With the recent success of Sonic Mania many eyes now gaze at Sonic Forces as it tries to follow up to the nostalgia trip that had a lot of people happy and returns to the 3D style of Sonic games we are used to. Sonic Forces is a title that returns to the modern Sonic boost formula first pioneered in Sonic Unleashed and also brings back the classic Sonic gameplay found in Sonic Generations. It also throws in a new avatar character with its own levels and an interesting tag team set of stages which feature modern Sonic and your own avatar. Let’s run through this new Sonic title and have a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly in regards to this trio of heroes.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
Game Rant Writes "Sonic Forces is now five years old, and while it has plenty of flaws, there are things the 2017 release handles well enough to affect future games."
Sega aims to release 2D Sonic games alongside the 3D ones each year, but it's questionable how the company plans to continue this trend.
