Can't believe i'm about to say this... Thank you IGN for giving a solid review for a Sonic game! I think this review did a great job showing the positives and the negatives in this title! Great Work :)
Sam's Procrastination Station Thats what im saying i was very surprised at this review they did a great job. And keep up the good work Sam your channel is awesome!!
CV Anims I respect this comment. I just hoped a lot better for this game. You'd think after Sonic Mania and Generations, they'd make a TRULY amazing Sonic game. Eh. Sonic Heroes, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations, Sonic Mania, Sonic XD, and Sonic Advance 2 will ALWAYS be the BEST!!
These two reviews were not written by the same person so the difference in opinions could have caused this strange gap. If the guy who reviewed Sonic Unleashed reviewed Sonic Forces, Sonic Forces probably would have gotten less than 4/10.
Jon Kotowich It really isn't bad. I had fun with it the whole time and thats all I want. I think people are really bias to it. It came out after mania and Mario o.
WAIT IGN GIVE 6.9 RATING BUT WHY SO BAD IN THIS YEAR 2017 UPCOMING JUST GOT NO GAME OF THE YEAR IN 2017 RIGHT NOW CARS 3 AREADY RELEASE AND TRANSFORMERS JUST BEEN RELEASE
Yeah, as a Sonic fan I can admit this game had a lot of potential wasted. The 2d gameplay was really bad and it was too short. They really should do a game with Unleashed duration
The game had no potential tho. It isn't rushed, it has been planned and developed to the best of it's potential. Sonic Unleashed 2 ( - 2D sections and replace werehog) or Sonic Adventure 3 are the way to go.
Sonic Mania was better. You can't even hate IGN for once for this review. (Edit) Really IGN? "everyone loves sonic" You aren't fooling anyone with that half-baked lie.
Apollo Justice It's not the review that I don't like. It's their constant lie about IGN saying that their site is the number one Sonic fansite (which they actually said) and they love Sonic. And we know how much they insulted the fans when Sonic got a bad reputation then suddenly turned into "love" when the series becomes welcomed due to Mania and Forces.
Gabe But do you think Sonic Forces would be any better if Christian Whitehead made it? Keep in mind that Christian Whitehead only proved that he could make a good 2D game, not 3D.
Gary Lu Productions who knows, maybe you’re right. But IMO that doesn’t change the fact that Sonic Mania and the mobile remakes of sonic 1 and 2 are better than anything Sonic Team made in the last 20 years, 2d or 3d.
Flávio Miranda Silva By a long shot. There’s not a single 3D Sonic game I consider really polished. Sure you can have fun with them but none are really masterpieces
I started playing on Xbox one and I’m honestly having a good time. Sure the level design and physics are wonky at times but overall the core gameplay itself is pretty fun. My favorite part is easily the character creation. Just the fact that I can play as a cat with the power of the wisps in the form of a gun in a sonic game is amazing.
After playing the game, I would say this is a good review. The game has its flaws but it is far from bad. 6.5 to 7, and if you are a sonic fan, definitely worth playing.
@@AmeliaTwee there are many games 10x worse then forces, you should be thankful Forces is not at least a buggy, glitchy and unpolished mess like a certain game
I was really expecting a score of 5 or less, but it looks like IGN finally made a rational and fair review, in my opinion I would round up the score to 7 because I don't think decimals are necessary. Good job IGN you deserve a sub +1 👍🏻
5 or 6 hour campaign? I beat it in 3 hours... I found the whole experience of Sonic Forces to be very underwhelming and forgettable, the character creator was weak, the stages too short and with poor design, the music unmemorable, boss fights too easy. There's nothing in the game that I wanted to revisit and try again. As a game that feels like a follow-up to Sonic Generations, it failed to improve upon what Generations did, and as a Sonic game that came out following the success of Mania, it only makes it more of a shame in my eyes.
Probably because he spent time to get some red rings, unlike you who calls Forces short even though 100ing the game is exactly the same time as the main campaign lmao.
