Pros

>OC maker is fun

>Episode Shadow levels are ok

>Some of the levels with Infinite are cool

>Robotnik finally gets to take over the world

>Sanic is now official Sonic lore

Cons

>Sonic levels are glitchy as fuck and and jumping off the rails in the space level will send you hurdling into space

>Levels are very short and forgettable, most of which can be completed in less than a minute

>Classic Sonic controls like shit and feels like a rehashed idea from a much better game

>Some of the Wispons, namely the whip, sends you crashing into foes and flying off cliffs

>Chaos is teased as a boss and dies in a cutscene

>Quick time events

Sonic Forces was a good idea that was poorly executed. Check it out if you're really curious since the game can be finished in a single sitting, but I wouldn't recommended paying for it. I'd honestly love if Sega did this game again if they fixed all the problems with Forces and gave the player the option to fight for the Eggman Empire.

>How the actual fuck did a literally who that has no experience in that area be put in charge of stages over the lead designer for Colors and Generations

Brownie points I assume. It speaks volumes about Sega's decision making when they're trying to sell a game as being made by the people that made the good games and refused to use the original crew. The ONLY other Sonic game that the lead game designer of Forces worked on was Colors, and he was a fucking planner. I'd say that Sega would be wise to backpedal on their decisions and go back to what worked, but I've been down this road too many times to know that they won't learn a damn thing.

AND WHEN YOU FILED YOUR PLAN TO HAVE ME BOARD

I played you right into my own game

SO I'LL GRAB YOUR PRIZE AND START THIS WAR

I'm gonna sink you like a tidal wave

WHEN EVERYTHING YOU'VE PLANNED FOR FLIGHT IS GONE

CIA has fallen, I am rising higher

AND EVERY WING YOU'VE HAD HAS BROKEN OFF

What they'll find in the wreckage is fuel to my fire

AND THERE'S NO AIRCRAFT LEFT TO FLY YOU ON

My fire is lit, your crash is imminent and

I PERMIT

YOU DIE IN IT

AND REST IN DISGRACE ON THE INTERNET

SO LOOK ABOVE YOU AND TELL ME WHAT YOU REALLY SEE

I'M NEVER FALLING, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN YOU AND ME

SO WHEN YOUR FLIGHT IS STOPPED AND EVERYTHING IS CRASHING DOWN

IT'S ONLY PAIN FOR YOU, WHO IS GONNA SAVE YOU NOW?

OP, I tried to be optimistic for this game when it was first announced, but any hope I had for this game died off around the 3rd stage.

Every stage is extremely short; you'll be spending about a minute or two average per stage. The 3D sections feel incredibly lazy, and the 2D sections are okay at best. Your OC plays like Sonic but with gimmicks. I actually didn't think the OC's gameplay was too bad, but it wasn't really great either. Classic Sonic is a total downgrade from his Mania incarnation and is the worst part of the game. The first stage alone gives enough of an impression of how mediocre this is gonna be.

When the first stage of a SONIC game is boring, you don't even need to smell the smoke to know there's a fire. In addition to the gameplay, the plot tries to be too ambitious and only manages to make itself look ridiculous and tryhard. The cutscene after Green Hill I GUESS GREEN HILL'S LOOKING MORE LIKE S A N D HILL NOW is cool enough; all the enemies wreck Sonic's shit, Infinite cucks Sonic of his 2fast status, all that jazz. The scene after is a black screen with white text telling you that Eggman successfully enslaved the world, Sonic is gone, and shits fucked. Then it cuts to the main cast huddled together in some make-shit HQ for their rebel group. Commander FUCKING Knuckles gives you the rundown of how things are looking bleak, Tails has apparently "lost it", and they actually, unironically suggest and accept the idea that Sonic is fucking dead. Later, Tails for whatever reason can't repair Omega, and Chaos 0 jumps him, causing Tails to bend over and prepare his asscheeks because he's scared shitless of the water monster he bravely held his own against in SA1. I guess both the writers and developers thought Adventure fans were nonexistent because, not only is this Chaos' only scene, but you don't even get to FIGHT HIM. Mania Sonic saves him via deus ex machina and does nothing of any importance for the entire story. By now you're thinking that the story is at least on SA2 levels of over-the-top and nuts, right? You'll have a whacky, B-movie tier action story to entertain you along with your going fast, right? Fat chance, kiddo. The scene after the OC's stage shows Sonic is actually not in any harm at all, despite being tortured for 6 months, he gets rescued in under 5 minutes, yadda yadda.

Remember the huge villain group that Sega tried to hype people up for? It turns out none of them are actually real! Yeah, they're all just illusions Infinite made with the Phantom Plot-Device! Speaking of Infinite, he doesn't have a cool backstory like being some god from ancient times that ties neatly back into the lore of the older games, nor is he a being created by some madman in an effort to find a cure for his dying daughter(niece? I can't remember), nor does he have some grand motivation or scheme to joining Eggman and conquering the world. Infinite is a fucking loser who's squad of mercs got their asses handed to them by Shadow, himself included, and got so rump rattled that he put on an edgy mask and got a reality altering crystal placed in him just to say "Fuck you"

TL;DR I'm tired, bored, and really hated this game. Shadow, in an ironic twist, proved to be the only saving grace this game had. OC customization is fun but not worth it. The best part of the game is Eggman winning and killing the furries. Fuck the gameplay, fuck the story, fuck Infinite, fuck Sega, fuck Sonic Team, fuck me for being optimistic about this game after Mania's success, I'm going back to playing SA2, call me when Chao Karate comes back

Basically what everyone in this thread is saying, it's not unplayable, but what's the fucking point? It's a watered down version of Generations with piss-easy, borderline automatic levels, fucked-up physics, an unremarkable soundtrack with a few stand-out songs, and a half-baked plot that wants to be SA2 but just isn't fleshed out enough. Really the whole game comes off as unfinished, and I wonder if that's down to a shit-ton of executive meddling how can Forces tie into Mania when the latter didn't even start development until two years after they started the former?, but that's speculation. The only real reason to play it is if you're the kind of person that's so far in that they'll play any Sonic game, regardless of quality.
