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.… Expand

    In short, the history is generic and sometimes you will get some bugs but I rly enjoy It. Epic music + speed make rly increadible some moments. My expectations were rly low and I m not a fan. Just play this as a chill game. No good histroy but satisfactoey kinestetic. I recomended but dont spect a Sonic adventures or Skydriver

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although Sonic Forces doesn't advance the series in any manner except for allowing two lines of games (classic and modern). It is still a fun adventure, the levels are the right length although could've used more variety. It is clear to see they invested the most time in the avatar and it pays off it has countless costumes etc and a good customisation system. The soundtrack for the game is great not better than Unleashed, Colours, Generations or the Adventure titles but some feel good tracks that work trying to stop Eggman. The boss fights are better than what they are claimed to be and the story although is dark is very orientated towards children also. Sonic has the same attitude and Eggman has actually almost gone back to his Adventure 2 villainy. Now infinite is the ultimate edgy villain but seems a downright idiot with some of his choices. The way they explain the returning characters through infinite making copies with the phantom ruby makes sense but the climax isn't as huge as it could be. The visuals is great a mix between generations and lost world and the hedgehog engine 2 is really played well here. The difficulty has some random spikes that are frustrating but overall is a mellow, easy game even on hard difficulty. If you're expecting a revolutionising adventure this isn't for you but if you're looking for a game you can just blast through, have fun and a Sonic game that isn't bad nor amazing this is good for you. It isn't better than Mania but it is still a worthy title with what looks to be a step in the right direction again. Also if you want lack of automation and really good physics again won't find it here. It has fun, unexpected twists in stages, amazing graphics and soundtrack, story could be better but is an improvement over a lack of story in recent years and good gameplay. Classic Sonic however didn't need to be in here and seems only to connect Mania and Forces as one. But it's worth the £28 I brought it for.… Expand

    Forget Mania, this is the Sonic game of the year. Pumping soundtrack, engaging characters and story, levels, while being basic in platform design, look spectacular and bring life to the stages and world of Sonic. Watching game play videos of the game doesn't do it justice. Give it a go and I can guarantee you will get some enjoyment out of it.

Modern & Classic Sonic all play very similarity to how they played in generations, and the Custom Hero plays very well as well. For Modern Sonic, his stages are mostly 3D with some 2D platforming parts. (Like Colors.) And Classic Sonic handles very well like in Generations And Mania. The physics has been ever-so-slightly been improved over Generations, but again, could benefit from some improvements. The controls for the Custom Hero can feel a bit unresponsive at times but does not ruin the core gameplay. And even though I feel like this game could've been better overall, I still do recommend this game to all Platforming fans and Sonic fans. Definitely a 9/10 from me.… Expand

    It's a decent game, nothing more than you would expect from the blue bur himself. Soundtrack is great as always, levels are short and somewhat mediocre for Sonic Team (except the ones that standout from the rest). Character creation is perfect and has possibilities. A recommended buy for anybody who wants to get into Sonic. Recommend the Switch version for portability over graphics.

    The environments are beautiful, the story is rich with many characters, and the level design is also good. Not on par with Sonic Generations but definitely as good as Sonic Colours. Yes, there are some linear parts but all sonic games have them, but Sonic Forces does provide interesting pathways for you to go through. The earlier levels are quite linear but as you go through the game it gets a lot better. Plus what adds to the replayability is the custom character's Wispons, which also provide alternates path for the character. The boss fights are also very fun to play and challenging, you're gonna have a good time beating all the bosses in the game.

    Speaking of custom character, i'm not really into making oc's and customizing, but the game provides you so many extra accessories for completing extra tasks and getting higher ranks and levels, I found myself going back to the custom character's room to see what's new and what fits my liking. I think that's a huge thing for people who are into character customization.

    Modern Sonics levels are also pretty fun to play through, although I should mention that the drift is now removed so sonic team have taken a step backwards in terms of controls for Modern Sonic. But the level design is very fun, again, it has linear sections but later in the game the level design really picks up.

    Now let's talk about the elephant in the room, Classic Sonic. I was skeptical about classic sonic going into the game like many others, but I gotta say, it's not that bad and I was quite pleasantly surprised. The levels have many multiple pathways and the controls and physics are better than Generations. That being said, it's no where near as good as Sonic Mania but I think that was bound to happen.

