Well Sonic Mania is basically unplayable for me. I'm getting serious motion sickness from it. It sucks because I really like it but there's no way I can enjoy because I feel super dizzy and nauseous after playing it for a few minutes. This has never happened to me with any other game I'm a huge fan of the originals too. Oh well

Beat the game entirely.
All three characters have all 7 Chaos Emeralds, and I got all 32 Blue Sphere Gold Medals.
To me... there just wasn't that much going on, but it's something you can replay months later.

Played Sonic Forces for a little while today at EGX and from what I played (level & Boss) it's pretty damn good
It was basically a classic 2D sonic game with modern graphics, Can't ask for any more than that.

Hasn't been mentioned here, but Sonic Forces will have a prologue DLC where you play as Shadow.

Oh yeah, wanna know another botch caused by the DRM? If you pre-ordered the game on Steam, you got a bonus emulated copy of Sonic 1, which is considered pointless because that's like £1 so mot Sonic fans have it, or some kind of copy of Sonic 1 anyway. Except the day they gave people the Sonic 1 copy is the day the clock started on the 2 week Steam return window, so now noone can return the damn game! I swear Sonic never get a break. It like Sega seen this Sonic game that everyone actually like and figure they need to somehow mess it up because dear god we can't have a Sonic game in 2017 without some bullshit attach to it. It's frustrating because people generally love Mania but they've just added in a DRM scheme that hurts more than it helps and actively makes computers run worse.

A patch is coming that will fix the home button glitch for the switch, plus add a "Super" button. So no longer will it be tied to the jump.

So, Sonic Forces was released today (to almost no fanfare, by the way); has anyone given it a shot yet? I've heard some... not great things about it and wanted to wait until some more reviews have come out/more reactions from people.

I've heard some... not great things about it and wanted to wait until some more reviews have come out/more reactions from people. Aside from the obvious "Original Creation: Do Not Steal" aspect of the fanbase with the Recruit, it apparently suffers from the Unleashed formula of bad segments outweighing the good. I know some people are going to be very upset for bringing this up, but the Sonic Cycle reared its ugly head once more.

I've heard some... not great things about it and wanted to wait until some more reviews have come out/more reactions from people. I'd play the first 3 level so far which means I'd play a Modern, Classic and Avatar stage and it kind of a disappointment compare to Mania and Odyssey. The avatar is really nothing special and pretty much a gimmick, Classic feel like shit compare to Mania and Modern feel like a huge step back from generation. It feel more like a app store endless runner then a Sonic game. I was hoping for a good game especially after Sonic Mania but it just another average 3D Sonic Game.

I've heard some... not great things about it and wanted to wait until some more reviews have come out/more reactions from people. It varies. Some people have shit on it, Jim Sterling gave it a pretty positive review and basically said it was not as good as Generations, but better than most modern efforts, for what that's worth. I think I'll maybe pick it up sometime for funsies, but honestly, I am just glad it has more or less fit what I was hoping for. No major bugs or sloppiness I've seen, a batshit storymode which I mean, par for the course with Sonic games from Adventure on, and apparently a f***ton of unlockable costume parts you can get. I can live with that, especially in a world where we just got Sonic Mania, anyway, and 3D fans needed a decent game after the half-assed effort that was Sonic Heroes.

I can't get into sonic mania, levels seem to cluttered and overly complex. Sonic 2 is still My favourite because it just seemed simple and cleaner. Less gimmicks just fast and platforming.

Everything I see on Forces seems to point to it being another okayish 3d sonic game.
It's not Rise of Lyric or 06 bad... but it's not particularly good... and even the positive reviews call the story pretty bad.
Not played it so I can't weigh in myself.
Mania on the other hand I had fun with for a bit too but I got to a point and lost all interest in it.

It seens all they got from Sonic generations is "3d and 2d sonic,same game,great" Forgot about the cheerful aesthestic(even if the military one isn't bad) ,the simple gameplay and world hub.the fast paced levels. I just watched the OC levels and they don't seem like they were even design with then in mind. it seemed like a Sonic level and they just threw the OC in there. Still seems to control well,so that is good.

It better then Sonic Boom and 06, not as good as Color and Generation but a disappointment compare to Mania. At this point, average is pretty much what your going to get from a 3D Sonic game.

Forces is suffering especially because in a year of Mario Odyssey, and Sonic Mania, "middling Modern Sonic title" just stands out even more as flawed.
If nothing else Sega needs to s*** or get off the pot about 3D Sonic. Either do a game built around him (with stuff like Red Rings, multiple paths, and 3D Mario world esque variation with different characters), or do a full blown game around stuff like the Avatar. Splitting the main games into two halves or thirds just weakens the overall experience and wastes development time that could be utilized to build a solid core game.
At the very least let Classic Sonic live via the Mania series and nowhere else. He worked in Generations as a celebration, but there's very little indication the company understands the strengths of 2D Sonic anymore.
