Well, as character creation goes, Forces was all right. Not nearly as many options as I'm used to, tho. Heck, I think you can play as more races in an Elder Scrolls game than you can in Sonic Forces. Still, it was fun to play around with, but I think they missed a trick by now having such a obvious species as fox or, yeah, even echidna, honestly. Though, I guess Sega's pretty hardline on the idea that Knuckles is The Last Echidna these days.
But, yeah, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't create my fursona (she's a fox), but I made a wolf character I was very pleased with. You should be able to see her below.