    So overall, I enjoyed the game from the start and I'd definitely recommend it to Sonic fans but also casual platforming fans. My only complaint is that Modern Sonic's controls could have been better.    … Expand

You can create an Avatar as the player’s personification, and it’s also nice that they can be freely customized.
    The design that retains the deep replay value and challenges while catching up on the exhilarating and speedy feels are amazing, as it allows anyone to feel good when playing it. You can create your own personification with the Avatar, and having them fight together with Sonic also gives freshness; the actions that use Wispons are also interesting. In stages where Sonic and the Avatar work together, the W.Boost has a pleasant feel in the dash, and the lovely BGMs fit every place and will raise your tension.
    The dramatic development is nice, since it once again recognizes the coolness of Sonic. The gimmicks that have excellent speedy feels, and the smooth transition from 3D to side-scrolling is also cool. Even in the same area, when the characters and gimmicks change you will feel a different sensation in playing it. With the Avatar-exclusive weapons you can taste the exhilaration of mowing enemies, and the tricky movement abilities are also interesting. There is also a variation of costumes. For the Classic Sonic, being able to use the Dash that originated from Sonic Mania is also nice.    … Expand

    Sonic Forces is the best 3D sonic game for a long time. It's like a Sonic colors, but better than that. Level design and graphics are the best quality and gameplay is just awesome! Levels (or episodes) aren't very long which is nice thing I guess. Character creation is pretty comprehensive and nice extra thing. After all this is one of my favorite Sonic games. This year is Sonic year!

The avatar has also very interesting gameplay with the wispons. Its also great to see your own customizable avatar every time you run through a stage with different clothes.

    The story is better than your average Sonic Colours and Generations with a stronger plot. Although they wasted potential of having supersonic in the story and just ends with a normal final boss.

    Level design is weak though and stages can be short, even though Generations did a fantastic job with it. But the overall speed and platforming can make stages fun along with the upbeat music.

    Overall Sonic Forces, while a step down from Generations with level design, doesn't stop it from being a great game with great music, graphics and gameplay.    … Expand

I've made all the jokes about obsessive Sonic fans and furries under the sun. So imagine my surprise when I actually ended up liking this feature.

    Sonic Forces is great. Sonic purists will probably stone me for this, but I enjoyed Forces more than Mania. The sense of speed is incredible and Sonic is faster than ever before. The controls have also improved and they're tighter and more precise than before. Gone are the ice physics of Unleashed and Generations that sometimes made it easy to lose control of Sonic. This time you're always in control. Sonic's homing attack is much faster and smoother than before and combat never becomes tedious. Classic Sonic's inclusion seems unnecessary and his stages were definitely my least favorite part of the game.

    The avatar plays similarly to modern Sonic. They can't run as fast, but they can use wisp weapons (or "wispons") to grapple and attack. It's surprisingly fun. Wispons have unique properties that change up the gameplay a bit and allow the avatar to take different routes. You're encouraged to switch wispons to fully explore stages.

    The avatar creator is rather limited, but it makes up for it by the large amount of costume part you can collect. There's at least 500 of them, possibly even more. The race of your avatar also slightly changes your play style, as each race has a unique ability. Birds can double jump, cats keep one ring when they take a hit and drop all their rings, wolves pull rings towards them and so on.

    The game has quite a lot of replay value as well. Collect red stars, go for S ranks, do time attacks, complete daily missions or SOS missions, there's always something to do. Each level your avatar completes gives them experience points, and each completed task rewards you with more costume parts.

    As for presentation, Sonic Forces looks and sounds fantastic. The game's interface is very stylish, the levels are absolutely beautiful to look at. There's so much stuff going on in the background that it's almost shame you zoom past all that in a matter of seconds. Voice acting is surprisingly solid by Sonic standards. Music is also great, the combination of a live orchestra and techno/electronic music is brilliant and really suits the style of the game. My only complaint is that the pre-rendered cutscene towards the end of the game looks very pixelated on a 4K TV. The rest of the game is very sharp and looks great, though.

    Overall, I love this game and I had a blast playing it. There's still a lot of content to unlock and I'll be coming back to Forces for a long time. If you like modern Sonic game style, you'll enjoy this game. If you prefer classic Sonic instead, this probably isn't for you. Stick with Mania for now.    … Expand

There are often time however where I may perform a spin dash when I didn't wanted but that is an over all minor thing.

    The biggest problem for me was some of the level design. A few too often times would I fall into a pit or run into an enemy simply because you would be going too fast and not have enough time to react resulting in rings lost or falling in a pit. With that said, the levels do still look amazing and they are overall fun.

    Bosses, some are very easy and some can be rather difficult which i do like as it does add a good balance. There is also a fair amount of variety in them however some, they are very similar.

    I do like how they combine the 2D levels and the 3D levels, the transition between the two can be confusing at first but you do get used to it rather quickly.

