I did not enjoy playing this game. I hated the physics so much. I'd barely move if I tried a standing jump and if I had even the smallest of running jumps I'd go flying across the screen. Stopping in mid air was practically impossible unless I was as fast as a snail. The same goes for turing mid air.
The only things I actually liked about this game were the music and bosses. This game is something I'd recommend playing through once and never again. Overall I'd give it a 3/10.
Part 1/12: Development
Alrighty folks, as I stated previously, I am working on an essay on how a Sonic Forces remake could be done, and make the game into a masterpiece. Part 1 of this essay will focus on development of the game: the resourses needed, time it could take, and the goal. For the sake of clarification, we'll call the remake Sonic Forces Reborn

Sonic Forces, though it sold decently, is widely considered by the fanbase to be another bad Sonic game. The level design was minimal, the story, though decent, had glaring flaws, and the customizable avatar playing a major role in the game ended up being quite controversial. However, the game did have some strong points, such as the visuals and level props and backdrops being very high in quality, and the soundtrack has been highly praised. the game was a spectacle, but not much more to the fans.
In order to make full use of the potential this game had, Sonic Team could take advantage of the feedback and what fans thought it would be and recreate the game as if it were a completely new one, using the models and engine with a few tweaks of course.
Development time should be the 3-5 years, about the same amount of time it would take to make a new game. And Sega should provide the funds as if they were making a new game as well. however, all the models and the visuals and sound are still viable, they can be reused, enabling the team to focus even more heavily on the gameplay, story and level design, even more so then they would for their other Sonic games. Of course, they can still make a few changes to those things, like adding a bit more detail on the models, adding a few things to enhance the visuals, and making additional remixes for some of the music.
For story specifically, having Ian Flynn head up a writing team consisting of writers from previous Sonic game, also including Dan Rossati, and maybe even Evan Stanley would assure the story ends up being a treat for Sonic fans.
Tell me your thoughts and suggestions for edits or ideas below. Next I'll cover gameplay.

First of all, first time here, I don't know if this is the right area
The Egg Dragoon (Sonic Forces) profile says in its Trivia section:
"
According to Dr. Eggman at the start of the fight, the Egg Dragoon is only 10% weaker than its last incarnation, though Tails states that he is bluffing. Eggman neither properly confirms nor denies the accusation.[2]
When he says this also depended on how the player managed to beat the prior form: If the player beat the prior form while Eggman was still talking to Tails, the player has to only land the first hit on Egg Dragoon for him to make this claim. If the player beats the prior form after Eggman has finished talking with Tails, he will make this claim at the start of the fight.
"
Well I wanted to confirm this and after searching for a while on youtube (because the fight against the Egg mobile is so easy that everyone beat it before they finish talking) I found that it doesn't change anything? (13:23 - 14:01)
It may have been added in some update later, (The info was added on November 26, 2017) but I wanted to ask if anyone can confirm or deny the veracity of that.
Please and Thanks!
Top 5 vocal tracks imo this sh(adow) rocks hard! I love how Linkin Park it sounds.
Also shout-out to Tyler for producing so many amazing songs for bands like Falling In Reverse and I Prevail, and of course for Sonic songs 😉
Was there ever a confirmation that the unnamed Resistance soldier for Sonic Forces: Moment of Truth is the Avatar from Sonic Forces? The article treats it as such but their the stories contradict each other a lot:
In Sonic Forces, Charmy says the Avatar is the Resistance’s newest recruit but the soldier in Moment of Truth is implied to have been a part of the Resistance for a while (They’re still stated to be a Rookie)
In Moment of Truth, the soldiers is given his first Wispon by Espio in a village, while in Sonic Forces they’re given their first Wispon by Knuckles in the Resistance HQ
The Chaotix meet the soldier in Moment of Truth, but Sonic Forces, they act like they’ve never met them
There’s no place it can take place on the timeline assuming the soldier is the Avatar

I) What happened to the wiki? Why has the colour of some things change to lilac? I understand the background image change from time to time, due to recently known or released content. But what happened to change the colours as well? Is it bc of the new year?
II) Ok, this one can be either stupid or annoying, anyone you wanna call it, but I just have to ask: Why do you ppl dislike Sonic Forces so much? I haven't played the game, yes, infact I haven't even checked the story or cutscenes of the game on yt. All Ik is that classic sonic is there, so is silver and the main villains are eggman and infinite. What happened in or to the game that made it you guys to dislike it so much?
