'''''Sonic Forces''''' is a 2017 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. It is a 3D entry in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series, acting as a follow-up to the 2D ''[[Sonic Mania]]''. The [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game was played by [[The D-Pad]] upon release, as the channel's 250th game, as well as the forty-sixth game in ''[[The Super Sonic Let's Play]]''. The playthrough commenced on November 8, 2017.

'''''Sonic Forces''''' is a [[2017]] platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Xbox One]], and [[PC]]. It is part of the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise, and a partial sequel to ''[[Sonic Mania]]'', released earlier in the same year. The gameplay, reminiscent of ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', allows for the player to control both "classic" and "modern" versions of Sonic, with the former's stages inspired by the 2D games, and the latter's by the 3D games. A third, unnamed character only referred to as the "Avatar", is customizable by the player, and has a unique playstyle inspired by the use of various tools and weapons. The plot, primarily set six months after the world was conquered by a group of villains led by Eggman and the mysterious Infinite, follows Sonic and his allies as they lead a resistance against Eggman. A DLC pack named "Episode Shadow", released the same day as the game, serves as a short prequel to the story, with the player controlling Shadow the Hedgehog.
 +
 
 +
''Sonic Forces'' was covered on ''[[The D-Pad]]'' before its release in an episode of ''[[The D-Pad Reacts]]'' focusing on its announcement trailer, released on July 26, 2016. The Nintendo Switch version of the game was then played in full upon its release, as the forty-sixth game in ''[[The Super Sonic Let's Play]]''. The LP consisted of 17 episodes; 16 covering the main story, and a bonus episode covering Episode Shadow, released on weekdays from November 8 to December 25, 2017.

  |ShortSummary = In a live-action intro, Rick and John briefly recap the last year of ''[[The Super Sonic Let's Play]]'', then introduce ''Sonic Forces'', discussing its development, story, characters, and connections to ''[[Sonic Mania]]''. In the game itself, Rick chooses to play on the hard difficulty setting, then watches the opening cutscene. He is thrown straight into the first level, Lost Valley. The stage is designed as a tutorial, so Rick completes it fairly easily. In a cutscene, Sonic is defeated by the team of past ''Sonic'' villains recruited by Eggman, which is followed by an abrupt six-month time jump, during which Eggman successfully takes over most of the world. After another cutscene, the character creation option is presented, and Rick hands over to Ben. Ben creates a brown cat modeled somewhat after Tonka, and the character is immediately introduced in a cutscene along with Knuckles. Following this, the level select screen is unlocked, and Rick enters the game's second stage.

  |ShortSummary = Rick plays through Spaceport, controlling the Avatar that Ben created. The character turns out to utilize a number of different gadgets to defeat enemies and navigate levels; Rick finds the amount of mechanics being thrown at him somewhat overwhelming, but still manages to complete the stage. The ability to customize the Avatar's outfit is unlocked; after messing around with a bit, Rick moves on to the next stage. In a cutscene, Tails is attacked by an enemy but saved by Classic Sonic, who Rick controls for the third stage. He plays through the stage, enjoying it considerably more than the first two, and manages to attain an 'S' rank for the first time. In a cutscene after the level, it is discovered that Sonic is being held captive at a rebuilt Death Egg.

Preceded by Sonic Mania
Followed by Sonic Shuffle

Sonic Forces is a 2017 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is part of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and a partial sequel to Sonic Mania, released earlier in the same year. The gameplay, reminiscent of Sonic Generations, allows for the player to control both "classic" and "modern" versions of Sonic, with the former's stages inspired by the 2D games, and the latter's by the 3D games. A third, unnamed character only referred to as the "Avatar", is customizable by the player, and has a unique playstyle inspired by the use of various tools and weapons. The plot, primarily set six months after the world was conquered by a group of villains led by Eggman and the mysterious Infinite, follows Sonic and his allies as they lead a resistance against Eggman. A DLC pack named "Episode Shadow", released the same day as the game, serves as a short prequel to the story, with the player controlling Shadow the Hedgehog.

Sonic Forces was covered on The D-Pad before its release in an episode of The D-Pad Reacts focusing on its announcement trailer, released on July 26, 2016. The Nintendo Switch version of the game was then played in full upon its release, as the forty-sixth game in The Super Sonic Let's Play. The LP consisted of 17 episodes; 16 covering the main story, and a bonus episode covering Episode Shadow, released on weekdays from November 8 to December 25, 2017.
