Mark my words in 2027 people will consider Sonic Forces a masterpiece There’s an unspoken rule that every Sonic game is considered garbage until all the people who played it when they were eight grow up and get really nostalgiac for it. Actually enjoyed it more than Colors for some reason. It’s the last Sonic game with a good original story 🤷‍♂️ and the gameplay and visuals are still fun to play through, and the amount of content is outstanding 👌

They force the player to play other side levels and collect them in order to progress. Werehog itself was fine but his levels were boring because they were long. The game is good but definitely not the best in the series. A large part of the affection for that game is the fan service, and the good qualities that aren’t fanservice are built off of Unleashed’s already incredibly solid foundation anyway. It was awful, the concept and premise was fucking bizarre and the combat and platforming was just weird and offputting. I got to a point where I just couldn’t play anymore.

It’s honestly the best we had in the last 15 yearsĮnjoyed it but the level system wasn’t great for me and it has possibly my least favourite final boss. GreatwhiteStudios Hollywood🇺🇸🎁 🎄 November 20, 2019īut only on the xbox one x, cause it can run at an actually playable framerate It’s a ok game, The day stages are fun to blast through and werehog stages are fine however collecting sun and moon metals are a pain and it makes the werehog levels slow and boring to play through over and over again That and they ruined the music everytime you got in a fight. Great looking levels, controls needed tweaking which Generations improved on! The Sun and Moon levels where unnecessary and time wasters! The story was great and great music! I actually like the werehog!Ĭoming off of Sonic 2006 (I didn’t get a wii till a few years later, so I didn’t play those Sonic games till afterwards) was a mixed bag. Here are other hot takes from other Twitter users on Sonic Unleashed legacy, over a decade later: Though, that passion and ambition can’t overcome its flaws. I like to see it as a game with a lot of passion and ambition. Linkabel shows his respect for the passion behind Sonic Unleashed: Suffers from too much filler and frustrating game design, but at least the ambition can be appreciated on principle. SEGAbits’ resident Spicy Boy FlareHabanero says: It could take up to half an hour to complete some of those stages! One thing that a lot of people forget was how long Werewolf stages in Sonic Unleashed got.

Also, since the Hedgehog Engine was new, lot of bugs and physics issues kept the game from being great. And there Werehog was fine, just didnt need the gameplay to be 5x longer than the day stages. SEGAbits contributor Dakota weighs in on Sonic Unleashed‘s legacy:Īs for the game, the level design in the daytime was mostly well done. But maybe all these years later, gamers have become more forgiving? It seems over half of our audience considers the game to be good to great, with only 11% expressing that Sonic Unleashed was bad. It seems that most people think fondly of Sonic Unleashed, which upon release got mixed reviews from websites mostly due to its Werewolf aspect. Sonic Unleashed turns 11 years old today, it came out on the Xbox 360 in North America! What is your hot take on the game? (3 hour poll, will be doing a article on the results later):

First we had a 3 hour long poll that got 459 votes and hot takes from fans: To celebrate, I asked on Twitter what our audience thought about Sonic Unleashed, all these 11 years later. At the same time it was also the start of focusing on Sonic and abandoning the friends that became mainstay since the release of Sonic Adventure. SEGA’s Sonic Unleashed was a very important game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was the birth of a brand new ‘boost Sonic’ formula that would extend to Sonic Colors, Generations and even the latest Forces video game.
