    This is THE Sonic game to play. It’s story is large and dips into Sonic lore a bit (Something we haven’t seen since Unleashed). It’s an open-zone playground with fun platforming and tricks to go on. The combat system is great and works really well with the enemies you fight in the game. The Boss fights are also a treat when you get to them, they’re probably the best the series has seen.This is THE Sonic game to play.

Overall it’s a very solid Sonic title and I definitely recommend giving this one a shot! Expand

    I love how this game improves the Sonic formula. The story is much better compared to Forces and I absolutely adore the new characters. I am so happy that SEGA finally made a good Sonic game after Generations.

    One of the best Sonic games I´ve played for a long time and I think Frontiers is also on my first place.
    Had the best 20 Hours of high-speed action, collecting stuff and solving puzzles.

    Has a few tiny shortcomings but the positives outweigh any negativity I could say, by far the best Controlling 3D Sonic in the past 15 or so years, and finally a good, engaging story, and holy damn... Super Sonic is the best he has ever been freaking EVER.

    OST also goes extremely hard but that's a given when it comes to Sonic.

    This is the sonic game I have been waiting for for 5 years and I am so happy with the result. There are some handling issues when sonic runs around the islands.

There are some issues with pop-in on consoles, but that is the fault of the hedgehog engine more than anything. I am so glad that the characters in this game don't have cringy stories and bad backgrounds, in this game sonic, tails, Amy, and knuckles all have amazing stories. The cutscene animation in terms of expressiveness and movement is amazing dare I say unleashed level. The combat in this game is great, there is a skill tree with many different combos and attacks that flow well in the game. The combat is not button-mashy. There are some minor bugs but I've gotta say sonic fans are eatin tonight. Sonic is back baby!!! Expand

    This game is what Sonic fans have been wanting for years. The game play is incredibly fun. The cyber space stages feel familiar and the layouts of older levels really rewards long time fans. The sense of speed and scale is very well done. Of course, the combat is also very well done. The power you feel by destroying enemies is very real.

    Alright, let's first start with the graphics. The graphics in this game are amazing, as a game should be in this era, this is definitely better looking than Sonic Unleashed which came out basically 14 years ago. Yes, it could look a bit better but knowing that SEGA had to make this game also run on the Nintendo switch comfortably is probably why. The Controls in this game in the Open ZoneAlright, let's first start with the graphics. The graphics in this game are amazing, as a game should be in this era, this is definitely better looking than Sonic Unleashed which came out basically 14 years ago. Yes, it could look a bit better but knowing that SEGA had to make this game also run on the Nintendo switch comfortably is probably why. The Controls in this game in the Open Zone (Open World) handle amazingly, also considering that you have a slider for the open world controls, you can customize it to whatever your liking is, my only gripe is that there's hardly any momentum in this game, and sonic is almost magnetized to the ground in some capacity, but knowing the developers probably had to limit sonics controls because they didn't want speed runners to beat this game faster than they already can. The controls in the Cyberspace stages aren't nearly as good as the controls in Generations or Unleashed, but considering they're supposed to be bite size like special stages, i can somewhat understand, since a lot more time was probably spent creating the open zone world. The characterization in the game is probably at its best, character interactions seem the most real the characters have ever been in a while, most likely how to Iann Flynn wrote them, let's hope he continues to write the stories for the next games. After beating the game there isn't much to do unless you haven't already collected all the memory tokens on every island and caught all the fish, which can in fact, take a while, but still somewhat of a letdown knowing there isn't a post-game content, hopefully they fix this with some dlc. The OST in this game is quite breathtaking, the soundtracks for the islands do make you feel immersed, and lonely in the world you're in, the soundtracks for the boss fights are as hype as they've ever been, truly this soundtrack is a Sonic fans fever dream come true. Overall, for Sonics first outing in this type of genre, sets up a very good foundation for what can come next, and i think SEGA did a great job. Not the best open world game, but again for Sonics first interaction in this type of gameplay style, it did great on all fronts. Expand

However, unfortunately, the game suffers from a lot of technical problems that occasionally interfere with the gameplay, so we are waiting for a patch.

