Not quite as devoid of content or glitchy as I expected, but this is one of the most extreme cases of the "Hold a directional button and sometimes jump" Sonic stereotype. The most challenging part was trying to make a character that isn't the ugliest-looking thing in the series (I didn't succeed at this).

overhated, it's not that bad but i'd rather play something else

nunca gostei muito de sonic, joguei alguns de wii quando criança e só o de lobisomem me marcou mesmo, fora isso eu cagava pra franquia por ser meio "igual", você corre bem rápido com o sonic, e às vezes outros sonics apareciam, um vermelho, outro laranja, enfim, nada me interessa muito.

esse jogo só foi cair na minha mão porque ele foi jogo de algum mês na plus durante 2020, sair de casa não era uma opção, então esse jogo calhou como um passatempo, e caiu bem, talvez ele seja objetivamente ruim (ele é meio odiado aparentemente), e de novo, eu não ligo muito pra sonic e minhas referências da franquia são aqueles sonic com espada do wii, logo esse jogo foi divertido na época. Provavelmente se jogar outra vez seja diferente, mas acho difícil, ps plus anual ta 300 reais.

This game was a lot of fun, even though the story was barely there lol. My biggest complaint was honestly the 2D levels; they really took the wind out of my sails. If I wanted to play a 2D Sonic game, I’d play a 2D Sonic game

Sonic forces is poopy butt and I mean that with the utmost sincerity.


What is there to say about Sonic Forces that hasn't been said before, this game is just plain terrible. I don't think there is even a single idea in this game that is at all original, everything in this game is just recycled from prior games. The game is so easy and short that it is one of the most forgettable in the series despite being so bad. Creating your own avatar is kind of cool but there is just no depth in the customization to it that the feature just fails. The avatar sucks to play as, modern sonic is basically just boost to win, and classic sonic feels abhorrent in this game. Not even the music is good, and the story is even worse. The best thing I can say about this game is that some of the levels look decent.

"Im NoT WeEeEeEaAk!!!!!!!" is one of the character motives of all time






also a friend took a hour to beat the final boss.

This was my first sonic game when it came out and I liked it, what it proposed, and what it introduced, but yeah the level of quality compared to older titles is definitely saddening. Animations seem stiff, the controls definitely feel stiff (at least for classic sonic) The way speed was portrayed felt fake honestly, the way the avatar and modern sonic would walk slowly AND THEN BOLT REALLY FAST just doesn't even feel remotely good 💀. It's definitely not as fast as generations I think at least. The variety in level design is nonexistent. Yeah sure, we have different places, and obviously not every level is the same, but it still doesn't hold a candle to predecessors. Also classic Sonics control is all about momentum, and how to be rewarded from it, although it seems they tried to replicate it, the genesis titles are still vastly superior, and mania was amazing, though it was made by a different team, and made in a different engine entirely. Classic feels slow, clunky, and comparing it to the older titles, pretty much almost no momentum. I don't really like the way classic controls in generations either btw. Although I like Infinite design and concept, the way it was portrayed in forces was laughable I think. Episode Shadow was supposed to cover the mysteries as to why Shadow is in forces, why Infinite exists, and what the phantom ruby is, but IT. DOESN'T. We don't see how Eggman got the ruby, as he supposedly already had it, we don't know why Infinite and his team was working with Eggman. Supposedly the reason Infinite became who he is was, because of his friends being mercilessly killed? I think? by Shadow? But we don't see that either. I think all of these past points were just talked about in a small text blurb, or not at all. In terms of writing it's not good. The premise had potential, but overall just fumbled and stumbled :((. People tend to think the reason Infinite is the way he is is because of Shadow injuring him and hurting his ego, but it was supposed to be the thing mentioned earlier, but we SEE ONE and not the other, which is why it's more memorable than the ladder. Writers learn the concept "show don't tell" very early as it's very important as a writing tool. You can't just skip over entire villain backstories and then witness him get beaten down, because the thing that we are seeing is him getting beaten down, so we think that's the way he became Infinite. Also don't get me started on the whole "with Sonic defeated thing" 💀💀💀 We didn't even get to see how any of his friends would've reacted towards that, we just see the after math, and even then no emotion. The closest we got to that was with Tails, but then again Tails' character was just messed up because of this game, and had to be rewritten to be consistent in Sonic Frontiers. Sorry for this long rant, you can tell that I really like the games potential, but it fails. This is why I think it's a fundamentally bad game instead of (funny forces joke here). I genuinely see some bad things here, but I'm not the one to tell you what you can and cannot like, I just started to dislike it overtime is all

Erm... what the sigma, I cannot believe I actually got excited for this game at some point. So uninspired, bland, boring, generic, AHHHH WHAT HAPPENED

I normally sit and watch the credits to pay respect to whoever worked on a game or a movie because they spent their valued time on crafting something, a product or a piece of art for my own personal enjoyment doesn't matter how good or bad I will sit and wait until it's finished, Sonic Forces is the first time I got UP OUT OF MY CHAIR to LEAVE during the credits such a bastardization of a series I'd tend to really enjoy.

Not the worst game in this franchise but pretty much the low point for me. It's like 2 hours of levels that pretty much boil down to "just run forward" and a story that doesn't even try.

I can't say I really agree with the modern re-evaluation that a lot of the 2000's games were secretly underrated masterpieces but even they have more going on than this.

i've always wanted to make a sonic oc

GooeyScale: 35/100

Realistically it’s not that bad but this games whole existence just pisses me off. I hate you Sonic Forces.

This game was my first exposure to Persona 5 so it did something good for me

Things i liked: making my character. I actually found it quite fun to make a sonic oc! Maybe bc i'm a furry so i could just make a sonic version of my sona, but yeah i think its a fun thing that should come back.
Things i didn't like:
the gameplay- dear god sega is it really hard to come up with fun gameplay that isnt "run in a straight line and hit a button"
i could only tolerate this game bc i was in a sonic phase and enjoyed consuming sonic content.
the story- if sonic wants to be darker and edgier that's fine but the tone needs to stay consistent. Sonic games have gone darker in tone in the past but they don't try to wisecrack and make dumb jokes the whole time. also the main villain is like stupid and his reason for villiany is almost comical. also why did they bring back old villains it adds nothing to the story. this is not a crossover or a celebration of the series put chaos back in his box.
this game is a chore and a half and i love you sega but dear lord give me a break.

Why do people like these games genuinely

I didn’t enjoy the game to much and I finished the whole game under 1 hour

i just dont care for sonic games.

This game's story is genuinely cringeworthy and the gameplay + level design is basically non-existent because the game is constantly playing by itself with no inputs required from the player.
It looks good and runs well with banger soundtrack to boot, but that's about it.

Isso me faz lembrar pq eu não gosto de jogos do sonic

They really made a shitty editor and Sonic fans loved it.

If anything the potential it had makes the outcome of the game more insulting.


I wanna meet the guy who wrote the Sand Hill line. I wanna find 'em and I wanna meet 'em.

Why did I complete this game?
Did I try to prove something?
Have I gone insane?
Im I real?

infinite was cool but man this game rlly gave us nothing
