    I do not care what anyone says about this game, I love it. I can't tell why, but its just satisfying to play, the fact there are 30 levels is amazing (33 if you count dlc), you barely go through the same levels.

    My only complain is that there are way too many automatic sections, I'm not talking about ingame events/cutscenes mid level, but like the loop de loop ones, where you dont have to press anything for 2 secs. It is annoying but thats about it
    All Sonic games are already automated to death so it doesnt really matter.
    Classic sonic's physics are not THAT bad, although the speed limit is annoying

    Im still giving this game a 10 because of its vibe.    … Expand

    This is my reviewer as someone who speedruns this game. This game has so many ways to be broken up with skill, and the 2D sections are actually great fun on casual and intense runs. I appreciate that Sonic keeps all of his momentum while jumping, which is something shamefully removed in Sonic Frontiers.

    It's not as good as Sonic Frontiers in any way, but I still think it's okay.

    Graficos bons , musicas boas, jogabilidade foi simplificada retirando alguns movimentos o que é uma pena pra valorizar o gameplayer e fases muito curtas.

    This game is genuinely a fun game and I think people hate on this game too much just because it was a 6 year wait between generations but for someone like me who just barely got into sonic this game is fun asf while some levels can feel short the game has a consistent pacing and I think it's a very good game for beginners into the sonic franchise

    That's a great game of Sonic. The Avatar stage works well and has a nice story. But is not so good like Unleashed, but still a great game.

    the game is good, the graphics are great, I liked the game, especially when you create your character, only bad thing is that this game the stages are short, ah and this game having only 1 enemy is a big lie the game has 13 enemies then you can have fun playing this game

    This game is very underrated. I do not get why the sonic fanbase is discisive on this game. The music is great. The game has great controls and the villians are great as well. Also the critics gave mystery dungeon a bad score but give fifa a 84.

    People say this game is horrible, the worst sonic game, yadda yadda. But, that's not true. It's actually really good. In fact, sometimes I think this game is like Sonic Colors 2. Mostly cause they have the same level design, (ahem) linear. I enjoyed the music, the game-play, and the story. The physics are a meh but they don't ruin the game.

The physics are a meh but they don't ruin the game. Only once in my time playing I encountered a glitch of super classic sonic going through the ground in green hill. But I didn't care. This game is very fun. The only thing I wish was that they scrapped the custom character aspect and just had the rookie used in the trailers (Gadget, Buddy, whatever) as a new character. If you're new to modern sonic, play this. You won't regret it. (One more thing actually.) The shortness of the game isn't that bad either. I mean, certain games are short too but that doesn't stop me from saying it sucked. A short game is better than a long game most of the time.… Expand

    The game really does revive the series in all directions after those horrendous games (you know what i mean), and is always entertaining. The framerate is great, the stages are great and the inclusion of the fan favorite character creator and its stages is brilliant. Is worth its £25 price tag.

    This game was not what I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty good, and has its moments, but overall, it's just, good.

    The level design isn't the best, but neither are the environments. They feel uninspired. First, Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Death Egg return. Yes, for some reason, Eggman gets the bright idea to rebuild the damn Death Egg. And the new environments are, for the most part, uninspired. Mystic Jungle could've been cool, but it's not really. You don't even explore the casinos. One area is literally just called City. Metropolis is honestly really cool, though. I got Mirror's Edge vibes as well as Metropolis Zone (Sonic 2) and Grand Metropolis (Sonic Heroes) vibes.

    The music is average. The story is honestly pretty cool, not on the level of the stories of Adventure 2 or Unleashed, but still very good and pretty strong.

    Overall, the game is, good. It for sure has it's flaws, but you could find enjoyment out of this game. It's only $40, so I recommend picking it up and playing it.    … Expand

    Me encanta, es uno de los mejores Sonic 3D que se han echo. Muy bonito de ver, Muy fluido , muy rapido, y niveles cortos y muy intensos. Ademas que las 3 mecánicas de juego le dan mucha variedad
    Muy recomendado por mi parte.

    In my opinion the game is very fun and great to pass the time, very good acts, with beautiful graphics and an expetacular soundtrack
    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

    It's business as usual for dear old Sonic. Which isn't necessarily a very good thing. [Jan 2018, p.82]

    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 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.
