With the rise of platforming titles coming to living rooms this year, the popular blue blur – Sonic the Hedgehog – has not one, but two new releases. The first – Sonic Mania – delivered and unprecedented run through with what made the original series standout among the rest of the herd. Now with the second release – Sonic Forces – right around the corner, Sega will try to keep fans engaged and boldly return to the 3D playing field.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
Game Rant Writes "Sonic Forces is now five years old, and while it has plenty of flaws, there are things the 2017 release handles well enough to affect future games."
Sega aims to release 2D Sonic games alongside the 3D ones each year, but it's questionable how the company plans to continue this trend.
