Professional reviews from gaming critics
The short campaign, uneven level design, and imperfect controls all put a hamper on the overall experience. While Sonic Forces may be far from the perfect Sonic game, there’s still an enjoyable adventure worth experiencing especially for platformer fans and those who’ve enjoyed Sonic Team’s recent efforts.
There is too much wrong with Sonic Forces to recommend it to everyone, but if you’re hankering for 3D Sonic, and you’ve finished every other Sonic game, then check it out on sale.
SEGA and Sonic Team bring back the boost formula in 2017's 'Sonic Forces'. Does this promised return to form impress?
Sonic Forces may be a misstep from this year’s Mania, but it’s still an enjoyable title. While it suffers from a host of problems with pacing and performance, it still is worth a weekend rental with its surprisingly entertaining plot and great music.
You better have to choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash, because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.
There's certainly something in Sonic Forces for fans of the franchise and there are some steps in the right direction. However, the story, world, and characters never come together into a cohesive whole.
Sonic Forces is in many ways, my dream Sonic game from when I was 8 years old. I fanatically consumed all forms of Sonic media. I played the games over and

Sonic Forces is the latest in a long line of 3D Sonic games that have been nothing but a disappointment. Only its melodramatic soundtrack bristling with vocalised tracks deserves any praise. It feels like a game bereft of any clear direction; a mish-mash of ideas poorly glued together in the hope that something will stick. Sonic Forces may not be the worst Sonic game ever made, but it’s close, and I don’t think the speedy blue hedgehog has many more chances to impress before gamers like myself lose all hope of him returning to his former glory.
Sonic Forces is a rush job that lacks the charm and attention to detail found in the blue blur’s better titles. Don’t bother looking for a solid platformer here - the fact that the developers didn’t care means that you shouldn’t either.
Sonic the Hedgehog first debuted in 1991 a mere 26 years ago. Anyone that has grown up will tell you that by the time you turn 26 you have faced all sorts of challenges. One of the key challenges everyone faces is identity, and Sonic has been no different. Sonic sat out the innings that were the 32 bit era and by the time he returned, Mario was already 64 bits strong and the world Sonic knew was gone.