Don't you guy feel bad about Sonic Team and Sega? To me, we still need them because without them, the Sonic will be no more and we many people will get angry, be glad that we have them, they spent four years making this game. If the fan take over, then they'll make it memefied and the game will be cringey. Give credit to Sonic Team and Sega. Like if you agree
The story of fan like me were trying to take things back to the 2000 Zara and try to build up on the unironic good things in it while fixing the broken things.
To be honest, I never played Sonic Forces. I am just disappointed that it did not get a reception that is as good as I wanted it to be. I played Mania, and it was great. Anyway, I am still going to keep my confidence in Sonic. I think the next generation of Sonic games could become very good. Sonic Forces is not as glitchy as a typical Sonic game. Its only problem is the level design. Sonic Team just needs to make something similar to Forces, except with a better level design and without any forced gimmicks like Classic Sonic. I do not need a good story either because most Mario games hardly have any story but they are still very enjoyable experiences.
DogSomeOre oh shut it. I'm still in pain from how horribly written the story is. And reminding me that tails sounds more like a 4chaner rather than the mild mannered boy he's supposed to be isn't making the pain go away.
This was a very good review. I think the reviewer here was incredibly fair. It was nice to see someone actually give credit to all the good in this game, while still criticising it's wasted potential.
OmegaChase1002 what do you mean? They didnt have to make this a dlc, this is something that's supposed to already had been in the game, while i like that game, this shadow DLC added absolutly nothing exciting...maybe if it had just 2 more levels i would been alright, just felt to short to me despite it being a prequal.. hope people that picked up forces physical copies got internet
GREAT JOB IGN FOR FINALLY MAKING A FAIR SONIC REVIEW!!! I have respect for this review, unlike the Sonic Lost World and especially Sonic Unleashed review. This guy analyzed everything about the game and looked at both sides of both the good and bad coins without being biased. This review is fair, and I am inclined to play Sonic Forces despite how it appears to not be the best Sonic game out there.
Adam Malkovich yes, i just wanted to correct you because the guy is getting all the love for it while the women who made this is not but yes, i agree, this time they do not focus on speed and do not say bar things about the controls
Actually most of them agree with the review. The game was too short and the 2d controls were a mess. But it has a great soundtrack and visuals, and some moments on modern sonic and avatar are really fun to play. 6.9 is totally fair
Thank you ign about think about this rationally and logically I been a huge Sonic fan for all of my life and the game was good to but had it faults too so the the was given makes since
I think the reasons why they hate this game is because of the switch because it ran lower frames per seconds than the other consoles because it was great on the ps4 not saying the Nintendo Switch is bad I think it’s great but I just think so
While that was something a lot of Switch owners criticized, the game is hated mostly for it's story and straight-line gameplay. I don't personally hate it, I think it's ok, but most outright hate the game without any nuance. They also complain that it was a lower FPS compared to Lost World which was 60, failing to realize that Forces was developed with more powerful hardware in mind than Lost World.
1. Video begins with a giant enemy crab 2. An actually decent, and very fair Sonic review with no excessive hyperbole 3. "For everything else Sonic The Hedgehog, keep it here with IGN, where everyone loves Sonic!" [Shitposting level]: *INFINITE*
Why am I here when I know they’re gonna bash this game to pieces? Edit:Is Polygon the new IGN. Was IGN actually liking Forces a bit, or am I imagining things?
i don't think anyone can say this review is bad or biased.... it is very much fair, and the game is definitely hit or miss not to bad for Sega this year... hopefully they implement patches that iron out a lot of stage bugs. and give us "free" dlc to justify and appease the very short and somewhat clunky stages... Good review IGN
I love this game the music is amazing and levels are okay but they need make the levels more longer but I do love that you can make your own character so I give this game 8/10
This is a very legitimate and fair review. The reviewer was able to find some positives and negatives in the game to be as unbiased as possible. 6.9 is also a pretty good review score, rounding up to a 7/10/ Thanks IGN for being fair this time
69 fair enough. We all expected more but after hearing that the new team isn't that experienced in making sonic levels I kinda understand why this game wasn't that amazing. The new engine and experience throughout developing this game could mean there's a lot of great potential for a sequel.
