Gotta go (moderately) fast!

Not a single 3D Sonic game has ever managed to surpass the quality and the magic from the Mega Drive era, but that’s definitely not an issue here. Sonic Forces wasn’t trying to compete with its 3 month old brother, it was just trying to be a decent Sonic game in its own right, and it definitely manages to do so, even though its Switch version does feature a myriad of issues. In this day and age, the fact a 3D game featuring the blue hedgehog is decent is already enough for me to sit back relieved. If you’re a fan, don’t you worry, the game is good enough for you, without the need to force yourself into thinking it’s not as bad as others say it is (you know you’ve done this before)."
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
Game Rant Writes "Sonic Forces is now five years old, and while it has plenty of flaws, there are things the 2017 release handles well enough to affect future games."
Sega aims to release 2D Sonic games alongside the 3D ones each year, but it's questionable how the company plans to continue this trend.
it definitely ain't as bad as some sites are saying. Liking it so far!
