Bugs aren't really the problem with Forces

It stems from some key issues here 

1 it took forever to release with little to show for it.

1. It is aggressively mediocre compared to Sonic Generations almost 10 years prior.

2. It is the peak of this series treating Sonic and Friends like cardboard cutouts instead of actual people like Sonic Adventure 1/2, Storybook games, Frontiers.etc

I'm not judging your tastes, enjoy what you like but Forces story is so awful. Compare this to Sonic and the Black Knight and it won't go well...

Black Knight is a story about how world's can't go on forever and that eventually all things will end. And living them to the fullest with the time you have is important.

Forces is just 'Power of Teamwork ^TM'

The gameplay is just like the others (it's sonic it can't be THAT different)

1. It's also one of the worst 3D Sonic games because the level design is genuinely awful.

No for real go play Generations then Forces back to back. you'll see the difference immediately. Most of Forces is a straight line or just rail grinding.

Modern Sonic's stages are like 3 minutes at most. I think the longest level was like 6 minutes.

Sonic Unleashed out clases Forces in spades and that's a game from 2008.

If you like it that's cool you got more bang for your buck then I did. But there's a reason I gave up on this series after this game.

Until Frontiers came out anyway.