Seems a fair review. I would give it a 7/10 as well. There's nothing inherently wrong with the game except for the level design in some levels. Definitely a step back from Generations and Colors
KratosTheHedgehog24 Yeah next time Sonic Team needs to put more people on the next game because this game had less people working on it than every 3D Sonic game after Unleashed.
Joshua Hernandez Yeah maybe they need a new team all together. Maybe not have Nintendo take of cuz thats just...no not saying they would do a bad job just no.
The Legendary Golden Flash yea, I just said Nintendo cause they are awesome at making 2d and 3d platformers and Sonic as a character fits in with Nintendo; even though back in the 90s I would have never said that. But yea, any new team to handle this Ip might be good for it.
Atleast they where honest. We need constructive criticism, not hate, mostly because a big part of the team never made a game before. As a first time game, it's good, and I hope they let this team improve and make another game.
There needs to be a proper 3D sonic that's more like Mario Odyssey, or any of the past 3D Mario games but with sections for speed too. In this game the actual level is very basic and nothing special at all. The backgrounds on the other hand has a lot of stuff going on. You can tell the designers spent the majority of the time making the BACKGROUNDS look good and detailed, even though you can't go there. Then the actual level is tacked on with a hand full of bricks. Ultimately, we just need more 2D sonic games like Sonic Mania. Some games are really meant for 2D. Or even have the graphics all 3D, but with 2D gameplay like seen in parts of this game or like how modern Donkey Kong Country games are.
TroutButter the real problem about the Sonic 3D platform, was that Sonic 06 kinda messed it up, honestly a remake of that game with time, would actually be a really good adaptation to the Sonic Universe! Besides, its bot a bad game, just lacked every second of time.
As long as Sonic's in the hands of these incompetent developers who insist on going backward (from Generations) rather than forward, it won't matter if he's in 2D or 3D. Sega need to get new developers or more fans on board.
Samir Malik wasnt 2d sonic Sandbox too? Green Hill zone as example. And i mean, if sega would want to make a proprer 3d sonic, they would need to tranform this 2d sonic Sandbox style to 3d. I honestly think adventure 1 did that the best, at twinkle park at a certain place you could spindash up and skip 2/3 of the act
You know after playing the game for myself I can see that game for me is 7.5/10. It's not perfect by no means, but it's a lot better than some of the other games like Lost World and Sonic Boom games. It's been really hard for me to trust any opinions good or bad because of the toxicity that the fanbase showed off recently. So it's nice to see a good review without any bias or toxicity for once.
Iggsy81 You know a few other games that were $40 when it was released that was fantastic? Ratchet and Clank PS4 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Granted I still had fun with Forces.
And that's what Modern Sonic is about too. Why play a game about speed and not try and get the fastest time possible? That's where the real fun is. Plus, it really looks cool when you perfect a stage and play it.
I personally really liked this game despite my prejudices. It felt like a movie and a video game had a baby. I also liked the Sonic Mania tie-in. Not worth $40 but definitely worth around $20-$30.
A fair review. I loved this game and would give it a 9.5 out of 10 but I actually smiled during this review because IGN actually gave it a fair review with fair points.
Wow IGN, this was actually a really fair review. Kudos.
IKR I feel like most reveiws just say it's worse than 06 and move on this is strange for ign
Oh hello TWIP lol
better than yours alot
Sonic Ace 24 He didn't even review the game yet lol
Nipple DIRT. I want to drink the blood of a transgender woman
Can't believe i'm about to say this... Thank you IGN for giving a solid review for a Sonic game! I think this review did a great job showing the positives and the negatives in this title! Great Work :)
Sam's Procrastination Station Thats what im saying i was very surprised at this review they did a great job. And keep up the good work Sam your channel is awesome!!
same here . the words fair, ign, and sonic review, rarely meet, but this time they did.
