    A solid new iteration in Sonic's series, with fun and frantic gameplay even if we would have liked more playable characters, while the new Avatars feature left us quite unimpressed.

    For the first time in years, I actually enjoyed and looked forward to going back to a Sonic game and will continue to hunt those red star rings for a while yet. But the main USP of the avatars let the side down. I really hope Sonic Team continue with the duel Sonic crossover games as they seem to be providing them with their best output in years.

    Sonic Mania is undoubtedly a tighter, more exceptional experience; Sega should really allow that team to design the levels for the next 3D release! But if you missed the 3D Sonic experience and can tolerate some bland level design and roughness, Forces is certainly a worthwhile follow-up to Generations – especially for the reduced asking price.

    Sonic Forces is a short and easy videogame, which also has a rude and imprecise control. In my opinion, nowadays there are many better alternatives than Sonic Forces on the market but it is enjoyable for kids and for all sonic fans.

    Forces continues the trend of Modern Sonic games being very average and not even an injection boost like Classic Sonic or the new customisable Avatar character can save this from being average at best.

    Sonic Forces is a mixed bag, but the bad outweighs the good. Its few bright spots - mostly in the form of classic Sonic - get dimmed by the muddled mess of the weaker elements, and the lack of content doesn't help. The game's biggest achievement is the reminder of old school Sonic's superior gameplay.

    Sonic Forces may not be the worst Sonic game ever made, but it’s close, and I don’t think the speedy blue hedgehog has many more chances to impress before gamers like myself lose all hope of him returning to his former glory.

Now, I do feel that the controls need a bit of fine tuning, and that, while not necessarily bad, the story does at times leave a lot to be desired. Even so, none of these issues have ruined my enjoyment of the game as a whole. If you liked Generations and Colors, you’ll probably enjoy this one, too!… Expand

    Sonic Forces isn't a bad game. It's not a great game either I just really enyojed at my first walkthrough. Lets first talk about the badSonic Forces isn't a bad game. It's not a great game either I just really enyojed at my first walkthrough. Lets first talk about the bad things: classic sonic is back! And he is the whorst part of the game, because his pchysics are just trash. Then the level desing its more average and its because on the level desing worked only 3 PEOPLE. But thats not all 2 of them never worked on a sonic game and the one worked on LOST WORLD! YEAH NOT GENERATIONS OR COLUORS JUST LOST WORLD! Sega liedto us, they just wanted to make money...
    The story is just dump. Srsl, a story about WAR, why??
    And the bossbattles: Shadow and Chaos were allready "killed" chaos by classic sonic and shadow by the real shadow. The best bosses in the game are probably the Zavok one and the last one.
    But now lets move to the good things:
    The music is just fantastic (besinds the Green Hill Zone music), the gameplay as Sonic and ur avatar are rlly. fun to play (well almost because Sonics jump is to icy).

    So is Forces a bad or terrible game? No, its more average    … Expand
