To my surprise and delight, one of 2017's very best video games is made by none other than Sonic Team. Yup, that Sonic Team - the developer formerly known as Sega AM8, the one behind behind Sega's iconic mascot and the very same studio that's been by the hedgehog's side through the good times and the bad.
You will likely not be surprised to discover, however, that that game is not Sonic Forces. Not unless something special happens between now and launch, that is.
So yes, Sonic Team's Puyo Puyo Tetris is a many splendored thing that's devoured countless hours of my time since it came out in March (and yes, you beautiful pedants, it did come out originally in 2014, but the localised version didn't arrive on these shores until this year). It's a puzzle game of marvellous depth and glorious colour that melds two classics together with winning style. Sonic Forces, however - going by a recent short cross-section that highlights its three distinct parts - is a fairly limp tread through Sonic old and new that introduces an all-new flavour likely to leave a lingering bad taste.
