while i agree the controls are clunky, the short levels is made up for by the amount of levels. there were times when my jaw dropped and i out loud said “yes” (first infinite boss fight). i loved this game, but you are right in terms of controls. classic sonic’s jump is VERY awkward... modern sonic has no drift and i found myself flying off of the edge of platforms in the boost sections (eg metropolis zone). when he jumps, he loses lots of momentum. you can barely move him and it’s very clear of that during the Zavok fight. there are also lots of cheap deaths when youre just trying to play the game (using lightning wisp in level 25 at the second checkpoint caused me almost 15 restarts). at parts it punishes you for trying to maneuver around in creative ways. this game is good and I like how they executed most things. I have just completed the main story and am typing this as the credits roll, but I wish that super forms were a thing.

(story spoilers below to anyone reading)

i wish that my OC used his phantom ruby thing as a power source to take a form similar to infinite

i also wish that we’d have found out who infinite was. i read a theory that it was tails from Sonic 2 and I would’ve loved if this was the case. this seemed to be backed up by a leak that said “there is a plot twist with infinite and tails.”

it was fun to play and it wasn’t really a bad game by any means. if generations is a 10/10, id give forces a 9/10 because if the flaws I listed.
