the furfuckers have money and are a very loyal fanbase, so by making the games that OG fans want, and the games that MLP fans want, sega is having their zootopia and eating it too.With how Sonic Mania was so well-received, I'm wondering why Sega doesn't just switch to simple retro 2D sonic entirely. Doesn't seem like Sonic Forces has given 3D sonic much more credit than before.
Come to think of it, when was the last good 3D Sonic after Sonic Adventures?
I don't think 3D Sonic is unsalvegable, but I have zero faith in Sonic Team's ability.
Sonic Adventures was never good either, imo.
Best Sonic games post Sonic 3, other than Mania, are most of the handheld ones.
Sonic Colors/ Sonic Generations are really good 3D Sonic games. Lost World was fun.
The issue is that there is now more cruddy 3D Sonic games than superb ones, and The Hedge now has a reputation for embarrassing 3D games, rather than solid platforming.
First 06, then Boom and now Forces. I didn't mind Forces, it was tolerable, but after Cuphead, Mania, The Crash Bandicoot reboot, and Mario Odyssey, there's no excuse. 0%.
Sega needs to understand that a quick average game, rushed out for The Holidays does more hurt to the Hedgehog than anything else. If that means Mania 2 and Mania 3, then ok, better than another Boom, Forces or 06. Plus 2D Sonic has been solid for about 15 years now ? It's just been on the GBA, DS, or 3DS or something. The Rush games and Advance games are beauts.
A fun...well notsofun fact is that 90% of the people behind Forces were entirely new faces.I'd rather have a different staff trying the next Sonic game because our beloved hedgehog clearly doesn't deserve this.
I agree with most of your gripes about the game except for the part about character introductions here. I'm not sure how far you are in the story so I won't spoil anything, but the plot shoehorns the characters because the threat here is pretty much something everyone is heavily involved with from a story point of view. It would be even more of an issue if these characters weren't in this game at all given the setup. Silver is the only character in the game that truly needs some sort of introduction as to what he's even doing in this game's timeline. Please don't strike the game for something you, as the player, haven't been keeping up with as far as the characters and world in the series go, especially if most if not all of these characters were already introduced in previous mainline titles.The story is a mess. Characterisation was never one of Sonic's strong points and it's been a while since I played some of the older (PS2) games and I haven't played every game, but I have no idea who a lot of the people (friends and enemies) even are and why they hate Sonic. I mean, I repeat, it's a Sonic game, story doesn't have to be good but since they obviously put so much emphasis on the story, I feel they should've introduced these characters SOMEHOW and not mash everyone in and hope for the best.
So much on my part. I don't hate the game (yet) but it's definitely not the Sonic I've been waiting for since Sonic Generations. Let's see what it still holds in store.

Forces is pretty much a mess though, I'll agree on that.
