3/5 ★ – thegeekboy's review of Sonic Forces.

I can see the game had so much potential, but the gameplay is a little meh, the levels are short; right when they feel like they’re getting started, they end! The story Is also just bland, and yet it should be the one that’s exciting because it brings back so many fan favorites characters, even villains, just to do nothing with them. You don’t even get to fight chaos, or play as the other characters in this game. The villain was very mid, granted he’s the 2nd villain I’ve seen to defeat Sonic, but he feels so underwhelming. I wasn’t a fan of classic Sonic in generations, but in this game he’s worse. They also added a new character which you can customize, and while it makes the game feel more interactive, the character comes off 1 dimensional and has no dialogue, everytime you play as him, its boring. The game isn’t horrible, it’s just very disappointing, and it makes it frustrating to play, knowing how much potential it could have had. The shadow DLC also sucks.