    Over all the game is pretty fun and I enjoyed it. There are a few flaws but they do not out-weight the positives. Music is great, story is good, level design is fairly decent with some flaws and the visuals are really good.    … Expand

Let's start, the 3 (4) gameplay styles are the key of the levels. To me the best is the avatar, having the possibility to create your own (Fan-Made) character is aaaaaawesome. I'm sorry the levels are so short and the game can be completed in 3-5 hours in hard mode. The story its the darkest I never found in a Sonic game (Apart '06) and the most epic. Infinite is a fantastic new character for the series. The graphics are the most spectacular, colourful and good-realized of the entire SAGA of the blue blur. The 60 fps are so fluid that you can literally swim into them. OK, the speed doesn't have control, literally, it' so confusing that you don't know what to do. Having another time all the allies of Sonic is sooo good (there's no one in this world who can hate them). This is one of the most enjoyable 3D Sonic games. Now, what are you waiting to join the resistance and go on adventures in this new brilliant adventure????? It's right that 4 years of work don't generally end with a "sixth part of a day" long game, but for theirest s a MUST-BUY in all the systems, including Xbox One X and PC (it's brilliant, but i personally recommend it when the price will get down at least, 10 bucks).

    I havnt bought a sonic game since sonic adventure so its been a while. I think its a very good sonic game and i was pleased overall. My only gripe is its a little short overall and the stages in general.

    I dont see where all the hate is coming from. This game is absolutely amazing and it definitely deserves more credit. This game is as good as say sonic colours and it was very fun and Interesting to play. I am not a sonic fan and this game is great. It also has an AMAZING soundtrack.

O jogo usa basicamente a mesma engine usada em Sonic Generations. Vamos aos pontos fortes e fracos do jogo:

    PONTOS FORTES:

    + As músicas e os efeitos sonoros do jogo ficaram sensacional e empolgantes, incluindo canções cantadas e várias vozes durante os atos de jogo.

    +O gameplay ficou mais aprimorado que o Sonic Generations, com melhorias em relação as mecânicas, física de controle dos personagens e o dinamismo entre os atos.

    + O novo personagem editável trouxe novo gameplay, podendo agradar alguns e outros não.

    + O level design traz diversos elementos clássicos e modernos da série.

    PONTOS NEGATIVOS:

    - O jogo em sua campanha descompromissada dura em média 2 a 3 horas. São cerca de 28 níveis intercalando em fases clássicas, modernas e do novo personagem editável.

    - O level design das fases está bem oscilante, algumas partes são belos exemplos de arte bela, algumas medianas inspirações e outras medíocres.

    - A duração dos atos ou as fases estão bem curtas, durando em média de 1 a 3 minutos.

    - Os níveis (atos ou fases) estão bem linear, com poucas variações de gameplay, poucos desafios interessantes e pouca exploração.

    PONTOS NEUTROS:

    * Os gráficos não trazem nenhuma evolução significativa, apesar de algumas melhorias como a grama de Green Hill Zone que está mais natural e viva.

    * A estória assim como os gráficos podem agradar alguns e outros não. Temos que relevar que esse é um jogo direcionado aos fãs mais novos. Entretanto a estória apesar de algumas falhas narrativas e falta de explicações de alguns eventos, ele é bem contada, bem humorada e legal de assistir.

    VALE A PENA?
    Sim, apesar de algumas falhas, o jogo diverte. O jogo não superou em qualidade de produção dos renomados Sonic Generations e Sonic Colors. Mas é bem superior aos jogos Sonic Boom e Sonic 2006. Não tenha medo de comprar!    … Expand

    Sonic Forces mixes everything great about Generations and Colors and still manged to get back to good things of the Adventure era, such as vocal and remixed ost, dark story, and Eggman being a good villain. It's safe to say, that it's the 2nd best modern sonic game, only behind Unleashed.

    Sonic Forces is a game that picks up where series left out with Lost World. The story here is great, not perfect, but great. They’re are a few plot holes in the story which have me puzzled at times? Like how Eggman received the Phantom Ruby or whatever happened to Eggman and Infinite after the final boss fight. Those tiny bits left me scratching my head, hopefully this will be resolvedSonic Forces is a game that picks up where series left out with Lost World. The story here is great, not perfect, but great. They’re are a few plot holes in the story which have me puzzled at times? Like how Eggman received the Phantom Ruby or whatever happened to Eggman and Infinite after the final boss fight. Those tiny bits left me scratching my head, hopefully this will be resolved with the next game in the franchise. Level design here is acceptable, its not as perfect as Unleashed, but it’s surely manageable. Some stages can be beaten within a minute while others can be beaten within 2-3 minutes if it’s your first try. SEGA has given the younger developers some time with the level design; giving it that fresh to lazy feel. Nonetheless you’ll have fun blazing fast through Eggman’s defenses. The music, of course with every Sonic game, is top notch, Tomoya Ohtani and The London Symphony Orchestra nailed it with this game. Without a doubt you’ll have favorite tunes, you’ll love one more than another without a doubt.
    The game isn’t bad, any Sonic will have fun with this. The story is straightforward, you’re able to create your own character, there’s plenty of collectibles, you’re given a short, but free, DLC pack that includes the prologue story featuring Shadow. In my honest opinion, I enjoyed every bit of this game, beautiful soundtrack, high speed action, customizable characters. To me, personally, I’ll remember this game as a saving point for SEGA. It’s great!    … Expand

