Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted to give this game a chance despite some of the reviews that are out there. There were both good and bad things about this game. Pros: I ended up getting the bonus edition of the game because it came with the Shadow prequel episode and free DLC costumes for your Sonic avatar. Plus, it comes with the skin decals for your joy-con controllers - which is pretty cool. :) There were two or three levels in the game that I did have fun with. Creating your own Sonic avatar was fun. You unlock more costumes and items for your Avatar for each level you beat. Seeing your avatar interact with Sonic and team was cool, too. Kids will love creating their own avatars. I think the music is alright. There are 2 or 3 interesting songs in there that was fun to listen to. Cons: The game feels kinda unpolished and that the levels are too short and they just end abruptly. Just when you were starting to get into the level, it just suddenly ends. Classic Sonic levels felt the most unpolished. The physics and gameplay of Classic Sonic felt stiff compared to his gameplay in Sonic Generations - which was better. As for Modern Sonic and the Avatar character controls, they also feel a bit stiff, too. There were a lot of automated sections where the game just plays the levels for you. I wouldn't mind the automated sections if there weren't very many of them, but it was never THIS extensive in modern Sonic games. The story was kinda lackluster. Something happens to Sonic at the beginning of the game, but it doesn't last long, and the story just treats the situation as it's no big deal. They could have done so much more with the new villain, but they didn't. Infinite didn't really have a good backstory in the prequel in episode Shadow. When you learn about his backstory, it's really not that great. Plus, you don't know what happens to the villain at the end because the story just doesn't really explain it. If given more time, the story could have been very interesting. Besides Dr. Eggman and the new villain Infinite, you see 4 other returning villains, but you only end up fighting 2 of them. Final Thoughts: Overall, this game had the potential to be a good game, it just wasn't fully realized or polished enough. These flaws were what kept the game from being really great. So, it's pretty much an average or mediocre game. I still got some enjoyment out of it, but at the same time I still felt disappointed with it. Like I said, it's a mixed bag for me. I'll still play the game to unlock more costumes and stuff for my avatar. I'll also replay the levels and do a speedrun of the game. At least that will be kinda fun since there are people who love to do speedruns of video games. If you're a Sonic fan and your curious about it, go ahead and try out the game. If you're unsure, just rent it to see if you will like it or not.

Sonic Forces offers a lot of fast pace gameplay zooming through levels pretty quick. Gameplay is smooth but could use more story content to make it better. The price tag is great for this game but it may not be for everyone who’s looking to put hours into the story. Overall good purchase for a decent Sonic game.

I havent played a Sonic game in years and actually wasnt much of a fan of the series but this game was a great price during the holiday sales so I couldnt say no! It's actually a pretty good game and I think fans of the series will agree.

A lot of people don’t like it but I enjoyed this game, it was fun for me, but it seems the story ended pretty fast whis is the only downside for me, aside from that it is a decent game to buy

I bought this game during the black Friday sales as a fun game to play on my switch. I have Zelda, Mario, and Mario cart but still love sonic. I think this is a fun and great game and the price is good.

This game, albeit short, was quite fun. It gave me enough of a challenge, but not too much. It could've been way better, but it was quite fun for what it was. It had a few issues, such as the level design being weird sometimes, and lots of bugs. A lot of the levels were shorter than they should've been, such as Null Space, which you spend less than 2 minutes in. Overall, however, I thought it was good for the price I got it, which was a sale.

Presentation is good, graphics are fine, music is mostly good. Gameplay is very mixed. Enjoyable but has faults. Short as well. Can't go wrong if looking for a budget game.

This is a fun albeit different 3D Sonic game! Worth the money indeed, $40 is perfect. The game is good but not great!

Daughter loved it. Looked great in high def. Great new version. Did not take her long to beat it, though.

Game is fast paced with lots of action. Was a little hard for my young son but I had fun with it.

The game gets better as you play it. Looks good and the music is surprisingly good! Lots of content! Many hours of gameplay.

Sonic Forces Bonus Edition for Nintendo Switch is overall a good game and I enjoy playing after a few hours of play. Story seems interesting that involved with some new characters. The game play is very much like the old Sonic games with running and jumping around from beginning to end. Graphic is very nice. Fun feature is that a player can create a personal avatar. I'd recommend this game to everyone whether he/she is a fan or not.

Sonic my kids love it and play it everyday got it on sale for 20 bucks!! worth it!

Sonic has many different iterations and this one follows in the vain of unleashed and generations. Its been compared to guitar hero only pushing the right buttons at the right time. Sliding, dodging, jumping and turning at all the right moments to string together a blisteringly fast S rank is so fun and rewarding.

I really wanted to like this game, especially with the strong record of games in the series as of late. But this game just doesn’t feel finished. It’s very clunky and missing a lot of features. The way classic Sonic handles is garbage, especially considering how beautifully he handled in Mania. A lot of the levels feel bland or uninspired as well. I really enjoyed the modern Sonic levels and the custom charachter levels to an extent. The music, as always,is great and makes the bad parts more tolerable. Though I was really disappointed in the exclusion of the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic.Overall, it’s not the wrost Sonic game, but it’s far from the best.

Fun game for the kids, got it on black friday sale for a great price.

Easy to learn, fun game to play with friends, graphics are good

I don't understand the complaints. Frankly, it's Sonic kind of the way Sonic's always been, but this time with the ability to play as an avatar. Nonsensical story aside, this is a fun romp for Sonic fans.

If you’re a Sonic fan, it’s a title worth owning. It’s a great game to have and the portability on the Switch makes it better. Comes with joy-con skins.

I got this game for 25 on Black Friday. The game is decent for 25 bucks but not worth the 40 standard price. You boost a lot in the game and is great if your a collector to pick it up for 20 to 25 bucks.
