HIGH First character maker in a Sonic game? Sweet! LOW The level design, story, and gameplay are shockingly underwhelming.

Critic reviews
- 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.
- 8.1The Sonic levels are great, the visuals are really bright and charming and the music is excellent (Feel free to take that with a pinch of salt though, I still frequently listen to the Sonic R and Sonic Adventure soundtracks which this one will take a place along side for sure!). For the first time in years, I actually enjoyed and looked forward to going back to a Sonic game and will continue to hunt those red star rings for a while yet. But the main USP of the avatars let the side down.
- 4.0Playing Sonic Forces is like being on a terrible rollercoaster. All you can ever really do is push forward and hope for the best.
- 6.0This title faces the same issues as recent 3D Sonic titles that it tries to be a game with something for everyone instead of finding what it wants to become and stick to it. There’s hesitation in how far Forces wants to take what could be really interesting unexplored topics like what in the world has changed while Eggman took over, this ultimately just makes it the same story as ever “Eggman has a new creation and strange power, Sonic and his friends save the day.”
- 5.0It’s just unfortunate that it was released so soon after Mania, which took the best of old Sonic and made it sparklingly relevant again. Forces, however, is plagued by inconsistent level design, floaty controls, and a risible Saturday morning cartoon storyline that only kids and rabid Sonic fans will find entertaining.
Gamer reviews
Sonic needs help!
Yeah this game needs help! Though its not bad, it is not good either. Its short campaign, wonky controls, and lackluster gameplay really disappoints. Though still hopeful that someday this team may do justice to Sonic fans through its future projects.

It's been a while sinds I played my last Sonic game, so when I saw Sonic Forces for € 9,99 on the eshop I grabbed my chance. Its most Likely not the best game you'll ever play but also most sertanly not the worst. Although the game is fairly short seeing your own custom character along side sonic is fun to watch. I would recommend this game aslong as you get it for the right price
Let’s hope the next one is actually good.
Look, it isn't the greatest game ever. Is it bad? Not overly. I got it for $10 and realized it was a pretty quick game. I'm sorry, gamers, but this game was not mind-blowing. Less than 5 hours of a game is a regretful game.
