Sonic Generations I understand givne while it is still canon to the lore, it was more of a tribute game. But again in Forces? I dunno. Seems milking it a bit and didn't feel as enthusiastic for his return as I did for Sonic Generations.

I'm also concerned over the fact this is Sonic's fourth adventure centered on time travel. And while 2 of those games were successful, I'm still concerned that the story of Sonic Forces will still be as convoluting when it comes to time travel as Sonic '06 was and I'd rather it won't be.

All the more reason why I am hoping Time Stones would be the collectible mcguffins of the story than just yo-yoing around past and alternate timelines with chaos control or time machines. Worst case scenario, if Sonic Forces turns out to be lackluster, Sonic Mania might end up being the one game that hits its mark. I'm more optimistic about that game than I am with Sonic Forces.