    Sonic forces is a fantastic game, but not what a lot of people would expect it to turn out into.
    A lot of focus was put into developing a story that turns characters like Eggman into a real menace and the narrative was given much more of a better treatment and it certainly makes Forces seem well structured narrative wise. Not something I'm expecting to see from a Sonic game these days,    Sonic forces is a fantastic game, but not what a lot of people would expect it to turn out into.

Not something I'm expecting to see from a Sonic game these days, but all the while, a very solid re-enforcement to pay respect to. Sega does deserve to be praised whenever they do succeed in any department, more so since they could had easily just went the cheesy-dialog style last presented to us on Lost World.
    New to the franchise is the ability to create and customize your own avatar to be shown in all of his glory. This is very well executed with a whole lot of gear options and lots to chose from several races with unique ability's in game to further fuel up game replayability.
    Music is spot on, surely pulls a beat of which to remember as times go on. Lyrics make a comeback and they sure help convey the feeling of the world surrounding you with some unique tracks that will most certainly help captivate the level feel. All and all, a fantastic job done here, I'm glad they went with this route.
    Graphics are suberb, truly on a level that not many people would expect, if I had to describe it in a word: "Clean". Everything is smooth and pretty to look at.
    Physics are slippery at best, a vast downgrade from that of Generations I feel.
    UI looks clean, smooth, can't help but feel Atlus had a word to say on this department, good to know Sega is taking notes from his new ally. Its good to see when good things come together.
    Now on to the real deal here: Levels. Levels are a mixture of thoughts for me, as they chose an approach many people (such as myself) may feel alienated towards. Levels are short, with not much room to explore, which is definitely different from what was presented to us in Generations (which is also the game they proudly claim to be the team behind), so its only to expect people would come aboard the Forces train with that level feel in mind. Well, its really not.
    Albeit the levels are well executed and certainly interesting, level mechanics do somewhat of make a comeback which is a delight to see, levels do seem more bland and uninspired than Generations. However, and I say this from personal thought after thoughtfully analyzing what was realistically happening here, this decision seems to me made on purpose. They chose to have a multitude of levels grasping from Classic/Modern & Avatar and chose to make each of them pieces that only by playing as the three of them, do you make an entire level.
    Now I'm not going to defend this decision, I would be much more pleased to see levels brought to the level of mastery as presented in Generations. However, if I'm to look past this and understand that this was a choice, Levels still stand fairly well on themselves, just, I don't feel they are levels people would replay as much as, say, Green Hill from Generations.
    This game feels very cinematic, and I say this as a good thing, the game thrives in these moments more than I initially thought it would drive away from the experience. Albeit I'd like a bit more interaction, they are strong elements that are still a plus on my book.
    Missions also make a comeback, and they differ from your usual S rank from which you can probably easily acquire through much of your first level attempts, these are much more challenging, and albeit I don't believe one justify's the other, at least it gives you more to do if you wish to have a 100% completion bonus, which as you do get your S ranks, you unlock your prizes for your own Avatar character.
    There's also competitive mode to enthusiasm players who have a thing for the leaderboards and it certainly is very welcoming to see it back, so elements such as these will help making the game feel bulkier. Speaking of which, this is a bigger game than Generations (at least on a lock-on end goal marathon, can't really say as much if accounting for 100%), it does feel more polished which is a joy to see, just I don't personally think there's as much replay value to be found here in terms of individual levels. Sure you may get a kick of your avatar and it does help that everything else in the game is pushing you to customize your avatar more and more with cinematics to re-enforce how great he/she looks in-game, but if we're to look at what's the real thing you'll be playing, I feel level design does make the pass, in all fairness, but it would become such a stronger game if they tries to rival the absolutely fantastic level design experience that was brought to us in Generations. Personal thoughts here, but I'm sure a lot of people can agree here.

    Last note: I gave this game a 10. It's not worth a 10. Why did I rate it 10? Look around you, with the amounts of scores under 40, there's no other way to balance this.