Yeah they learned their lesson about hating on sonic after they lost so many subscribers.
The Game is ok and The Review is Fair!
Sam's Procrastination Station you clearly saw them play the game above average Right? No one boost onto an enemy on a ledge when you can fall off
As a Sonic fan, and a fan of this game, this is an INCREDIBLY FAIR review.
CV Anims I know right?!
But they could give a 7 instead of a 6.9 xD
Fair? I'm sorry, not used to hearing that word being used for an IGN review on a Sonic game
CV Anims I respect this comment. I just hoped a lot better for this game. You'd think after Sonic Mania and Generations, they'd make a TRULY amazing Sonic game. Eh.
Sonic Heroes, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations, Sonic Mania, Sonic XD, and Sonic Advance 2 will ALWAYS be the BEST!!
It is honestly and sonic is legit my fav character of all time
CV Anims True tho
You gave this a 6.9 and yet you gave Unleashed a 4?
dafuq
These two reviews were not written by the same person so the difference in opinions could have caused this strange gap. If the guy who reviewed Sonic Unleashed reviewed Sonic Forces, Sonic Forces probably would have gotten less than 4/10.
Gary Lu Productions true we can all agree whoever that was was biased.
Lmao wow😂
Unleashed would be 9.3/10 imo, is fantastic, BUT THE MEDAL HUNTING....
Who's here after that PS plus announcement?
Me and I'm not happy they gave us this terrible game only one I'll play is shadow of colossus
Get the hell outta here begging for likes, its PATHETIC!
Me
😂😂😂
@@somberbrandon3147 it's probably because the Sonic Movie was just recently released that they decided it
Considering the low scores this has been getting, I'm surprised IGN of all places gave it a 6.9
FoneyBone1 same here bro, in other Sonic Forces gameplays people were saying that that IGN was going t give it a 5 or below
It's a pretty fair review. The game isn't bad or anything, it's just not great. Inconsistent is the perfect word for it.
Still not a great score but an "ok" score.
IGN tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum with their reviews
SONIC WAS NEVER GOOD. lol
“IGN, where everyone loves Sonic.”
Yeah, okay. Sure. Like that’s believable after last summer.
''Where everyone loves Sonic''
''And Green Hill Zone from uh....Sonic 2''
woah But you're the enemy,what are you doing in a Sonic review? :U
Haha dont you mean palmtree panic from sonic colors
Dude, only one person from IGN made that mistake. What makes you think that everyone in IGN would think the same thing?
they need to put in that line from now on on every upcoming sonic game, you know, to redeem themselves...and also to make another internet meme
And Crisis City from Tails the Music Maker.
Sonic was never good.
-IGN 2016
Keep here on IGN, where everyone loves Sonic.
-IGN 2017
Really?!
BirdX 3000 don’t trust IGN for sonic games
IGN isn't one person....
He had to lmao
It was probably a joke
They’re joking! 😂
IGN: "Sonic Unleashed is too hard!" Also IGN: "Sonic Forces is too easy!"
inconsistent
IGN isn't one person u dummy. The dude who reviewed unleashed probably doesn't even work at IGN anymore
@@krishiebobbybill3209 you just descriped why a company should NOT review games
Funnily enough, those statements are both true
@@gechotarisWhat a ridiculous statement
I'm not even that big of a sonic fan, but I personally like forces. Not on par with Mario oddyssey or anything, but definitely not bad
Jon Kotowich It really isn't bad. I had fun with it the whole time and thats all I want. I think people are really bias to it. It came out after mania and Mario o.
Jon Kotowich no one is saying it is bad, it got a 6.9 from IGN and 5 from GameSpot, thats the zone of mediocre, not bad

True dat
It's 6/10 my guy
This review is actually really good it perfectly describes the game and the score is FAIR. Well done IGN you nailed this one.
Its free on PS Plus this month! Why not?
