A decent modern Sonic game

I am a huge fan of Sonic from the Sega Genesis era even up to the ps3 and 360 Sonic Unleashed days.
First of all this game is not like Sonic Mania the masterpiece released two months before it. With this said Sonic Forces should not be discounted. I like the avatar and all the cosmetic, gear and weapon options which I unlocked all in the daily missions. Additionally, the price of the game is about right being around $30 or less. If you like 3D Sonic games this game is very playable. Just don't go in thinking it is as deep as Sonic Unleashed, Generations or Colors. Visually the characters and levels look nice and some of the music was done well to the level of say Sonic Colors or Unleashed which in my opinion have some of the best modern Sonic music. The many in-game unlockables really works well for the game. Sonic Forces creatively uses daily and weekly challenges related to wearing and using certain gear, which brought a lot of variety as well. Additionally there are challenges for completing stages within a certain time. However, I do feel the levels are short and you can blast through them and just mash "X" most of the time. Finally, this game seemed a bit like Sonic Heroes, Colors and Unleashed combined with your avatar able to use a variety of weapons as well as run, which in my opinion is very interesting. The Shadow the Hedgehog DLC was a nice bonus as well.

My kids had no complaints when they played this game. I would not call them gamers or anything, they are allowed to play only on the weekends and time is monitored. When they played the game they liked it and had fun.

Not as fun as Sonic Mania. However, its a game of its own. I'm not sure if I can recommend to pay full price for this game. However, I do recommend you to play the game. Maybe getting it at a black friday deal.

My son loved this, I bought it for him for Christmas. Yes it's great, no it's not as great as the old school side scrolling Sonic games, but that's only because it's not a side scrolling Sonic game. That's the only thing I feel that's different between modern Sonic vs old school Sonic. If your a true Sonic fan you'll love it. It's a great edition to the sonic series.

After the surprise that was Sonic Mania earlier in 2017, Sonic Forces represents an unfortunate step back to typical mediocrity for modern Sonic games. Uneven difficulty, questionable level design and pacing, and a weak create-a-character option add up to another Sonic disappointment.
Avoid this one until the price drops.

I am a sonic lover, nothing will ever take the place of the original sonic but I really like this game. Fun spin for a newer sonic.

Your typical Sonic side scrolling game with a little 3rd person play mixed in.
If you like old school Sonic this is what you want

The premise is that you can play as 3 characters: Sonic, Classic Sonic, and your avatar. Stages are too short. The level designs are not so great and the moment they get good, the stages end. The dialogue and the cutscenes are incoherent with each other. Sega could've done better with this one.

There have been far worse modern sonic games but this one definitely isn't the best either. Great music and visuals alongside a fun custom character creator. Level design is meh at best. Story is well, a sonic story.
