Profound commentary on imperialism and the very nature of political revolution
if you asked a monkey to either smack a typewriter until it wrote the complete works of william shakespeare OR play sonic forces once, i think it would pick the typewriter
y’all I’m starting to think that Sonic isn’t that good of a franchise
Although the game itself wasn't exactly great, it's an absolute blast to riff on. Perfect for something to play in one night while getting drunk, laughing at it, and singing Fist Bump loudly at 4 a.m. for the neighbors to hear.
I used to consider Sonic Generations 3DS as my least favorite Sonic game. It was automated, boring, and overall not really that fulfilling as a game. I must apologise to Generations 3DS, because this is genuinely one of the most BORING experiences I’ve ever had with a video game. Just nothing about Forces (at least compared to Generations, Colors, and Unleashed) is good. The level design isn’t fun in the slightest, the controls feel both loose AND stiff at the same time, and overall this game just feels misguided. There were lots of good ideas here, but they unfortunately went to waste in this shallow, bland, and budget game.
Who designed this? More fun in the beginning but once they start trying to throw you curveballs and make the levels more difficult, all that ends up happening is they ruin the game's forward momentum, and it makes the player frustrated. Boss fights are poorly designed and the story makes no sense. I like decking my character out in swag though, if only ironically. Just a poor excuse of a game overall.
Sonic Unleashed and Generations are banger games that I can probably replay at a drop of a hat and still have a great time, I'm not the biggest fan of Colors but the series did kind of need it at the time and I can understand why many people love it, I'm just more of a fan of the DS version.
Sonic Forces is a different story on the other hand, for Generations, they were able to improve upon the already incredible foundation Unleashed had. Forces feels like a FUCKING MASSIVE step down in comparison, Sonic and Classic Sonic actually somehow control like shit, same goes for the avatar, and the levels feel so underbaked, short, and don't even leave an impression on you unlike the other three boost games. And Mania came out the same year which makes this game look worse in comparison. The game is short as hell but so is Generations and that game was able to be fun as hell and leave a great impression. The soundtrack is kinda good but some of the songs are funny to me, especially since they come from this game. The story also sucks and is missed potential as well, they reuse some stages from past games but it had the potential to do something cool with it but instead its just feels thrown together. The story needed better writers in order for the story to reach its potential, there's this video I listened to at work call Sonic Forces Rewritten and its a very interesting watch and it shows how story and gameplay styles could have been handled, even being back the alternate perspectives formula from the Adventure games into play with some elements from Heroes generally could have been interesting, even expanding upon bringing back more past locations from other games but with them being taken over by Dr. Eggman could be very interesting to see. But instead we get this half baked, piece of shit that is worthless and straight up fundamentally flawed. At least '06, for as shit as that was, there was some great ideas and it would later give us Project '06, which slaps. At least Sonic and the Secret Rings gave us this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0k7tCxylWo . At least I can make fun of Shadow the Hedgehog for how fucking stupid nearly every aspect of that game is and it at least controls fine. At least Sonic 4 Episode I.... uh....emm....uh.. I honestly don't know.
I actually never want to touch this shit ever again.

It's hysterical how Sonic 06 apologists have a hard-on for making this game out to be the spawn of Satan when it's still not as bad as the one they defend, get a grip guys lmao
One star for music and one star for customization
This was a fun 3D Sonic entry. fast paced, as expected, but where you get to customize your own character and play through the story alongside your favoirte Sonic characters. Lots of replayability and the controls handle well. I finished the story, but still need to 100% all of the levels.
when this came out i defended it. at the time it was the only boost game i had played and i thought "eh its average, its playable" but then time went on and i played through the other boost games. this game stayed in the back of my mind as just that average game. after replaying it i had a much different opinion on it. so many of the levels fly by in like 2 mins yet feel like they drag on thanks to the game basically playing itself. the game is scared to let you play it and every time i tried getting out of the automation i was usually punished with death. alongside that the game is like 4 hours long, has shitty boss fights that get re used/are stolen from previous games and has a shitty story where most of the characters don't act like themselves. at the end of the day this game is pretty shit and the only enjoyment i will get out of it is the ost. it has a lot of good songs and sometimes makes me think the game is good (its not)
I don’t think sonic games are developed any more, to be honest. I think there’s a demon under SEGA HQ that gets fed the souls of interns and every 5ish years coughs up a new Sonic game (of wildly varying quality) and a banger OST.
Fist Bump is good enough to keep this from being a 1/10.

I've played some BAD Sonic games, but I've never played a boring one. I will still state that I'd play a bad game over a boring game.
This is a boring Sonic game. I don't know how you make the fastest thing alive so slow.

