Games Asylum: "The storyline in Sonic’s latest adventure could have easily existed within the Archie comic universe. After one of Eggman’s plans finally comes together, Sonic is taken captive and locked away in an off-world prison. The hedgehog’s homeland soon descends into chaos once Eggman’s army takes control, prompting Tails, Knuckles, Silver, and Team Chaotix to form a band of freedom fighters.
From a secret base they formulate strategies to take back captured zones and counterattack Eggman’s forces, hence the crimson-hued ‘generic Che Guevara T-shirt’ style presentation"

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.
