Sonic Forces

Dr. Eggman has taken control of much of the world with help from the mysterious Infinite. Join the resistance as a custom recruit and help Sonic's team push back against Eggman's forces.

Play through fast-paced platforming stages in three styles: Modern Sonic's 3D runs, Classic Sonic's 2D stages, and levels for your customizable hero. The hero can equip different gadgets for combat and movement.

Run stages, defeat enemies, and revisit levels to collect rings, tackle time trials, and pursue S ranks. The added Episode Shadow content includes stages with Shadow as a playable character.

In the supplied reviews, players who enjoyed the game often highlight its soundtrack, the chance to create and outfit a hero, and the fun of replaying stages to collect items or improve times. Some also appreciate the colorful presentation and quick, easy-to-pick-up action. Reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about short, automated levels, awkward controls, and an underdeveloped story.
