Abstract: It's taken years of gruesome experimentation but Sonic Team's designers have finally pulled it off. They've created the Ur-Sidekick, the Sidekick of Sidekicks, a total embodiment of a wayward franchise that can be invested with the traits of every other n...
Entertaining (if cheesy) story, Soundtrack is pretty amazing, Avatar creation is a good addition, Some stages are blisteringly fast...
Others are slow and a slog to play, Classic Sonic is out of place in narrative and gameplay, Not a good looking game compared to recent titles, Switch version is locked at 30 FPS
Sonic Forces may be a misstep from this year's Mania, but it's still an enjoyable title. While it suffers from a host of problems with pacing and performance, it still is worth a weekend rental with its surprisingly entertaining plot and great music

Sonic Forces is a disappointing rehash of everything that has been done wrong with the Sonic franchise in the past. There were some good ideas here, but none of them were executed in a way that was fun or enjoyable...
An exercise in apathy, neither solid nor liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit "meh," really. How we score: The destructoid reviews guide...