But you'll probably forget about Classic Sonic quickly considering he's not a big part of the game. The story reminds me of the Archie comics. Charming but serious.

The classic Sonic stages are really fun too, especially when using Sonic Mania's drop dash to get around. Music is amazing as per usual of a Sonic title, plus they brought back Vocal themes! The story kept me engaged the whole time and I really felt like I was on an adventure with Sonic. 10/10… Expand

    Great Graphics, (Almost Perfect) Soundtrack, Fun, Not a single bug except for maybe M-speed (Which is really fun for speed runs) and Great Gameplay with TONS of Replay value. I would rate 9.5 but i have to round it to 10.

    but its not the worst
    this game has an OK story
    but they are compensated by a amazing soundtrack and the game play is very fun and the stages are very re-play ably fun !
    i highly recommend this to any sonic fan or gamer

    Sonic Forces is defiantly not the best sonic game out there, but its defiantly up there. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions on this game but I would have to recommend that you play the game from start to end to really experience it.

    The game is not perfect, but is solid and enjoyable experience. If you aren't one of the Whitehead's balls sucker, you will enjoy it. Creating new avatars is a lot of fun, and the wispons are really great to use.

    the game is pretty good. it has a good music but that's nothing new. the controls are off a little bit and sometimes the levels are pretty linear and automated but most of the levels are pretty cool open and with many paths + the game looks BEAUTIFUL . also the game is pretty easy but if you want a little challenge go for the s rank on every stage

    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.

    Good: Graphics, playability
    Bad: duration, no multiplayer or chaos garden.

Sonic Forces cumpre o que propõe com sobras, não esqueçam que estamos falando de um título de uma Franquia gigante, lançado para novas plataformas com preço bem a baixo do praticado pelo mercado. Diversão garantida, gráficos bonitos e trilha sonora empolgante.
    Entendo a frustração de alguns citando a jogabilidade e facilidade das fases, mas o propósito da Franquia sempre foi esse, velocidade, e Forces se destaca nesse ponto, tenho repetido várias vezes o mesmo estágio para tentar bater o ranking de recordes mundial, e em outros momentos busco completar o estágio em 100% das possibilidades é descobrir os melhores caminhos, verificando cada espaço.
    O modo clássico está ótimo, um dos melhores que já joguei... mesmo em certos momento fugindo do normal plataforma, mas o apelo nostálgico com adicionais de nova geração é claro.
    No caso do Avatar, é legal e foi o modo encontrado pra atingir novas gerações e público. Gostei de criar meu personagem e interagir, mesmo não sendo meu foco para jogar o título.
    O dois pontos negativos ficam realmente por conta da estória, que está diretamente ligado ao tamanho do jogo, mas confesso que a estória não me fez falta... já o tamanho do jogo sim, pois a vontade de jogar mais e mais o jogo está me fazendo enrolar pra não terminar o jogo, e assim que terminar vou buscar recordes e mais recordes de velocidade em cada um dos estágios.

    As a whole, Sonic Forces is decent, and is a solid entry to the franchise, but it does have flaws, especially in some level design.
    The story's tone is really bizarre, it's very dark and edgy at times but will then jump right back into sonic's normal humorous writing in the same scene, but it's also extremely cheesy and rides heavily on the power of friendship themes.

    The avatar creation and customization is the highlight of this game, it provides incentive to re-run stages and try to S-rank everything.
    The general gameplay is close to generations, but with less than stellar level design, most stages are very linear and short, but can be enjoyable to replay and get better times on. I noticed a few bugs so far especially with boosting during 3D segments. Avatar stages are probably the most varied due to different weapons having different ways to propel you through the level.
    Overall I enjoyed the game but I could recommend waiting for a sale on it, it's not terrible for its $40 pricepoint but unless you're very forgiving of flawed games like myself, I would wait for it to drop a little    … Expand

Modern Sonic boost is awesome and some levels really depend on boost to get a good rank. Sonic has had a great year with Sonic Mania and now Sonic Forces, so now SEGA can just stick to the same formulas like Generations or Colors. I get where some people are saying the controls are touchy, and I see where they are getting it from, but when I died from controls, it was only because I was still exploring and that I accidentally pressed a button. I even laughed when I died because I went to fast or was just clumsy. In Conclusion, this is a great game, and GOTTA GO FAST!… Expand

    Sonic Forces is one of the best games I've ever played. It's a step forward in everything. It has great graphics, nice story, Classic Sonic is back, it has car physics, and has nice gameplay and voice acting. Roger Craig Smith has never done a better acting on Sonic before. It deserves the love it gets from everyone.

    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.
