![]() ![]() ![]() Modern Sonic is a mix of guitars and electric synths, while the Avatar is full on EDM. The music in Sonic Forces ranges from bland and forgettable to amazing. It was just hard for me to ignore the fact that nothing very interesting was ever going on in the levels, with the only major exception being the burning city. The designs for Chemical Plant, Death Egg and Eggman’s Empire all just look like chunks of metal stuck together, and lack any real distinct sense of identity.Īlthough I do wish the game was more visually impressive, I think opting for a rock solid 60fps over high fidelity graphics was the right call. Many level aesthetics also feel way too same-y for my taste. Outside of the quality of the character models, Forces doesn’t look nearly as good as Sonic Unleashed or Generations, and backgrounds are much less detailed. But this excellent performance does come at a cost, namely, the visual fidelity. It has a consistent 60fps, and I never saw it stutter a single time. Sonic Forces has pretty solid presentation across the board. ![]() It doesn’t have the best writing I’ve seen in a Sonic game, as there are a handful of points in the story that aren’t well developed, but it’s definitely the most enjoyable Sonic story since at least 2010’s Sonic Colors. It feels like a story ripped right out of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, something I think is a welcome addition to the series. It strikes a good balance between comedy and drama, and is more akin to Sonic The Hedgehog SatAM rather than Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. I don’t wanna spend too much more time on the story, but I will say it was surprisingly enjoyable. Outside of a small side plot with Tails, the character is barely a presence in the narrative, and he has basically zero meaningful interactions with the rest of the cast, his Modern self included. Having said that, Classic’s appearance doesn’t really amount to much. In what is probably the weirdest move this franchise has ever made, Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces are directly tied together, and the Phantom Ruby is the reason Classic Sonic is back in the first place. The main plot device of Sonic Forces is the Phantom Ruby, the very same jewel that was the source of Eggman’s power in Sonic Mania. With no Sonic (Eggman took him as a prisoner), the Resistance and their leader, Knuckles the Echidna, are doing all that they can to survive, while at the same time looking for a weak spot in Eggman’s forces. The game starts with Sonic traveling to a city under siege to stop Eggman, and he is promptly defeated by a group of villains from his past, as well as newcomer, Infinite.įast forward six months, and the Resistance is on the defensive against Eggman’s army. Sonic Forces allows players to make their very own original character, and they actually play a small role in the events of the story. To this end, the Resistance needs your help to overthrow Eggman’s empire. Eggman has conquered the majority of the world in Sonic Forces, and it’s up to Sonic and the Freedom Figh… er, the Resistance to stop him from achieving total domination. The trailer showed off Sonic running through a burning city not too dissimilar from Sonic 06’s own Crisis City, before being joined by his rotund and lovable Classic counterpart.ĭr. The reveal of Sonic Forces, formerly known as Project Sonic 2017, capped off the Sonic 25th anniversary party during the summer of 2016.
