    Sega is no stranger towards showing their appreciation to the Sonic fans out there. Just look at titles like Generations and Mania. Both games remade/remixed levels from all across the series long history, serving as history lessons and nostalgia trips.

Both games remade/remixed levels from all across the series long history, serving as history lessons and nostalgia trips. Forces continues the trend of loving on the Sonic community, but does so in a much different way. It may use Generations' main hook of having two Sonics from different time periods, but the levels are all original. The real treat here is that one can create their own original character to fight alongside the blue blur and his pals. For the first time ever one can truly be a part of the Sonic universe.

    The character creation system is a wonderful new system and hopefully one of the series new staples. You can choose which animal you want to be, each of which has their own special abilities, and there are a wealth of cosmetic option available to you by beating stages and completing optional side-objectives. You can even pick your own weapon powers. You get to play as your custom character at regular points throughout the game as a key player in the story. The other levels are broken up by sections where you play as either modern or classic Sonic.

    Graphically, the game is stunning. It's vibrant, bright, and oh so colorful. Really a treat for the eyes. The voice acting is good, but some of the actors feel like an odd pairing with their characters as their voice work is much too serious for the appearance we see onscreen. The story itself is fine and introduces us to a new villain, but much like the infamous Sonic '06, it's incredibly awkward and even a little uncomfortable when it tries to be serious. It's hard as heck to not be thrown off when a talking, bright, red echidna to talk about another character getting tortured. Especially when a chili dog joke follows just minutes after. It's just odd to see some dark stuff happening in this kind of game.

    The 3D entries in the Sonic series have always had a rough go of things. However, things have been turning around ever since the release of Colors. That trend continues here. This is some of Sonic's finest 3D gameplay yet and the best controls I've experienced in the series thus far. There are still those bullcrap moments that have plagued the 3D Sonic games since '06, such as careening offscreen to your death for seemingly no reason and a ridiculous and cheap final boss battle, but those are much more rare than in previous games. The level design is pretty great with branching paths and those hidden red rings. Whatever style of gameplay one could want from a Sonic game, it's in forces. 2D levels, 3D levels, platforming, and my oh my is there speed. It's got just about the perfect balance of all three. There's also a healthy amount of content and quite a bit of replay value.

    Simply put, Forces is a real treat and one heck of a platformer. It shows Sonic Teams' desire to move away from the mistakes of their past. They also once again say thanks to the fanbase by allowing them to create their those original characters they dreamed up in their heads and bring them to life onscreen. After all, what super-fan hasn't wanted to ball around with Sonic? Forces continues the series uphill climb and may even win over some new supporters. It could even pull back in some of the former ones. Whatever the case, I can say that I was largely pleased with it.    … Expand

    the game has three types of gameplay the best for me was the custom character, has several alternative paths and many items to customize
    The game has extra acts and you can also play with Shadow the hedgehog

    7/10, + 1 for the decent music.

    What Sega really need to do is get their next game right, they're beginning to get left behind by the gaming market due to people having (usually accurate) low expectations for a new game (except for Mania).

The soundtrack is amazing, with blends of modern electronic, industrial, and retro synth/chiptune. Also, for the first time ever, people can actually immerse themselves into this cheese-tastic "war" story. You can create your own character (serious or ridiculous) and get dumped into the middle of an all out battle for survival similar to that awesome Saturday morning cartoon. Sure there are a lot of "on rails" sections, and some of the game has moments where it plays itself, but Sonic has been style over substance anyway. Stop with all of the harshness, and enjoy the game for what it is, a dumb, campy, cartoony action game. If you go in with no expectations or preconceptions, you will more than likely enjoy this game. I have easliy put in over 20 hours trying to collect everything, and all of these issues that people are having are not as common as you'd think. There have only been a handful of times where the controls derped out on me, and one or two clipping issues where I fell through the edge of a platform for whatever reason. The game is being patched, and Sega seems to be putting this one in the limelight, with free DLC (new episode with 3 stages that give some backstory to characters, and cosmetic stuff, including SANIC shirts. SEGA EMBRACED THE MEME!!!), and possible more that will add more to this new world of Sonic.It's only 30-40 dollars, not a full priced triple-A title. there are other games that are asking more for much less content. ($30 for a VR fishing game in FF 15.... seriously?) I can't force anyone to play this, but know that it is NOT as bad as people say. I have a love/hate relationship with Sonic games, and this one, where I had very little interest in, won me over big time after playing it myself.… Expand

Classic Sonic fans are better off playing Sonic Mania, meaning this game will only appeal to modern sonic fans anyway. combine that with his superfluous role in the plot, and the game would be better off replacing all of his levels with Tails levels instead.

    one caveat to this review: I'm not sure I would have liked the game as much as I did, if I had access to Mario Odyssey instead. Sonic Forces is a great platformer for the PS4, where it competes with Knack. however, on other systems, you may have better options available.    … Expand

    Sonic forces is a lot like Sonic Colors to me. But better and worse for different reasons. Lets start with the gameplay.

