    While Sonic Frontiers has its fair share of issues, I can honestly and confidently say that it is the best Sonic game I've played and one that provides a ton of fun throughout.

    Messy, overcomplicated and slow to start, but fun once it picks up speed.

    As a 3D Sonic a step in the right direction. The open world has a lot to offer but gets lost in redundancy.

    Sonic Frontiers is a really bizarre video game. Don't set your expectations too high and it's a fun time zipping around a few open zones. Yet, it's a deeply annoying and incredibly janky experience if you want to inject some urgency into Sonic and get him from point A to point B with precision and purpose. In many ways, it's a great foundation for a sequel, as there's so much potential here which only needs a bit of fine-tuning to get Sonic from simple to super.

    Definitely the best game in the franchise since sonic generations (better than generations if you ask me) The game definitely has problemsDefinitely the best game in the franchise since sonic generations (better than generations if you ask me) The game definitely has problems such as pop-in, camera issues, and other various bugs (may be fixed in a patch soon) but the pros outweigh the cons by a long shot. The story is great and well written definitely the best story since sonic unleashed. The game play and core mechanics are really fun although the game is a bit janky. Sonic frontiers is definitely a good game and lays the ground work for the future of the franchise and I can't wait to see where it goes on from here… Full Review »
