About
Sonic Forces (2017) is a fast-paced action platformer that lets you control Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, and your own Custom Hero Character as you race through ruined landscapes destroyed by Dr. Eggman and a mysterious new villain. The game combines classic side-scrolling platformer action with modern speed sequences, drawing from the successful formulas of Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. It's designed to appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers with its blend of gameplay styles and accessibility.
Sonic Forces is an accessible title that doesn't demand high-end hardware to run smoothly. You'll need at least 4 GB of RAM and an entry-level GPU with a score around 3900 to meet minimum requirements, which most gaming rigs from the past several years can handle. For solid FPS performance and better graphics settings, a mid-range GPU will give you smooth gameplay at 1080p with room to spare. Performance benchmarks show the game scales well across different hardware configurations, making it easy to achieve consistent frame rates.
With a mixed critical reception of 55/100, Sonic Forces offers decent entertainment for action platformer fans, though it may not appeal to everyone. If you enjoy fast-paced Sonic gameplay and custom character creation, it's worth trying, but manage expectations accordingly.
Performance profile
November 2017 release. Sonic Forces was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Sonic Forces is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Sonic Forces; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
The game follows Sonic the Hedgehog as a member of a resistance force against Doctor Eggman, who has taken over the world with the help of his robot army and a mysterious new villain known as Infinite. Gameplay is similar to Sonic Generations with players controlling "Classic" and "Modern" versions of the titular character; the former plays from a 2.5D side-scrolling view reminiscent of the original Sonic games on the Sega Genesis, while the latter uses three-dimensional gameplay similar to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. In addition to the two Sonics, Sonic Forces also introduces a third gameplay mode featuring the "Avatar", the player's own custom character.
