    Precisava de ser mais longo. A história despacha o vilão principal no final, e ficamos sem saber o que lhe aconteceu. E acaba aqui? Sem continuação? Sega, por favor.

    jogo é extremamente divertido, as musicas são otimas, as fases são muito daora, mas ele peca em seu tamanho, sendo possivel zerar em 3 horas

    This game barely reaches fun. While enjoyable, the game has a clear lack of direction and has little to no personality, been just a recopilation of stuff you already know but way worse.

    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

    Does It Really Deserve The Good Reviews? There's No Level Design Bad Story And No Super Sonic Boss Fight. And They Completely Ruined Tails's Character Too!. And Also Why Is Super Sonic DLC It Should Be In The Base Game! Yeah Because Sega "FORCED" Classic Sonic In Forces Witch Isn't The Worst Thing In The World But They Messed Up him too!. I Mean Who Made This Mistake...?

    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.

Poor stages, poor 3d platforming, and the plot was beyond boring. 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

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

    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

    Honestly, this game is a 7/10 but I'm giving it a 10 just to annoy the Colors fans who think their game is sooo much better when they share many of the same flaws

    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

    I remember being so excited for this game in 2017. When i finished it my first time, i actually quite enjoyed it (I was 14). However, going back, forces strips the series to its bare basic traits, making all of the characters forget everything they learned in the past 15 games. Worst one being Tails.

    While the gameplay is nothing special for modern sonic and the avatar, Classic Sonic was absolutely terrible. And it sucks, because the team showed us how they can do it right a few years earlier with Generations. Basically, Please avoid buying this game at full price at all costs.    … Expand

    Up there with The worst GAMES of all time. Never mind Sonic games. It is literally one of the worst, jankiest, and most unplayable games I have ever witnessed.

    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 sucks. Through and through. Awful level design, bad controls, terrible story, 2 hour run time. The only redeeming factors are that the speedruning is decently fun, the character creator is pretty great, the music is good (like always), and the visuals are okay. Overall though, terrible game

    This game is the text book example of being lazy. I can understand this was Sonic Teams first game on 8th Generation Hardware, but I have to be fair in my review and this game just doesn't meet expectations. The levels are lifeless and bland due to the level design feeling inorganic, and blocky. The art design is very boring, leaving the visuals washed out.

The levels are lifeless and bland due to the level design feeling inorganic, and blocky. The art design is very boring, leaving the visuals washed out. I can see what they we're going for with the games visual direction. Eggman taking over the world though isn't shown very well throughout the levels. The characters are all bad to play, and will complete levels in less then a minute. Classic Sonic was not needed for the game, and the Avatar, while cool you can make your own character, it's still too restrictive to be fun. The game's biggest fault is it's story. The story is poorly written and paced, all the characters are out of character, and don't take the events seriously. Lastly, the game is too short, only being 2/1 Hours long, which is too short for a Sonic game. I feel like Sonic Team could of done really good, if not held back by the low budget. Please do not buy this game.… 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.