I’m sorry but compared to other sonic games this is terrible should have got mania in August
This isn't bad as a first sonic game, however it's nowhere near the quality of generations, mania, or the adventure series.
getting 100 subs without vids It’s an Ok Sonic game doesn’t mean it’s bad
Yeah, as a Sonic fan I can admit this game had a lot of potential wasted. The 2d gameplay was really bad and it was too short. They really should do a game with Unleashed duration
The game had no potential tho. It isn't rushed, it has been planned and developed to the best of it's potential. Sonic Unleashed 2 ( - 2D sections and replace werehog) or Sonic Adventure 3 are the way to go.
If there's no Werehog then it can't be named Unleashed 2.
Unless you want Sonic to transform into something else.
@@mastercreepy5893
Super Sayian 2! We've all been waiting for it!
Sonic Mania was better. You can't even hate IGN for once for this review.
(Edit) Really IGN? "everyone loves sonic" You aren't fooling anyone with that half-baked lie.

6.9-Too Much Sonic,Not enough Mario
And it's free for this month boosting it to a hell yeah might as well get it
6.9 is not bad. I would give a 7. I think forces is pretty fun.
MD GameStation its true
Agree
It's official, fans make better sonic games than Sonic Team themselves
Gabe But do you think Sonic Forces would be any better if Christian Whitehead made it? Keep in mind that Christian Whitehead only proved that he could make a good 2D game, not 3D.

Flávio Miranda Silva By a long shot. There’s not a single 3D Sonic game I consider really polished. Sure you can have fun with them but none are really masterpieces

Too mediocre
Worse than this
I started playing on Xbox one and I’m honestly having a good time. Sure the level design and physics are wonky at times but overall the core gameplay itself is pretty fun.

@Golden Fry Yeah, wtf is he smoking?! Lol
@Golden Fry play sonic 4 now,trust me it's worse than those
@@AmeliaTwee there are many games 10x worse then forces, you should be thankful Forces is not at least a buggy, glitchy and unpolished mess like a certain game
why dont you give it a 7.0? the 6.9 made my OCD act up so bad lol
OMG... I see you in Esams chat all the time...
That score is hurting me so bad. Just round it up.
6.9 means it’s literally on the highest end of ok, without it being good. That’s IGN’s review philosophy anyway.
PFP Dan It’s bugging the hell out of me too. Why would IGN do that way?
I called it.
I was really expecting a score of 5 or less, but it looks like IGN finally made a rational and fair review, in my opinion I would round up the score to 7 because I don't think decimals are necessary.
Good job IGN you deserve a sub +1 👍🏻
I want to know who the guy was who tried boosting into an enemy when there was clearly a cliff right there when they could have homing attacked lol.
5 or 6 hour campaign? I beat it in 3 hours...
I found the whole experience of Sonic Forces to be very underwhelming and forgettable, the character creator was weak, the stages too short and with poor design, the music unmemorable, boss fights too easy. There's nothing in the game that I wanted to revisit and try again.

I think he spent a lttle too much time on the character creator
Probably because he spent time to get some red rings, unlike you who calls Forces short even though 100ing the game is exactly the same time as the main campaign lmao.
No way around it, this review was honest and fair
The first of it's kind, and made by IGN no less..

GREAT JOB IGN FOR FINALLY MAKING A FAIR SONIC REVIEW!!!
I have respect for this review, unlike the Sonic Lost World and especially Sonic Unleashed review. This guy analyzed everything about the game and looked at both sides of both the good and bad coins without being biased. This review is fair, and I am inclined to play Sonic Forces despite how it appears to not be the best Sonic game out there.
Adam Malkovich it was another person who made the review, this guy narrated it
One way or another, this review isn't a cheap rant video.
Adam Malkovich yes, i just wanted to correct you because the guy is getting all the love for it while the women who made this is not
but yes, i agree, this time they do not focus on speed and do not say bar things about the controls
Adam Malkovich the one who reviewed Unleashed and Lost World, wasn’t it the same person?
It was voiced over by a guy, but I believe the actual reviewer was a woman.
