@Yaldabaoth Forces was made less bad by the fact that they kept most of the levels shorts
Otherwise it's still pretty bad all around. 2D is disgusting, noisy, barely works. Boost is annoying. Game feels unfinished to the point where the downloadable Shadow stages that are just normal stages with added shit actually felt better
@coolboymew It's a lot shorter to list positives about the game. I thought the city areas and a few others looked cool. Some were green hill again or assets slapped together. The soundtrack has a few bangers but most of it isn't memorable which is a tragedy
@Yaldabaoth yeah, definitively. Not the worst but a lot of it is saved through sheer dev restrain. Making 90% of the stages very short was basically the best idea they've had here. Instead of making it 06 awful with giant terrible levels that never ends, the shorter stages makes it much more digestible
I still wouldn't quite recommend the game, but as a game that is in the Sonic humble bundle that you get it along with everything else, or for 5ish bux? Yeah, worth a play I guess
@coolboymew I have the hot take that I would still rather play 06. It is stupid as fuck and unfinished but has a banger soundtrack and cool art direction for levels. Also Forces is irony poisoned
Forces level design is often just Straight Line Zone too which is boring. 06 can be very frustrating but you can use gems to fly over some of the BS or clip through walls
@coolboymew I made evil levels. The least loved one I had it be in the largest possible area and it's just blocks back and forth the entire length you have to go through. Then it teleports you to part 2 which is identical. I could have made it worse by making it underwater but I already did that for my underwater tunnel that forces you to be a goomba and I put a scream sound on every square