He can actually turn while going fast and this warrants there being no drift, although I think they should have kept it for tighter turns where boost pads are usually used or sonic just auto turns. The only complaints I have with Modern Sonic is his jump is slightly odd feeling to me, more stiff than the other games, and I also think the level design in his stages was WAY too linear and short, but that goes for most of the stages. Besides the Classic ones. Next, the Avatar. The Avatar is like a modern Sonic with worse controls, a worse jump, and lower speeds with no boost. Yet still somehow enjoyable. Guess it has some charm to it as you get to play as your own character. The level design for the Avatar is better than the Modern Sonic stages. but still short and pretty linear. The amount of customization for the Avatar is very impressive and fun to mess around with. Last and very much least, Classic Sonic. To put it shortly: he'es meh. His controls are better and worse than generations for different reasons. But the dropdash is cool, I guess. I would give the gameplay a 6.5/10

    Next: the story. It's great! Finally an actual story that isn't just a bunch of crappy "jokes" and cringe. My one complaint is the way Tails is portrayed. He's a **** **** Oh and Infinite's backstory was WEAK. So I would give the story a 8/10

    Finally, the music. Hit or miss! I personally liked most of the soundtrack and loved a select few of the songs, and FINALLY LYRICS AGAIN in a sonic game! Missed them. But I also miss Crush 40. I really love the theme Fist Bump! It reminds me of Sonic Heroes. But still, it's subjective. I would give the music a 9/10.

    Final Score: 7.5/10 (rounded to 8). The game is good, but nothing special. Feels like a test for future games more than a full on game.    … Expand

    I thought Sonic Forces was a great game.

The character creation is a really well developed part of the game, including specific character traits and a seemingly endless array of unlockable outfits and weapons. The weapons were a bit strange, but it added a unique dynamic to the character stages. Certain stages had challenges that used certain weapon types to advance or collect a special item. There were many platforming levels for the fans of the classic games, and the tag team stages were incredibly well made with unique challenges and requiring you to use both Sonic and your character in a careful balance to reach the end. The final boss...I won't spoil it, but Sonic Forces is worth playing to reach the end. It has quite a bit of replay value to explore the uses of the other character types. It's worth trying g out if you like Sonic or any other platformer.… Expand

    The gameplay is kinda confusing but the game overall is a nice time killer when you are really bored. The boss battles are very good and the story itself is interesting. The avatar customisation is good.

    Es un gran juego pero con idea que tienen potencial que si lo hubieran aprovechado maximo esas ideas pudo haberse convertido entre los mejores juegos de Sonic.

    It could be better for an reason. The gameplay that i heard of sounds not that well for all consoles but the sonic fans love it. I think ive found the right answer. The game only took 1 year to make and that makes sense cuz i think the sonic fans wanted a long and more lower action sonic game instead of an dramatic game that you can finish in 3 hours.

    Avatar has good controls, levels are great awesome music at worst good level design the wispons add a lot to the levels and exploration.

    Modern Sonic levels control well some straightforward level design but some good open design and good music
    Classic sonic doesn't control the best but the levels work around it he also has the least amount of levels. Okay music I like the techno-sounding music with the synths level design is okay to good.
    The art style is amazing I really like the destroyed art style and the Eggman themed stuff with gray, white, black, and purple looks beautiful    … Expand

    Bom, até que é um jogo bom, eu me diverti com ele, mas ele não é perfeito, nem o melhor jogo do Sonic, é um jogo fácil, não me deparei com nenhum bug, a história é rasa, mas da para passar uma belas horas com ele, principalmente se você o platinar.

    Sonic forces is a very mixed title but there is a catch this is my opinion and in my opinion sonic forces is a good game

    PROS:the modern sonic game play is very engaging and fun to play and hit enemies the avatar is like sonic but feels better and has no boost the wispons are very fun to use and the avatars grapple mechanic is very fun to use oh and the sound track CONS:classic    Sonic forces is a very mixed title but there is a catch this is my opinion and in my opinion sonic forces is a good game

    PROS:the modern sonic game play is very engaging and fun to play and hit enemies
    the avatar is like sonic but feels better and has no boost the wispons are very fun to use and the avatars grapple mechanic is very fun to use oh and the sound track

    CONS:classic sonic is in the game
    classics sonic physics suck so if you are coming of of mania well good luck
    classic sonic is the equivalent of terrible game play level design in this game isn't that good at times
    and modern sonic's movement is a bit stiff

    Over all sonic forces is a pretty solid game and therefore I give it an 8 out of 10    … 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.
