Sonic Forces (Johnsonverse)

Sonic Forces is a platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in November 2018. The story sees Sonic the Hedgehog joining a resistance force to stop Doctor Eggman, who has conquered the world by 99% alongside new villain Infinite. It features 3D gameplay similar to Sonic Unleashed (2008) and Sonic Colors (2010), as well as a mode featuring the "Avatar", the player's custom character.
The game was primarily developed by staff who had worked on Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, using an updated version of the Hedgehog Engine, used in Sonic Unleashed and Generations. Development began after the release of Sonic Lost World in 2013. The game was intended to have a darker tone compared to previous entries in the franchise, and the character creation system was inspired by Sonic fan art the developers had come across over the years. It was announced, alongside Sonic Mania, under the working title of Project Sonic 2018 during the Sonic 25th anniversary event at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con.
Sonic Forces received positive reviews from critics. They praised its plot, presentation, music, voice acting, character creation system, and gameplay.