Eu não joguei muito jogos de Sonic, experimentei alguns e conheço a formula mas nunca de fato desbravei essa franquia a fundo, entretanto algo que eu sempre admirei dentro da franquia, é como ela se apropria de elementos populares lançados em suas respectivas epocas, fazendo com que os jogos soem familiares mas sempre tragam uma proposta muito fora da caixa, e Sonic Forces não é diferente.
Dada a data que ele saiu eu presumo que muito da ideia por trás do Forces venha do boom de filmes "evento" em especial dentro do MCU, temos a culminação de varios elementos familiares da franquia em uma unica obra, e no caso de Forces é interessante o que ele considera os pontos chave do sucesso da franquia, ele trás aquele que iniciou tudo e já se mostrou uma ideia rentavel em outros jogos mais modernos, o Sonic classico, o proprio Sonic moderno que é o que temos atualmente como o mais reconhecivel, e inusitadamente ele coloca o jogador como um personagem dentro do jogo através de um sistema de criação e customização de personagem. Fora isso em sua narrativa decolonialista, ele faz com que os vilões mais marcantes da franquia se unam, então é realmente uma guerra geracional, onde o time Sonic representa a força de resistencia contra o exercito colonizador de Eggman, e no papel isso é enorme, algo que se vende como além de um jogo tradicional do Sonic, e sim como um evento especial, porém... só no papel.
Ideias boas com uma execução que eu julguei como... preguiçosa? Eu não consegui sentir nenhum esforço para fazer esses elementos funcionarem juntos e além do esforço para isso não existe nenhuma pretensão em usar dessa ideia para ser algo marcante, é tudo como uma grande referencia vazia. Elementos funcionam separadamente, não é um desastre no quesito tecnico, mas é tão sem inspiração e sem proposito que eu não consegui sentir nada além de sono e frustração, o level design é ruim mas nem ao ponto de ser algo marcante, a narrativa é atropelada ao ponto de não causar o esboço de uma emoção, talvez se o jogo fosse pior eu teria gostado mais dele, mas ele existir ou não é irrelevante.

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.

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).
Sonic forces teases the audience with an interesting darker sonic story, cool character customiser and varied gameplay - all of which goes nowhere and fails completely- some of the most boring level design I have ever seen
Sonic forces is the most bland and boring sonic game ever. The level design consists of holding down the boost button and running in a straight line for 3 minutes.
The story while good in concept is executed very poorly. The game is very inconsistent as well, they say sonic was tortured for months but when we see him next he's still joking around.
On top of this in the main game Infinite is heavily implied to be a robot, but in the shadow dlc we find out he was a normal dude who turned evil after shadow insulted him. Speaking of infinite, he has one of the coolest designs out of all the sonic villians in my opinion, which sucks because he is so bland otherwise.
Another thing that's bland in this game is the writing, it is soooooo bad. I cringed at multiple points and overall it just left a bad taste in my mouth. The same can be said for classic sonic, the only reason he is in the game is for the filler levels and overall he just ruins the prestine nature of him in generations a little bit for me.
Also there is another continuity error with classic sonic, in this game he is referred to by tails as 'the sonic from another dimension' when this simply isn't true because it is made very clear that in generations he is simply a version of sonic from the past.
In conclusion, sonic forces is a bland boring mess of a game which makes me wish I could have the last 4 hours of my life back.

Acho longe de ser tão ruim quanto colocam. Eu entendo que pra quem acompanhou o lançamento do jogo passou por uma decepção enorme, mas comigo não tendo esse fator, eu só acho um jogo tanto faz, nada no jogo tem alma ou personalidade e carisma, e todas as fases parecem iguais, eu só não sinto nada jogando, é entediante.
Na verdade eu até preferiria que o jogo fosse realmente ruim e tivesse personalidade, eu prefiro sentir ódio do que sentir indiferença com arte, e as vezes você se diverte com coisas que são ruins mas tem personalidade, como Sonic 2006 ou Shadow the hedgehod, são jogos muito piores que esse, terríveis de se controlar, mas eles tem um carisma que te diverte e te prende de alguma forma, você sente alguma coisa, mesmo que raiva.
Pra não falar que eu não senti nada, eu passei raiva nas últimas fases, que são insuportaveis, e as fases 2D são significativamente piores que as 3D com a física estranha, até me diverti com as fases 3D, mas as 2D me impdendem de subir um pouco mais o jogo no meu conceito.

Fine
imagine if you ate this beautiful cake in 2011, and then when 2017 came around you were like "i'd love to eat that cake again." but the guy who made the cake was a shambling necromancied beast of what he used to be and just groaned in response and handed you a cake made of fingernail trimmings and baby powder. that's sonic forces.
When everything you know has come and gone
(You are at your lowest, I am rising higher)
Only scars remain of who I was
(What I find in the ashes, you lose in the fire!)
When there's no one left to carry on
(This is an illusion, open up your eyes and)
This pain (persists)
I can't (resist)
But that's what it takes to be Infinite!

Ass. Stay away from it.
I wish I could feel anything when I played this game
O Sonic moderno controla horrível em 3D, mas tem algumas exceções e as seções 2D boazinha. O Avatar é muito lento e terrível de controlar, até pegar o Drill ai ele vira o personagem mais divertido de se jogar por quebrar o jogo inteiro. O Sonic clássico é um completo lixo, não sei porque só não importaram a versão do Generations. O Shadow controla melhor que o Sonic e tem fases melhores, mesmo só tendo 3 fases.
Em resumo este jogo seria melhor se fosse Shadow Forces.

I tried so hard to enjoy sonic forces and its a real shame as somewhere i can see a somewhat decent game here with such wasted potential. The fact that it was 4 years they had to make this game and it was only about 3 hours long was a joke. And the main point of sonic never felt like it was there as the game constantly felt like it was playing itself. From stupid quick time events that have no punishment if you fail to the fact and the game is piss easy even if you play on hard difficulty. Mashing a button as well to defeat a boss isnt fun nor engaging. I remember being so hyped for this game and its a damn shame it all went to waste such as the old cast of villians being brought back. Sega should of been ashamed for releasing this one. Go play frontiers or sonic adventure 2 trust me there worth your time not this garbage