    The most important thing is that Sonic Team has finally chosen the right direction for the development of the series. The game is already incredibly fun to play, so we can only hope that by the next part, all technical and other minor flaws will be cured and Sonic will return to the big league!

But, the pop-in is really aggravating, BUT you can just go on GameBanana and find mods to increase render distance, therefore reducing pop-in. The story is amazing, with all the intricacy in one singular bag. The secret boss is very easy once you memorize all of it's attacks, they also help you if you die too much on it, you go from 3 lives to 5 lives, very beneficial! Though I did not go there as once I memorized The End's attacks, I no damaged it. This game is just astronomical, in nearly every regard, hard to find games like that these days, which is no more than a detriment to how much fun you want to have IN a game. Glad there's some hope to be found. This being one of the main candidates.

    Looking forward to seeing more of this in the future. Also the game is huge. Been playing for nearly 15 hours now and still only on world 2.

    Critics are complaining about the pop-in but you soon realize those props are always available when you need them and the reason they are not showing is because they aren't part of that particular puzzle.

    I've played the game for 30 hours at the time of writing this and I have 100% everything in the game for my first play through and here's my review:

    The Game itself is a fantastic experience, The gameplay is fun, The story is fascinating and it expands upon the existing lore for long-time fans and it also hooks in new fans as well, The only problems I encountered in this game are as follows:

    one problem is the pop-ins, I don't think it's as bad as ruining the game but it's definitely noticeable, another thing is some bugs here and there that I'm pretty sure will be fixed and if not, they're not that common or game breaking except some that are kinda exploitable. Another thing that in my opinion could improve the game is a bit more balance in the game, fishing, for example, I think it's really good to have the option to buy vault keys and portal gears and etc directly from the fishing shop menu so that some players that are struggling with obtaining them in the normal way get to have them, But towards the end game it really gets OP, for example, I was defense level 40 and power level 45 and speed level 32 before entering the last island, and after one round of fishing in the last island, I was max level on all my stats! (max level is 99 for the 4 RPG stats)
    The balancing issue affects boss fights as well, some bosses I was able to halve their HP bar in 5 attacks! (I was playing on hard difficulty and high speed style gameplay for context)

    Now back to the good parts of the game, The soundtrack! Oh, the soundtrack! a single word, Awesome! everything about the soundtrack is just pure perfection! I enjoyed every single one of them, And I'm sure most sonic fans and new players are gonna also enjoy them.
    This game is a huge step in the right direction for Sonic Team and SEGA and I hope that Sonic Team can expand their team and SEGA gives them more budget to make even better games!
    I'm really excited about the future of this series and I really recommend you give this game a try!

    Sonic Frontiers isn’t perfect, but is still a fantastic step and jump dash in a new direction. The open zone has some blatant pop-in, but it’s only on certain objects, generally ones in the sky.

The gameplay loop is very solid, the controls are very smooth on the ground, but still need a bit of work in the air. Sonic is very inconsistent on when you try to fling him off a ledge. He may fly into the horizon, or stick to the ground like a magnet. Cyberspace flows well in the gameplay loop, but the reused assets and level design from previous games with unchangeable poor control makes these levels the weakest part of the game. The OST goes hard, piano in the overworld, EDM in Cyberspace, which is really good(and I don’t usually care for EDM), and insane vocal tracks in boss battles. While the ending could’ve used a bit more time, the story is one of the best in the series, and all of the voice actors bring Ian Flynn’s masterful writing to life, and make these characters feel like themselves for the first time in over a decade. The interactions are great and you can tell they really cared both about new fans and old. Not perfect, but still amazing. 8.5/10 Expand

    --Positives--
    -Ambitious open zone with lush environments and beautiful music to accompany it
    -Great physics, allows you to pull off speedy strats, especially with rails.
    -Serious story, with good mystery elements
    -Cyber Space levels, the linear levels in the game, are extremely fun to find speedrun strats with.
    -Amazing vocal themes. Won't spoil anything specific that hasn't been revealed, however:
    -I'm Here, the main theme, is absolutely amazing. Vandalize, one of 3 possible ending themes, is also really great.
    -Boss themes are genuinely perfect, please go through this game unspoiled to get the full experience.
    -Combat is really fun to combo with, especially on enemies like the Ninja class of robots, who are really fun to dodge and parry.
    -Boss fights are some of the most fun I've had with a video game in years. Please, save your game in the extra slots before them, to ensure that you can go back and replay these gems.