Wow... they actually don't sound biased this time
In other words, “this review agreees with my opinion so it has to be true!”
Taran Abel because its not nintendo
"In other words, “this review agreees with my opinion so it has to be true!”" No it just doesn't sound biased.
Juan Sanchez “This review is against my opinion so it is biased!”
I actually don't like the game either, I was simply pointing out how silly he sounded. But by all means, keep making assumptions :)
This comment section is gonna be interesting
Gogy [ ] ikr lol
Sonic fans are an interesting bunch I tell ya.
IGN's comment sections are always garbage.
Actually every sonic fan seems happy with this score to the moment.
I mean is fair. 6.9 means the game is okay.
Actually most of them agree with the review. The game was too short and the 2d controls were a mess. But it has a great soundtrack and visuals, and some moments on modern sonic and avatar are really fun to play. 6.9 is totally fair
“IGN: where everyone loves Sonic” 🤣🤣🤣
Joseph Estadt that sounded so forced.
I guess sonic forces ign to love sonic again by letting shadow pull a gun on them.
Ay the review is 6.9 and this comment has 69 likes so let’s leave it at 69 likes.
And Sonic fans thought this was going to be the 'mario Odyssey killer" wow

Darryl Jack I agree its a good game really its just to short
Alex Talbain ik right
It was actually Heidi Kemp who reviewed this game. But narrated by this guy.
I actually agree with this guy
Well, most of the thing he said. He should do more Sonic games review in the future to be honest
"Insert 69 joke"

6.9??? A decent score on a new 3D Sonic? Are you sure this is IGN?
But the best part is this hat that says “gamer” on it
No. The best part is the
Sanic t-shirt found in the game archives
uh oh is that knack I see?
nikhg KNACK IS BACK BAAABY WOOOOO
I think the reasons why they hate this game is because of the switch because it ran lower frames per seconds than the other consoles because it was great on the ps4 not saying the Nintendo Switch is bad I think it’s great but I just think so
You might have to read the reviews to understand
While that was something a lot of Switch owners criticized, the game is hated mostly for it's story and straight-line gameplay. I don't personally hate it, I think it's ok, but most outright hate the game without any nuance. They also complain that it was a lower FPS compared to Lost World which was 60, failing to realize that Forces was developed with more powerful hardware in mind than Lost World.
1. Video begins with a giant enemy crab
2. An actually decent, and very fair Sonic review with no excessive hyperbole
3. "For everything else Sonic The Hedgehog, keep it here with IGN, where everyone loves Sonic!"
[Shitposting level]: *INFINITE*
At least it’s a fair review
Keanozz 911 Yeah. I was expecting them to give it a 5/10 lol.
+★ Froggie Animation ★ True
-Despite me being a sonic fan-
★ Froggie Animation ★ My god, why do I find Nintendroids everywhere I go?
Why am I here when I know they’re gonna bash this game to pieces?
Edit:Is Polygon the new IGN. Was IGN actually liking Forces a bit, or am I imagining things?
The Sonic 24 right
Since when is 6.9 "bashing"? It's a point off from being "good" on their scale
The Sonic 24 What are you talking about? They gave it a 6,9 that is insanely good for a sonic 3d game. Ign is being nice.
The Sonic 24 curiosity that's why
Anton M
They gave Gens and Colors both an 8.5, so 3d sonic getting good scores isn't anything new.
This is a pretty fair review, even by IGN standards.
damn IGN that was actually a solid review
How do they give this game a higher than sonic lost world for wii u. Lost world was a much better game than this and had more replayability.
These are different reviewers, so they'll have different thoughts.
“Sonic was never good” - IGN
“Sonic was never good” -only four people at IGN and not everybody at IGN.
Only one person said that
From this review: "At least it's not like Sonic '06."
