Sonic Forces Critic Reviews and Review Scores

Though not without its moments, Forces is a depressing return to form for Sonic the Hedgehog after the joys of Mania.

On top of the joy of creating and playing as your own character, there's a lot of goofy charm that makes Sonic Forces hard to be too disappointed with. The graphics are colorful and engaging, and the music is a pumping backdrop for extreme team-ups, super-speed cinematics, and lots of ruminations on the power of friendship. There are some really fun levels in the mix, too, and surprisingly strong boss fights make for some unexpected highlights. But Sonic Forces doesn't build on its handful of good ideas as much as it should, and it screeches to a halt just as it seems to hit its stride.

Fans might get a kick out of designing their own character, but weak platforming stops Forces dead in its tracks.

Despite its silly story and inconsistent gameplay, Sonic Forces is a fun adventure and a step in the right direction for 3D Sonic titles

Sonic Forces consistently fails more than it succeeds, squandering the opportunity to build on the series' past successes.
