Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
This game blows, but-
Ok let's be honest, this game was really bad. But there are some good things that came from this bad idea of a game. First off the soundtrack, HOLY JESUS this is a great soundtrack. The themes of Sonic and Silver are really good and the song used in the final cut scene in Shadow's story always pumps me up sometimes. Second, the main villain, Mephiles. He is the villain Infinite wished he was. And he is the first and possibly only person to have killed sonic successfully. He is honestly my favorite sonic villain yet, (apart from eggman of course). Third, a couple scenes have some badass in them. Don't worry I checked my pulse I'm still with us. A couple scenes from the game seemed really cool. One example would be the final cut scene in Shadow's story of course. Just watch it and you'll see why. But the flaws are godawful. Mostly Elise, she's just princess peach but worse and would let the world die rather than forget her lover. Yeah, that happens. After Sonic is killed and the chaos emeralds are found to revive him, the game just pulls a sleeping beauty and have Elise kiss sonic back to life. Then when the final boss is defeated, the flame of Solaris is supposed to be blown out so everything would go back to normal. But Elise refuses cause she'd forget about sonic. Luckily she realizes zoophilia is illegal and blows the fire away causing the game to be now no longer canon or something. Frankly, don't buy this game unless you're that curious as to how bad it is. The cons outweigh the pros like weighing a flower with a 10 ton weight
Sonic Forces (2017)
It tries and almost succeeds
Honestly, this game is a mix. While there's some bad moments like certain controls or plot holes. The rest of the game is decent. Sure it's a letdown for Sonic's 25th anniversary compared to mania, but when looked at alone it's surprisingly fun to play. Playing as 3 characters is a great refreshment for the series. Sure two of them are sonic and one is a character customization result, but at least we get more playstyles. My only complaint is that the main villain Infinite is just bad. His reason for becoming evil is because Shadow called him weak. That's as if someone tracked down a random YouTuber just because they commented "KYS lol." also the rest of infinite is just the "Evil dark and edgy" stereotype we all know but don't like. He's basically a Great Value Shadow that's past the expiration date. The soundtrack is great about 75-85% of the time, the level design isn't bad due to the fact only 3 people worked on it, the free dlc "Episode Shadow" is fun and I'm honestly glad to play as shadow after so long. If you want to get this game, get it when it's on sale because even though for me it's one of my favorite sonic games, it still has some minimal problems that can be fixed.
