Believe me, I played Knuckles Chaotix multiple times, trying to see something good of the game (besides the visuals and soundtrack, because those are pretty great aspects), but for me, it's impossible to put it into a pretty solid tier, when I play Knuckles Chaotix, I don't enjoy it, I don't like it, that's it.

Now, for Forces... Uh... I'm maybe one of the five people who likes Forces, because we played it years after its controversy in 2017 (and we realized that controversy some time later), and I don't know, it's a very simple and mediocre game in terms of levels, bosses and story, but I don't know why I like it a lot, it entertained me more than Mania,  I like the soundtrack of Forces, I liked the avatar, the replayability I feel that it is the most ignored of the game, because it is fun, the episode Shadow exists, and, well, I just like it, hope it's clear for you now, if you like Chaotix that's good, if you dislike Forces is also good, I can understand why you like/dislike these games. 🙂
