Marooners' RockAhmed Al-SheikhNov 20178.6/10I have to admit, that middle schooler who drew his own characters back in the day got super giddy when Sonic fist bumped the Custom Avatar and called him partner.

PlayStation LifeStyleTyler TreeseNov 20178/10There's a moment early on in Sonic Forces where Sonic says that it's “not time for thinking. It's time for running.” Not only does he perfectly describe his series' design philosophy, he also sets the blueprint for who will enjoy this game. If you're willing to turn your brain off for a few hours, and just take in the pure spectacle that is watching hundreds of Sonic characters fighting on a battlefield during a cutscene, then you'll find a lot to enjoy here. It's a really dumb game at its core, but it's also just pure fun in a well-meaning, lighthearted package.

Windows CentralPaul AcevedoNov 20174/5 starsThe famous weaknesses of the 3D Sonics are still present, but the sheer wealth and variety of stages and missions largely makes up for them in my eyes.

DarkZeroSimon LundmarkJan 20183/10I won't pretend that Sonic Forces is a disappointment – it telegraphed its kitchen sink approach to content a long time ago. Desperately trying to please every kind of Sonic fan, it is every bit the mishmash of half realised ideas vying for your attention that it seemed like it would be. I guess I just never expected that their attempts to hold that attention would be so feeble.

Gamers HeroesCasey ScheldFeb 20183/10Sonic Forces is a rush job that lacks the charm and attention to detail found in the blue blur's better titles. Don't bother looking for a solid platformer here – the fact that the developers didn't care means that you shouldn't either.