There was no point of him bringing that up
i don't think anyone can say this review is bad or biased.... it is very much fair, and the game is definitely hit or miss not to bad for Sega this year... hopefully they implement patches that iron out a lot of stage bugs. and give us "free" dlc to justify and appease the very short and somewhat clunky stages... Good review IGN
"For everything else sonic related, keep it here at IGN, WHERE EVERYONE LOVES SONIC" LMAO
I love this game the music is amazing and levels are okay but they need make the levels more longer but I do love that you can make your own character so I give this game 8/10
The music is below average...just like the entire game
@@NativefallYeah Some music are average that I do agree with you and this game could've been better but it wasn't
10/10 will drive Arin crazy and leave Dan to pick up the pieces
This is a very legitimate and fair review. The reviewer was able to find some positives and negatives in the game to be as unbiased as possible. 6.9 is also a pretty good review score, rounding up to a 7/10/ Thanks IGN for being fair this time
Mr. Game and Tomsta Yup. I was expecting them to give it a 5/10 lmao.
So the story is basically a sonic fanfic. Your OC saving Sonic.
Andrew Carmichael its much better than combiner wars
Great review Heidi Kemps!!! Hope to see more reviews written by you
I freakin' loved that score 6.9! Good job IGN!
What really bothers me is the step backwards in cutscenes.
Antech glad I'm not the only one who thought they looked worse
Myre Haha yeah. The lighting is really bad. It's like toon shaders and the mouth movements are unnatural.
It's animated a lot better compared to other games imo. But there are a few cutscenes that look very pixelated, it's very distracting.
Antech i will say the backwards has 9/11 , because of too much explosions in the background xD.
Things have always been going backwards since Unleashed in that regard.
Fair review, but why did you give it a 6.9? A perfect 7 looks SO much better than 6.9.
Niles Dobbs because 69 jokes
★ Froggie Animation ★ its definitely not a D+ its a C- to C
FPGNinja157 while super Mario Odyssey is an A+
Ciri Callejas more like a B-
Ciri Callejas s*
Sonic mania is a better game so far
We're not Joking.
Sonic Mania is the best Sonic game so far.
Colbert Awesome water is wet
Colbert Awesome Odyssey beats both tho
duh
Anyways, back to the 10/10 Super Mario Odyssey...
69 fair enough. We all expected more but after hearing that the new team isn't that experienced in making sonic levels I kinda understand why this game wasn't that amazing. The new engine and experience throughout developing this game could mean there's a lot of great potential for a sequel.
Hmmm I would rate it a 7.5 but I guess 6.9 is ok
Didn't age well, especially since I used to think the same thing.
Seems a fair review. I would give it a 7/10 as well. There's nothing inherently wrong with the game except for the level design in some levels. Definitely a step back from Generations and Colors
KratosTheHedgehog24 Yeah next time Sonic Team needs to put more people on the next game because this game had less people working on it than every 3D Sonic game after Unleashed.
Opinions man. Everyone's got them. Besides a 6.9 and a 7 are basically the same thing.
I would love a Sonic game developed by Nintendo, I feel like sega just doesn't know how to make sonic completely work in a 3d space.
Joshua Hernandez No. Nintendo is about exploration, Sega is about the speed.
The Bep not sure if you know what you are talking about.
Joshua Hernandez Yeah maybe they need a new team all together. Maybe not have Nintendo take of cuz thats just...no not saying they would do a bad job just no.
The Legendary Golden Flash yea, I just said Nintendo cause they are awesome at making 2d and 3d platformers and Sonic as a character fits in with Nintendo; even though back in the 90s I would have never said that. But yea, any new team to handle this Ip might be good for it.
No sonic mania and no christain white head and shutting down fan projects... Sounds like a paradise!
Sooo... Frontiers got "almost" the same grade as Forces????
Remember these are 2 different reviewer because ign isn't 1 person.
@ahmedhasan4966 This one is a man with a girls name hahaha
Atleast they where honest. We need constructive criticism, not hate, mostly because a big part of the team never made a game before. As a first time game, it's good, and I hope they let this team improve and make another game.
Damn no matter how fast Sonic runs, he can never catch a break.
