To answer our initial question, Sonic Forces hasn’t managed to convince us that it is a must-play title in the series, but has at least alleviated some of our initial fears. A relatively short five-hour or so campaign, a lack of difficulty that ramps up unexpectedly on the final boss, and the non-coherent blend of 3D sequences, 2D sections and cutscenes make Sonic Forces a mixed experience, with positive moments undone by weaker areas.
It isn’t poor as many feared, and for children it could well be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. For the ‘hardcore’ (and likely slightly older) generation of Sonic fans, though, perhaps it’s best to accept that - for better or worse - Sonic isn’t what it used to be. Stick with Sonic Mania for classic Sonic fun, and let Forces attract a new, younger audience.

I tried. I really, really tried to enjoy Sonic Forces. It's certainly not a bad game; it has some interesting ideas, and it manages to squeeze a PS4-optimized title onto Nintendo Switch well enough. The voice acting is a highlight. I had fun for a fair amount of my time with it.
The problem is that so, so much of this game is basically an interactive movie, full of QTEs (button press prompts) and minimal player control. Then, there are the boss fights, which tend to get tedious quickly.
I finally gave up after wasting far too much time on Mission 19, a protracted fight with Metal Sonic. I realized it had become a chore. Sonic Forces is far from the worst Sonic game, but it's not great, either.
Recommended only for the most hardcore of Sonic fans.