    --Negatives--
    - Cyber Space often reuses level aesthetics & designs. Up to you to decide if you prefer originality or fun.
    - After island 3, the game becomes slightly less visibly polished. Islands 4 & 5, (no spoilers) just seem like they were after thoughts. They're fun to play, but they feel less polished.
    - Story mystery is great, but the reveals are under cooked.
    - The different endings are locked behind difficulty, so it's kind of hard for players of certain skill levels to achieve certain endings.

    Verdict
    This game is great. It's really one of the best games this year so far. However, some poor decisions such as limiting the team to 60 people, have made the game fall short of a 9/10.
    Final Score: 8.6/10.
    The displayed score will be a 9, since I will round up. But I give it an 8.6.

Last Boss kinda sucks, but as a cohesive whole I'd rate this game a 9/10. It has its issues, 2D Cyberspace sucks, 3D Cyberspace is too stiff, and should have controlled, like the Open Zone.

Last Boss kinda sucks, but as a cohesive whole I'd rate this game a 9/10. It has its issues, 2D Cyberspace sucks, 3D Cyberspace is too stiff, and should have controlled, like the Open Zone. The pop in is rough, theres some jank in a lot of places especially in terms of animation, but I'd still rate it a 9/10 despite all these flaws.

    Took me roughly 20 hours to 100% the game, and I felt like that is the perfect length for this style of game.

    Combat was good, but could definitely be expanded upon in future entries. The red seeds of power make Sonic do way too much damage if you level up strength, so its hard to enjoy how good the combat is when enemies die too fast.

    Movement overall feels really good, and I like the accessibility options for it a lot. I would like the physics of the game to be closer to Adventures 1 & 2 , and I'd like the drop dash to control closer to the 3d spindash from those games, but in terms of just moving Sonic in the open zone he feels great.

    I hope future games also bring back the unleashed art style. Fix the art style , fix the jank, and keep this same tone, and direction for the story, and the next game could be an easy 10/10.

    One of the best Sonic games that I 'v ever experienced. Combat, cyberspace, story, characters. it's all very good. The only thing I had issues is with the pop-ins which needs to be fixed in the future but anyway, Sonic team great job

    -Interesting story
    -Sonic serious
    -Beautiful atmosphere
    -Fast yet precise gameplay
    -Both the cyberspace and the world are fun
    -Some textures and a few shadows are weak even on full graphics.

    this game is amazing the gameplay and story are amazing i only have 3 issues the koco minigames involving the rescued characters are annoying and the ending is somewhat dull and also PLEASE add a feature to replay the super sonic boss fights maybe in the arcade mode?

    After 7 hours of fantastic island exploration and the entire first island taking the same length to beat as Forces, I highly recommend this game. :) The largest hindrance is the physics in some of the cyberspace stages (especially among the platforms that spin you around) but for the most part even some of the cyberspace stages are well crafted and provide more challenge to S rank than IAfter 7 hours of fantastic island exploration and the entire first island taking the same length to beat as Forces, I highly recommend this game. :) The largest hindrance is the physics in some of the cyberspace stages (especially among the platforms that spin you around) but for the most part even some of the cyberspace stages are well crafted and provide more challenge to S rank than I would've imagined. So far I've encountered only 1 single music bug on a boss fight that kept playing after I died. SEGA should build on this formula for the next game but buy back the rights to the original Hedgehog Engine from Unleashed and Generations PLEASE.

    Summary:
    Pros: Islands and the things to do on them, Music, Atmosphere, Boss fights, even Story
    Cons: Physics
    Overall: 9/10

    Sonic's entry into new, for him, gaming paths is overall successful, despite any problems. With a little polish and attention to detail, the next game in the series has the foundations in place to finally look eternal rival Mario in his three-dimensional, bubbly eyes.

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