Sonic Forces

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

For some demonic reason I managed to enjoy this mother ****** game. It has a LOT of issues but somehow I like it. It has a really bad and like an employee ran out of ideas story because it is not good at all. A solid 7.

Look, I know this games REEKS of lost potential, but to me it was pretty enjoyable. I know that it took Sega 4 years to develop this game, but if they focused on the actual game and not just the visuals, I'm sure it would be a 10 out of a 10.

Eh sure this game has good music and visuals and some stages are fun to speedrun but most levels have bad level design, Tedious to fully playthrough The story is alright but usually sonic games have incredible stories so it makes this game seem not special its been very trendy as of late to hate on this game but its just kinda bad but not VERY bad as people say

What the hell happened here??? Sonic Team is for whatever reason so obsessed with trying to make every Sonic game different from the last. You had a great thing going with Generations, and after trying to reinvent the Sonic series with Lost World and Boom, they go back to the boost formula that people actually liked...only to make the game 10x worse. The controls are downright horrible. What should be simple platforming in the 2d sections is now straight up clunky and frustrating. The 3d sections mostly consist of boosting in a straight line while using the homing attack a few times. Barely any alternate paths to take or exploration to be done. Classic Sonic did not need to be here. He was cool in Generations because it was supposed to celebrate Sonic's past, but he feels EXTREMELY out of place in this game. There is some good stuff though. The Avatar is a great concept, taking the meme of Sonic fan characters and actually putting it into the game. You don't start out with much customization options, but you unlock a TON as you progress through the game, and it's fun being able to create your own character. They also have probably the best implementation of the wisps, allowing you to make use of them without breaking the pace of the game. But the avatar still suffers from the same problems as the rest of the game: terrible controls, shallow and boring level design, and overall lame gameplay. The bosses are mid at best, and it's a shame we don't get to fight Shadow or Chaos. The story is okay, but very underdeveloped and overall seems very rushed together. Overall: don't waste your money. Go play a good sonic game, like mania, generations, or the Genesis classics.
