I love how Forces was the breaking point for many Sonic fans. The 2010s, which was originally referred as the "Sonic renaissance", turned out to be the worst era for the Sonic franchise.
No interesting stories, underwhelming or bad gameplay, awful voice acting, terrible new characters, the overwhelming useage of Classic Sonic content, and Sega actively losing millions of money due to how the Sonic brand was doing at that time.
Forces was the culmination of these issues, which hit hard when 2017 is widely considered to be one of the best years of gaming with releases like Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Yakuza 0, Nier Automata, A Hat in Time, Gravity Rush 2, Resident Evil 7, Nioh 2, Hollow Knight, and Cuphead. Which gave Forces extra attention and criticism in the gaming industry since it's literally just a 2-3 hour tech demo for the HE2 than anything remotely resembling a actual product.
