Fight through a world destroyed by Dr. Eggman and a powerful new villain in Sonic Forces, the new fast-paced action platformer from the team that brought you Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. Sonic Forces lets you speed through rolling ruined landscapes as Modern Sonic, catapult past perilous platforms as Classic Sonic, and use powerful new gadgets as your own Custom Hero Character.
About the story
The game follows Sonic the Hedgehog as a member of a resistance force against Doctor Eggman, who has taken over the world with the help of his robot army and a mysterious new villain known as Infinite. Gameplay is similar to Sonic Generations with players controlling "Classic" and "Modern" versions of the titular character; the former plays from a 2.5D side-scrolling view reminiscent of the original Sonic games on the Sega Genesis, while the latter uses three-dimensional gameplay similar to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. In addition to the two Sonics, Sonic Forces also introduces a third gameplay mode featuring the "Avatar", the player's own custom character.

Critic Reviews
Impulsegamer
By Jamie KirkFor every cool idea in Sonic Forces, there is a half-hearted execution, and while that may give me warm memories of my childhood, it doesn't make for something I could whole heartedly recommend.
Pardis Game
By Parham AghakhaniSonic Forces is supposedly made by the team that brought us Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors. However, the end result is not even nearly as good as those titles. Those who like the avatar creation system and how their avatars work together with the series' most iconic characters, will surely fall in love with this game. But those players who want to experience a good sonic game and have fun will be massively disappointed
Gamers Heroes
By Casey ScheldSonic 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.

By Simon LundmarkI won't pretend that Sonic Forces is a disappointment – it telegraphed its kitchen sink approach to content a long time ago. Desperately trying to please every kind of Sonic fan, it is every bit the mishmash of half realised ideas vying for your attention that it seemed like it would be. I guess I just never expected that their attempts to hold that attention would be so feeble.

By Pranay Parab ,For most people Sonic Forces is a game best avoided, especially when Sonic Mania is around to give a taste of what the franchise should be aiming for.
