SONIC FORCES

VARIOUS, 2017

Eggman’s back, and he’s not alone – past foes Chaos, Zavok and Metal Sonic are here too, along with new villain Infinite. That combined force is enough for Eggman to take over the world, and even Sonic is captured. But with the help of classic Sonic and a new member of the resistance that you create yourself, you can start to turn the tide. Much of the gameplay in Sonic Forces is patterned after Sonic Generations, but the game doesn’t live up to that standard – the controls can feel quite iffy and stages are short and easy, while Sonic’s quips and jokes feel like an odd fit for the plot’s attempted seriousness.
