como de 60 fps a pesar de que el juego valla a 30fps .Lo ultimo malo seria que los jefes son fáciles y un poco igual los niveles que de ves en cuando te cuesta sacar una S.
    Nota 10/10

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5 años han pasado, no solo he logrado un juicio critico completamente superior a esa época si no que, incluso en aquel tiempo sabia en mi interior que estaba siendo benévolo con sonic, por que honestamente en aquel tiempo también me sentí decepcionado, pero nunca me pareció justo el trato que estaba recibiendo sonic y por eso decidí defenderlo. Aun así y aunque siga defendiéndolo en muchos sentidos, creo que debo ser justo con este juego y exponer mi nueva perspectiva critica.

    Evidentemente era un juego con el propósito de mantener al sonic moderno "vivo" en el mercado, uno completamente mediocre y que es hasta un poco triste.
    El diseño de niveles de sonic moderno se vio limitado a pasillos con apenas una que otra ruta diferente que al final vuelve al mismo camino rápidamente, no se recompensa en casi ningún sentido el esfuerzo por querer encontrar mejores formas de pasar el nivel, sobre todo por que hagas lo que hagas o como quieras hacerlo podrás obtener una S super fácilmente. El personaje es super estático y el homing attack es mucho peor utilizado en el diseño del nivel, sin decir que se siente mas torpe, lo demás lo típico, todo muy automatizado, super corto y con físicas limitadas.

    Nuestro personaje tiene un customize bastante pobre, personalmente no exijo mucho en un customizador y aun así sentí que todo era super simple. El diseño de niveles del personaje esta OK, realmente no es que me haya impactado ningún nivel y en realidad no soy el mayor fan de los wisp ni de cerca, pero si admito es algo que diversifica mucho la manera en que puedas pasarte los niveles, y los con Sonic en general estaban bn.

    Classic sonic sigue siendo medianamente disfrutable, pero su control y físicas fue contundentemente empeorado con respeto a generations, a veces tiene un diseño agradable, a veces es completamente olvidable.

    La historia es de lo peor de todo sonic, Ken Pontac creo que ha sido el escritor desde Colors y es de lo mas reprochable que ha tenido Sonic desde que existe, colors si bien tiene un desarrollo super infantil y con un sonic simplificado a solo bromas, no se tomaba en serio y el contexto seguía siendo un poco interesante, en Generations la historia es una justificación básica sin relevancia, Lost World fue una cosa rara, pero en Sonic Forces la historia se pasa de pretenciosa, intentado tomarse en serio varias veces, con personajes que están absolutamente infantilizados. Un montón de fanservice , ya sea los villanos, los secundarios, sonic clasico o tails, todos tienen un impacto casi nulo en lo que pasa y solo son justificados por una "guerra" de la que ni sabemos de como se llego ahí, y creando incongruencias completas con algunos como silver o Knuckles (como casi siempre). Aparte, ¿y las esmeraldas? ¿No era un momento obvio para ocuparlas o buscarlas?. Y bueno infinite es un villano planísimo y "edgy".

    Lo demás, apartado grafico decente, visual bastante bueno, música que incluso siendo obviamente mainstream la considero bastante buena (No la mejor de un Sonic ni de cerca), y pues todo al final para un cierre fácil y con un mensaje que queda super intrascendente y tiempo de juego mínimo, que ni si quiera el precio reducido justifica.

    Wispons for the avatar are broken and unbalanced; they give you the most OP one right off the bat and it just removes any challenge from the game there would have been. The avatar is a nice way to encourage replayability, but the levels are so garbage, uninspired(the levels in the game range from green hill, chemical plant, random burning city, casino night, etc, all levels from past games), so even with the avatar I didn't want to replay any.

The level design is uninspired, characters do not control well (classic sonic being the biggest offender), the story is not good, the soundtrack is not as good compared to previous titles, this is just a downgrade in all aspects to what Generations offered, and this game tries to be like it a large amount considering classic sonic did not need to be here.

I played this in 1 day, completed it, and promptly forgot about it. This isn't worth 40 dollars, or roughly one dollar you are paying per stage that lasts just barely under 2 minutes oftentimes.… Expand

    This is hands down the worst Sonic Game ever created. At least 06 tried to be something while this game is a absolute soulless cash-grab, The gameplay is so offensively simple and the level design is impressively inconsistent, Also 3 hours? Pathetic

    argh, sonic forces. I bought this at launch, and it remains my biggest regret.

    You can beat a lot of stages by holding down boost and jumping. No stick movement at all. That should tell you everything about this crap.

    Only the nostalgic levels really work, but if you want another run across cult classic Green Hill Zone, you can always launch Sonic Mania that came out back in August. [Issue#226, p.59]

    Sonic Forces’ few merits (like the soundtrack) are not enough to offset primitive gameplay, crude level design, poor pacing that completely obliterates the sense of speed, and the script that resembles a fanfic. [01/2018, p.42]

    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.
