  1. 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.

    Sonic is Back!!!!

    one of the best games out there this year full of fun and action accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. Do you also notice that some supposed ""experts"" gave it a 20 and that is supposed to be a professional critic?

    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 »
