Sonic Clockwork

Updated logo by Exotoro
Sonic Clockwork is a game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, it is the second game in a duology made to celebrate Sonic's 30th anniversary, the first game in said duology being Sonic Limitless. Sonic Clockwork was developed by AlpacaSoft and Sonic Team for multiple consoles, those being the PC, PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and Nintendo Switch.
After the events of Sonic Limitless, Sonic awakens in a ravine surrounded by metallic debris, unable to remember what, to him, happened moments prior, so he sets off to find his friends, eventually meeting Eggman and his past self, Robotnik, and having to clash with them, along with a new mysterious villain, Chronos the Fox.
Unlike its direct predecessor, Sonic Clockwork is a fully 3D game with a more developed story, it has Sonic Forces' level system, where one zone has various stages to play through in a certain order as the story progresses.
== Gameplay ==
Sonic Clockwork is a 3D platformer focused on going quickly from one point to the other, much like all other 3D Sonic titles, in order to manouver quickly through levels, Sonic has a diverse moveset, he can homing attack if the player presses the jump button near a target, crouch and slide by pressing the dedicated button either at a stand-still or moving and, of course, boost at insane speeds.
The boost mechanic has an overhaul, since the Wisps are not present, Sonic simply must collect many rings to fill up the Boost Gauge, and boosting attracts rings to Sonic, refilling his gauge, so as long as there are rings nearby, which is often the case, the player is rewarded for keeping up their speed.
Sonic is not the only playable character in the game, later on, Tails and Knuckles appear and are playable in their own stages. As expected, Tails has the ability to fly and has a move from Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 of all games, the ring bomb, which stuns enemies, making them easier to jump on and properly defeat, and Knuckles can glide, climb walls rather quickly and punch enemies as opposed to having to jump on them, although that's still an option. In certain levels, the player will take control of either two characters or the full trio, being able to combine their abilities to progress through the stage.
The game's default mode is Story Mode, where the plot of the game takes place, but there are other modes, such as Time Attack, which allows the player to gain bonuses by simply beating a stage quickly, the Collection Room, where the player can listen to unlocked songs and see concept art, and the Options, which allow the player to change volumes, quality, etc.
== Plot ==
After the Death Egg Clockwork was destroyed by Super Sonic, the Time Cogs detonated, sending everyone in the vicinity into the distant future, where Sonic awoke in a grassy field, away from everyone and unable to remember what happened. Ahead was a ravine, so Sonic ran through it and arrived at the Green Plant, a huge facility for different types of eco-friendly energy.
Passing through Green Plant, Sonic reached a massive city, the Megalopolis, where people happily met and greeted him, Sonic then noticed a large statue of him and his friends, but atop Sonic's statue was a shady figure with large ears, a large tail an a dark cloak over their entire body. The figure jumped down and scared off the crowd around Sonic, questioning the blue hedgehog with things such as "Are you happy with your future?" and other intimidating phrases. In a split second, Sonic was farther away, on the ground, after being punched by this mysterious fox, then, in the blink of an eye, he had vanished as Sonic got himself back up and chased after him through the city, not being able to reach him, but eventually finding Tails in the outskirts of the Megalopolis.
Along with the rescued Tails, Sonic headed towards a massive mining facility located in Wild Crater, where the workers were being attacked by Dr. Eggman in his Egg Antlion, the hedgehog and fox duo faced off against Eggman and beat him, to which he flew away in his Egg Mobile. Soon, Sonic and Tails found Knuckles in the sand of Wild Crater's surface. With the full trio back together, they tried to return to the Megalopolis, when they heard an explosion from the opposite end of the desert, so they rushed over there.
Arriving at where they heard the explosion, the team was met with a city, ancient and falling apart, they made their way through the crumbling temples and found a massive altar with pillars, each of them having a cog shape carved into them, facing the platform at the center. The dark fox was there, awaiting the group, he then revealed who he was: Chronos, the guardian of time itself, and he believed that Sonic and friends did something to the Time Cogs in the distant past, Sonic had his companions stand back as he fought Chronos on his own.
