That said, Infinite is still a cool villain, and a great addition to Sonic’s rogues gallery as a reality-warping foe whose abilities contrast the physical and athletic abilities of Sonic. But it’s refreshing to see the game borrow elements from other media. The intriguing premise unfortunately doesn’t stick the landing, especially since Infinite doesn’t feel like the right villain for the story, and his Replicas (duplicates of Sonic’s greatest past enemies) feel shoe-horned into the mix. Eggman has succeeded in taking over the world and a group of freedom fighters struggle to take it back with Sonic’s help. Though the game suffers from sparse level design, repetitive boss fights, and leaving behind its initial dark tone, the story is more or less pulled right out of the fan-coveted Archie Sonic comics.
Sonic Forces isn’t well received, mainly for dropping the ball and not fully committing to some of its ambitions, but the title is filled with bold choices.

Sonic Boom is far from being perfect (or even playable), but it stands as one of the most important Sonic games for the outstanding designs across the board and for the impact it could have made on the series with the proper time and care to execute its vision. The characters are almost elastic, with faces that squash, stretch, and exaggerate in ways that had not been seen since Adventure and Riders, where the technology could not keep up with ambition. Sonic Boom has a lot of issues, but it features some of the most expressive animation, and possibly the best, of any Sonic game. It may not have reached the ambitious heights it aimed for, but with the right amount of time and care, Boom could have been something great.
Sonic Boom was unafraid to try something new: It’s a hybrid speed platformer, a character-switching puzzle platformer, an open-world hub, and a brawler, all in one. It may seem bold and outright bonkers to include Sonic Boom in a list of most impactful Sonic games, but hear me out. So in honor of Sonic’s 30th anniversary, I’ve carefully considered and listed the 15 most impactful Sonic games of all time. Some are so bold that they’ve changed the franchise, or even gaming as a whole, for the better. But behind those flaws exist brilliant and creative ideas from Sega and the Sonic Team. With camera problems, pacing issues, and game-breaking glitches, they have a poor reputation of being rough around the edges.