I swear the war part was hands down the funniest part in the game.Everyone was trying their hardest and shadow was just flying around XD
This a more fair score than those losers over at Sonic Stadium gave it.
True. I still like the game, but, according to the Sonic Stadium, liking Sonic Forces is considered a crime.
sonic forces isn't good tho
Daiyusha it’s just ok. Not best but certainly not the worst
The mediocre sonic game got more than the amazing sonic unleashed... let that sink in.
There needs to be a proper 3D sonic that's more like Mario Odyssey, or any of the past 3D Mario games but with sections for speed too. In this game the actual level is very basic and nothing special at all. The backgrounds on the other hand has a lot of stuff going on. You can tell the designers spent the majority of the time making the BACKGROUNDS look good and detailed, even though you can't go there. Then the actual level is tacked on with a hand full of bricks.
Ultimately, we just need more 2D sonic games like Sonic Mania. Some games are really meant for 2D. Or even have the graphics all 3D, but with 2D gameplay like seen in parts of this game or like how modern Donkey Kong Country games are.
TroutButter the real problem about the Sonic 3D platform, was that Sonic 06 kinda messed it up, honestly a remake of that game with time, would actually be a really good adaptation to the Sonic Universe! Besides, its bot a bad game, just lacked every second of time.
But then what's the point? Mario is a 3D sandbox. Sonic's level of speed does not work in that scenario.
As long as Sonic's in the hands of these incompetent developers who insist on going backward (from Generations) rather than forward, it won't matter if he's in 2D or 3D. Sega need to get new developers or more fans on board.
Samir Malik wasnt 2d sonic Sandbox too? Green Hill zone as example. And i mean, if sega would want to make a proprer 3d sonic, they would need to tranform this 2d sonic Sandbox style to 3d. I honestly think adventure 1 did that the best, at twinkle park at a certain place you could spindash up and skip 2/3 of the act
TroutButter No. Sonic can be good in 3d. Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and Sonic Generations are proof of that.
You know after playing the game for myself I can see that game for me is 7.5/10. It's not perfect by no means, but it's a lot better than some of the other games like Lost World and Sonic Boom games. It's been really hard for me to trust any opinions good or bad because of the toxicity that the fanbase showed off recently. So it's nice to see a good review without any bias or toxicity for once.
E1ite Yoshi I find Lost World a better game simply because it just feels complete.
Not bad for $40
Iggsy81 You know a few other games that were $40 when it was released that was fantastic? Ratchet and Clank PS4 and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Granted I still had fun with Forces.
Still not even worth $40. The campaign is only 3-4 hours long.
Being realistic, i think the fair price for this game is around 20,25,30$.
★ Froggie Animation ★
We all know
this game is not good and it has his fails, bur it's not trash,the real trash is the Butsy of Ps4 xD.
And that's what Modern Sonic is about too. Why play a game about speed and not try and get the fastest time possible? That's where the real fun is. Plus, it really looks cool when you perfect a stage and play it.
3/10 " much faster " - IGN
Pedro Neto 9/11 , too much explosions in the buildings.
Sonic can't let go of sonic colors, every single game has the aliens now.
I personally really liked this game despite my prejudices. It felt like a movie and a video game had a baby. I also liked the Sonic Mania tie-in.
Not worth $40 but definitely worth around $20-$30.
A hope Sega is watching this because I actually a agree with some of this. If they make a dlc that extends the levels I will be satisfied.
A fair review. I loved this game and would give it a 9.5 out of 10 but I actually smiled during this review because IGN actually gave it a fair review with fair points.
★ Froggie Animation ★
See a doctor.
K
HEADS GROW BACK i would give it a 9 to i loved this game😍😍😍
I give it 8.5. it's the potential loss is what made it a little bad for me
HIERARCHY 9.5? Jesus your standards are low
Wow IGN actually saying something nice about Sonic for the first time ever?
What about sonic mania
Nintendo: Super Mario Odyssey!
Sega: OC Simulator.
Btw, noice review. 6.9 👌
the only reason this was an accurate review was because they actually finished the game this time
