Warning: Spoilers
So sonic forces is a game from the sonic the Hedgehog franchise that is a part of the main series of sonic games and not the spin off games and it shows a character named infinite that has something called the Phantom ruby theta can can control time and space and he brings back various sonic villain characters like shadow and metal sonic for example and sonic actually gets defeated and Eggman one of the main antagonists takes over the world and now the remaining resistance team needs to work together to stop Eggman by all of them uniting as a team to stop him and to also repair their own world back together again and they do in the end and they all live happily ever at least until the next game. HOWEVER, I've done a lot of research on this game and have figured out that a lot of people who have played this game before don't actually like it that much and think that it is a bad game but I have done research all about this game and everything in it and I begged a differ so I'm going to do an honest review on this game so here we go. So first of all the gameplay seems very solid for how there are both 2d and 3d sections that can transition between one another which I think is really cool to have both formulas of 2d classic sonic games and the 3d sonic games together to fit both themes. Also classic sonic makes a return in this game back from regular sonic meeting him in the game sonic generations and it's cool to see him back in this game as a nice little callback. Also the callbacks and references to having previous sonic villains appear in this game from fan favorite games of the sonic franchise was a huge surprise to me and it's great to see all of them in the same room. Also Eggman's previous inventions make a return like the egg dragoon from sonic unleashed and even a metal sonic boss fight in 3d. Also the boss fights finally have health bars now and while it's a minor detail at least you know how much progress you're making during each one of them. Also the cinematic cutscene in this game are very well animated and have started very smooth art design that has all of the characters in their normal original 3d modern designs and the dialogue for each character fits their personality perfectly in my opinion and the voice actors who voice them have EXTREMELY nice talents in voice acting to me. Also this game has somewhat of a comic book design where things look more 2 dimensional like the fonts and the special effects but it just looks really cool to me because I personally love reading comic books and seeing this is very nice for visuals. Also super sonic is back in this game but now he has been amped up to having an infinite amount of rings and no time limit but also your boosting ability becomes infinite and it doesn't run out and best of all you are invincible. Also the difficulty in this game seems pretty decent and also it doesn't seem too easy either so it does seem well balanced in my opinion. But also one of the best features in this game is that you can create your very own original sonic characters that have their very own abilities and have a huge part of the story mode as well and you can design them in any way you would like with custom weapons to have as well so that REALLY COOL. Also the rankings for each level can only go down to a C ranking so at least people who do get that ranking won't feel so bad. Also the craziest thing that happened in this game at the begging of it was that sonic actually loses to Eggman and he actually manages to take over the entire world and sonic actually gets captured and that's just crazy how that actually happens. Also another really cool thing about this game is the fact that SO MANY previous and iconic sonic characters from the past make a comeback in this game. I also love the fight scenes in some of the cinematic cutscenes because they are actually really cool figh5 scenes to watch They do have a good amount of action in them. So in conclusion, this game has a lot of very good elements related to gameplay, characters references and animation with a really good and smooth art style. So what would I rate this game on a scale of 1 to 10. A solid 9 because of logic in the story but that's about it everything else was great in my opinion.
