    Forces is about what everyone says it is. Basic and uninteresting level design, Classic physics that feel like a s s and a story that reaches the level of borderline clickbait, play Sonic Generations instead. It's basically this game but done right in every aspect.

    O problema de Sonic forces e a sua falta de jogabilidade e o seu vilão inexplorado e e claro o Sonic Clássico que foi usado só para marketing mais vamos falar sério primeiro:o personagem criado não apresenta diferença nenhuma pro Sonic moderno só servindo para customizar o que é legalzinho segundo:as fases só se resumem a deixar o botão de bost apertado pois é zero dificuldade só paraO problema de Sonic forces e a sua falta de jogabilidade e o seu vilão inexplorado e e claro o Sonic Clássico que foi usado só para marketing mais vamos falar sério primeiro:o personagem criado não apresenta diferença nenhuma pro Sonic moderno só servindo para customizar o que é legalzinho segundo:as fases só se resumem a deixar o botão de bost apertado pois é zero dificuldade só para jogadores muito casuais que só querem relaxar terceiro:o vilão tinha tudo para ser o melhor mas acabou virando só mais um vilão aleatório… Expand

    Not the best, not the worst, but it admitedly receives too much hate, it was a fun time, but I'll NEVER go back to it, it's the type of game to be played just once

    This game is... well ok, it’s not good, but it’s not bad. As a huge fan myself I can confirm that the game has flaws, the level design isn’t very polished, you’re basically holding Square/X throughout the game. This game was rushed if you didn’t already know. Even throughout all the negative things such as the story, the game is still enjoyable and fun.

The physics are very bad, but it dosent ruin everything, we’ve had worse games in this franchise. It’s enjoyable, certainly not a game you buy a evening to have a blast with but buy it when it’s on sale and invite some friends.… Expand

    this was one of the most disappointing games of all time. I had such high hopes after sonic generations and colors, only to be disappointed by one of the most mediocre games of all time.

    It is a Sonic game made with a lot of laziness. The physics are crap, the story is nothing serious, the levels are quite short, there are bosses that are reused... But believe it or not, it's an enjoyable game if you intend to get all the rings red stars, numbers and moons of all levels! That's why I give it a 7.

    i played this game about a year after its release and it was ok the customizing feature was good but it was the only strong point the gameplay was too easy and the story was repetitive there were too few levels but it was good overall

    This game is the manifestation of mediocrity. I mean what a crappy game and probably the worst Sonic game by SEGA and the Sonic Team in a long time. Sonic 06 was glitchy but at least it had a vision and tried to be something. Sonic Forces is a blatant cash grab with no vision. It's a cheap version of even the worst Sonic game I can think of.

The only cool thing was the personalized character which doesn't make up for this crappy game. 5/10 is generous here as I thought of giving it a 3/10… Expand

    This game is pretty mediocre, some tracks are good, but in general feels very rushed and uninspired, ganeplay while fun doesn't adds anything new and just ruins everything the previous games bulid.
    Is soulless and a bad attempt for appeling to nostalgia

    Although not the best sonic game it is not the worst one either that goes to sonic 4 but the avatar customization was good classic sonic sucked and modern sonic levels were too short and the avatar stages are fine

    Definitely not the worst Sonic game like some people will say, but still a relatively skippable game that isn’t worth the money.

    The game IS fun, but it fails at basically everything just been saved by the music, the villian (not perfect but interesting to say the least), the concepts it tries to do, and well the boost formula been just fun in itself.

    This game is the perfect example of "Great ideas, awful execution"    … Expand

    While it looks and sounds great on an S-rank run, regular play is messy and unsatisfying. Mania's Classic Sonic must wonder what nightmare dimension he got sucked into. [Jan 2017, p.90]

    As the latest generation of the Sonic series, Sonic Forces retains the high-speed game experience. To comply with the trend of the times, Sonic Forces reduces the difficulty, hoping to use this strategy will attract new players who have never tried this kind of game. Unfortunately, the length is not sufficient enough to satisfy players, and too much repetitive content makes this game boring.

    The efforts for modern concept of the legend came out of the way. Sonic Forces has obvious problems with the transition between two perspectives as well with the movement and speed. Only customization possibilities and several new weapons saves it from the average.
