![]() Other gripes include Episode Shadow, which acts like a prequel, and when beaten, unlocks Shadow for play in Modern Sonic's stages (the episode only has three stages, and Shadow is nothing more than a reskin of Sonic) and the fact that Classic Sonic was put in this game to link it to Sonic Mania (and solidify the game's entry as an anniversary title). Sadly, these are insulting easy, as some will require you to change a certain article of clothing on your Avatar. However, to ease the grinding, the game adds daily challenges that will add a score multiplier when completed. While completionists and achievement hunters will find this nice, others will find it excessive and boring. Also, some of the challenges can be a bit grindy, with some ranging from killing a certain number of enemies with a certain Wispon, to getting a certain medal rank as a certain species. Sadly, another problem is the game can be beaten very quickly if you decide to go straight to the goal, with it being extended only if one decides to go for the collectibles like Red Star Rings that are hidden in almost every level. Each one controls differently (the Avatars have a wire attack and can use Wispons, Sonic has his usual homing attack and can boost using white wisps, and Classic Sonic plays like he did in Sonic Generations). Some stages have Sonic and the Avatar teaming up. Depending on the stage, you play as Sonic, Classic Sonic, or the Avatar. As for customization, don't expect to make a perfect replica of characters like Sally Acorn or any other non-game character, because the customization has it where shirt and pants are one single outfit, and females are forced to wear bodysuits (although you can make it the same color as the skin, but it will still show). You are limited to one Avatar until you beat the story, and customization options are limited from the start, as new clothing and Wispons are unlocked as you progress through the story as well as complete specific tasks. However, one of the problems with it is how limited the selections are. So, the game allows you to create your own character for use in Avatar stages as well as the stages where he/she teams up with Sonic. Once you make your Avatar (as the game will call it), he or she is sent on a mission to break Sonic out, eventually leading to the two teaming up, Also, Classic Sonic joins the fight, coming to the Modern Sonic dimension due the events of Sonic Mania. However, they get a new member, the Rookie, which is a character you get to create using one of seven different species, each having a special ability, and being able to use Wispons, weapons using wisps' color powers without needing the wielder to transform. The story sounds a lot like Sonic SatAM, but getting rid of characters like Sally Acorn and replacing them with the game cast. After Sonic's defeat and imprisonment in space, Eggman goes on to take over 99% of the planet, but Knuckles forms a resistance, alongside some of Sonic's friends, to fight back. Eggman has created a new scheme to take over the world, and after the first stage, Sonic is defeated by the mad scientist, especially since he has the aid of Infinite, a new villain for this game. ![]() Jonathon Dornbush is an associate editor.As a person who owns this game and played it, I do agree it does have problems, but they never bothered me. This year will also see the release of Sonic Mania, IGN had a chance to preview Sonic Forces gameplay during GDC 2017. Sega first announced Sonic Forces in 2016, revealing the full name earlier this year. The character creation feature is a first for the franchise, as the player-designed Hero will be featured in cutscenes and be "a crucial element in helping Sonic reclaim the world from Eggman’s domination." The Wispons are unique gadgets that can be used both as weapons and for traversing through levels. Each customized Hero will have a grappling hook as a means of platforming, and the characters can be customized further via Wispons, which are a new take on the Color Powers from Sonic Colors.
