"The bosses are the highlight of the game". The final boss is the same from Sonic Colors but instead to be purple it is white

[supersonicguy]

None of this is good, Caddy. That's why it's called "Sonic Forces."

The sad part is that this game would've been good if the level designers from Sonic Generations and colors were designing them. Scratch that, it didn't even need that. It just needed longer levels.

Sonic Forces wasn't terrible, nor was it good. It was perhaps the worst thing a game can be: boring. A good game can keep you addicted for hours and hours, even a glitch filled nightmare can provide amusement for a while just by virtue of how awful it is. Sonic Forces is neither of these. Instead it's just a bland, boring game that in a few years only die hard fans will remember. It's not as fast as Generations, the levels aren't as wacky as Mania, the story takes itself too seriously with very little wit, classic Sonic is tacked on because Sonic Team think that'll attract the classic fans, and the controls aren't fun to use. Overall, this game is so underwhelming that the hardest thing to do in it is trying not to fall asleep.

SONIC FORCES YOU TO SLEEP

Sonic Team needs to stop making the guy the helped with the level design of Sonic Unleashed (who was the director of Sonic Generations) direct the "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games" series and bring back everyone who worked on Sonic Generations for the next game because they need to make a good 3D Sonic game since the last good 3D Sonic game was Generations.

I think people misread Caddy's question. He wasn't asking how classic made it to Modern's world, but why he was put into the game.
Classic Sonic really had no meaning to the plot of the story. Removing him wouldn't change the story at all really. It was just a means to add a character to cater to the classic crowd. Which I ask why when we have Mania? :p

[vanguardplays]

I think the worst part about this game is it only had 3 level designers 2 of which have never worked on a sonic game before and the other only working on sonic lost world.



great job sega

[Crit-Chance]

Sonic Forces is an unnecessary reminder that Sonic Mania is fucking amazing.

[PolarPhantom]

Nothing about this is good, Vector.

That's why it's called "war".

Sonic Forces you to hold the boost button and go foward

[RiderNexus]

The most mediocre Sonic game I've ever played and when you compare it to other games this year and especially Mania, this game feels soulless

[mimakos]

I am waiting for "Sonic 5 The Quest For Miluk"

"None of this is good Vector;
That's why it's called war."

I got the Platinum Trophy on this game and quite frankly it's a big disappointment in almost every department aside from the presentation, but I didn't hate it. I'm absolutely tired of the negativity this game brought to the Sonic fandom and everyone else though, and I'm ready to move forward with the franchise and forget about this subpar game already.

[Eelanos]

I'm so confused... I saw 3 different reviews and every single one seem to praise one part that the other reviews hate, and hate one part that the other reviews seem to like. This is so confusing...
They all seem to agree on Classic Sonic being there for no reason, though.

1:28 Caddy is baffled by the existence of serious stories in 3D Sonic games

[azurai]

I was hoping for Infinite to be a by product of the business with the Time Eater in Generations which is why he could outfight Sonic - he has the memories of EVERY fight with Eggman/apocalyptic monster and thus could replicate past friends/foes such as Chaos and Shadow.

[FloofPuppy]

I'm saying this. I actually enjoyed the game but felt that it needed MORE. Levels were too short, story was literally nothing complexing or worth talking about, characters were limited once again (Because Sega forgets the ones we ACTUALLY like) and it felt like Colors but worst.

But to be honest, it's not the worst Sonic game, it just... needs more. And I thought the levels in Sonic Colors were short...

A Caddy video on Sonic? This is a damn good birthday present!

Aside from the story, the stage design and even the confusing boss choices, my biggest issue with the game is that it feels like a massive step down from previous games that did the same thing. By itself, it's extremely mediocre, as a sequel to games like unleashed and genrations, it's beyond inexcusable. It's baffling how clunky the controls are in comparison.
