Sonic Forces Reviews

One word to describe this game is "nothing" The only positive thing I can say about this game is that it runs as its supposed to. Everything else is a complete disappointment even in comparison to some of this franchises contemporaries. I went into this game with a completely open mind, even though I was already aware that I was in for a mediocre experience. I looked for ANYTHING to latch onto, whether the story, the gameplay, the characters, or even the novelty of the oc, but all of it just left me feeling nothing. This may sound dramatic but I felt absolutely nothing during the credits of this game. I couldn't even feel angry at how bad this game is, just nothing. You see how im repeating the word 'nothing' a lot here? Yeah. That's the whole game. This game isnt even what I would consider your normal 'bad.' Its not your sonic boom or sonic 06 bad where its breaking half the time and can tell the game is half baked. At least in those you could tell they were trying to DO something. You could see the vision they had and the ideas that just weren't fully developed. There was at least a foundation of a game that showed that the developers tried to do something innovative. There is NONE of that in forces. What you see is what you get. They played it safe and it left us with the most bare bones sonic game ever. Even the stupidity of this game cant bring any life to it. I'm not a long time sonic fan, but i have played a decent amount of the games so I can say this. All the whimsy, charm, and fun that made sonic so great was stripped out to make an albeit, polished game, but one that feels so commercial that I wouldn't be shocked that AI could make something similar to this. This feels like a very hateful review but its just sad that a franchise built of so much charm and personality somehow released a game that once again, leaves me with nothing. This being said, sonic is on the up and up with its releases following this, so I can forget about all about this garbage with a smile on my face. 3/10 cause the visuals and music goes hard.

Kinda Underrated the main problem I have is that the game is really short so only buy it if it is really cheap on a sale but it is kinda fun. Fun story the 5 years ago I got this game I have never beaten him and that stayed the same for 5 years and then when I got the game on steam recently I finally beat him yeah.

Sonic Force's music, visuals, and stylistic UI are great, but the (mostly) uninspired level design and very short run time bring the game down heavily. Lots of unused potential here.

The physics feel like someone made generations into a mobile game, but tried 3 different ways and failed all of them The story is so cringe its funny, and the levels each take about as long as a challenge level from generations (so far), with a lot of weird automation. Lots of death pits have hidden springs so you don't oopsie, but then some sections you easily slip off the waterslide and instadie. Don't worry though, unless you have recently experienced many aneurysms and been the victim of a lobotomy you will have to try *very* hard to not end up with an S, or at the very least an A. The custom character never looks quite right, and after each level completion you have to sit through 7 new beanies unlocked. Cool idea but feels incredibly forced. All in all, this game would've been decently competent and funny if it was indie, but it's a first party product so kinda ass, buy it on sale if you want to know what it takes to be infinite

They wasn't lying, this game is horrible. From the get-go the writing is flat, bland or straight up incorrect for the character. The boss battles are laughably easy, even on hard mode, the camera movements are slow and clunky, acceleration is frustrating, the immersion is nonexistent. The game is basically play level, watch poorly written 30 second cutscene, try to get good rank. You may as well watch a playthrough on Youtube if you want context of the war before reading the IDW comic series. This just isn't it. A huge wasted potential.

To be honest, the game itself is quite nice but it's too damn short!!! I was hoping that this game can play for up to at least 5hrs+ cuz from what i can see from the pictures feels massive, but turns out to be soooooo disappointing. Furthermore the controls are weird and quite laggy. Lastly, I didn't realize that the Shadow "DLC" is shorter than any game I have ever played. It feels like a glimpse and then it's over......So, my point of view is 5.5/10.

Sonic Forces... What is there to say which hasn't been said already... The Difficulty is inconsistent, sometimes it'll be piss easy then it will hurl actually bullshit at you. The bosses start off okay: Zavok hits the ground but you aren't meant to avoid that which is strange Metal Sonic is boring repeated action Infinite is a copy of Metal Sonic just with new moves and Eggman... Has 0 telegraphing for some reason... (why wasn't chaos a boss) The story is dogshit and makes no sense and regress character beyond their first appearance, 0 tonal consistency either. Music is bad except like Infinite and Fist Bump...

This game feels too short not very long an not worth 39.99 price tag despite everything else this game doesn't link up with Sonic Mania in anyway possible Sonic Mania is it's own story despite the forces ending etc (No Spoilers here) i do recommend buying this on sale though not full priced from what its worth

this game isn't exactly BAD, it's just not good. forces is the definition of mid. i both enjoy and dislike some parts, but find myself having little to no opinion on most aspects.

People acting like forces is the Anti Christ when there's worse games out there. There's even worse sonic games than this and I'm not even talking about 06. Yes this game is very stupid. But it plays fine. I wouldn't say its worth 40 dollars, but its not unplayable. I know five year old me would have been very happy about the custom sonic friend creator.
