Still looking way more forward to Mania than I am to Forces, but I don't have any issue with this whole custom character aspect of Forces, its pretty neat even if its not something I've ever personally looked for in a Sonic title.

Because they wants to remain an old fashion and
they do not know how to move forward.
Certainly true for the Sonic franchise as a whole, though it would seem that they might be starting to understand how to move forward. Not that this game looks particularly all that new for the franchise, and that Mania is just revisiting the Genesis games. But that is how they move forward on the 2D front for sure, fans have been wanting more Genesis Sonic titles for years, so thank god they finally got that memo.
But this game, I dunno, I don't have any problem with the custom character aspect of it, but it still doesn't feel like much new life is being injected into the 3D sonic titles. I'll at least give Sega kudos for trying time and time again to make each new 3D sonic game unique and fun, even though they failed more often than not. But at the end of the day it was the more straightforward Generations and Colors titles that really delivered on what fans had been wanting for years. Thing is, these are the Sonic titles without much of a gimmick, and its hard not to feel like if you've played Colors and/or Generations that there isn't much in Forces to really compel you to play what looks to be just more of the same.
Its weird how more of the same classic genesis Sonic is something that I'm very excited to welcome back in my life, while more of the same 3D Sonic just doesn't excite me in the way I was excited when Generations and Colors were first popping up on the scene. Perhaps its because the classic Genesis Sonic games haven't truly been revisited for many years, while Generations and Colors still feel pretty fresh.
