Sonic Forces Bonus Edition - Nintendo Switch

I wanted to give this game a chance despite some of the reviews that are out there. There were both good and bad things about this game. Pros: I ended up getting the bonus edition of the game because it came with the Shadow prequel episode and free DLC costumes for your Sonic avatar. Plus, it comes with the skin decals for your joy-con controllers - which is pretty cool. :) There were two or three levels in the game that I did have fun with. Creating your own Sonic avatar was fun. You unlock more costumes and items for your Avatar for each level you beat. Seeing your avatar interact with Sonic and team was cool, too. Kids will love creating their own avatars. I think the music is alright. There are 2 or 3 interesting songs in there that was fun to listen to. Cons: The game feels kinda unpolished and that the levels are too short and they just end abruptly. Just when you were starting to get into the level, it just suddenly ends. Classic Sonic levels felt the most unpolished. The physics and gameplay of Classic Sonic felt stiff compared to his gameplay in Sonic Generations - which was better. As for Modern Sonic and the Avatar character controls, they also feel a bit stiff, too. There were a lot of automated sections where the game just plays the levels for you. I wouldn't mind the automated sections if there weren't very many of them, but it was never THIS extensive in modern Sonic games. The story was kinda lackluster. Something happens to Sonic at the beginning of the game, but it doesn't last long, and the story just treats the situation as it's no big deal. They could have done so much more with the new villain, but they didn't. Infinite didn't really have a good backstory in the prequel in episode Shadow. When you learn about his backstory, it's really not that great. Plus, you don't know what happens to the villain at the end because the story just doesn't really explain it. If given more time, the story could have been very interesting. Besides Dr. Eggman and the new villain Infinite, you see 4 other returning villains, but you only end up fighting 2 of them. Final Thoughts: Overall, this game had the potential to be a good game, it just wasn't fully realized or polished enough. These flaws were what kept the game from being really great. So, it's pretty much an average or mediocre game. I still got some enjoyment out of it, but at the same time I still felt disappointed with it. Like I said, it's a mixed bag for me. I'll still play the game to unlock more costumes and stuff for my avatar. I'll also replay the levels and do a speedrun of the game. At least that will be kinda fun since there are people who love to do speedruns of video games. If you're a Sonic fan and your curious about it, go ahead and try out the game. If you're unsure, just rent it to see if you will like it or not.

This game, albeit short, was quite fun. It gave me enough of a challenge, but not too much. It could've been way better, but it was quite fun for what it was. It had a few issues, such as the level design being weird sometimes, and lots of bugs. A lot of the levels were shorter than they should've been, such as Null Space, which you spend less than 2 minutes in. Overall, however, I thought it was good for the price I got it, which was a sale.

I was a huge fan of Sega because of only SONIC 80s to early 2000. the last sonic series I'd played was Sonic Adventure 2. I know this game is not 100% new to gamers but to me, it was enough enjoyable to play. If you have any memory about SONIC, I would recommend to play it.

I liked the Graphics using the Hedgehog Engine 2, The Avatar Mode and the Soundtrack. But it lacked Replayably Enjoyment, the game is too short, (4-5 hours) and the story don’t feel compared to other Sonic games, still looks good on Nintendo Switch so good game.

A lot of people don’t like it but I enjoyed this game, it was fun for me, but it seems the story ended pretty fast whis is the only downside for me, aside from that it is a decent game to buy

I love Sonic and I've appreciated some of the directions Sega has taken this year, especially with Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces on the Switch. However, Sonic Forces did not live up to the hype. What could have been a revolutionary new model for the franchise turned out to be good, but not great. Repetitive bosses and level design while also not taking full advantage of the new player mechanics, the overall story seemed like it was cut short and never really got the chance to develop. Only recommend to those who really want to play a new Sonic 3D game.

Haven't played a sonic game in a couple of years. This game is pretty fun and graphically pleasing. My kids are enjoying it very much.

This is a fun albeit different 3D Sonic game! Worth the money indeed, $40 is perfect. The game is good but not great!
