    I love it! The world is sooooooo huge. There is a vast world to discover. A lot of things to do. A very intriguing story. I recommend it. I would put a 9.5, because of the pooping, but we don't have that option on metacritic, so I'll put a 10.

    Currently my favorite Game of 2022 and the most fun Sonic game I played in years. It‘s a great foundation for future installment. The Graphics Engine needs to be updated though for this type of direction. It needs Distance View and higher geometry detail on environmental objects to make sceneries more astonishing when discovering new places.

    Wow...
    So, uh... this game is Amazin'?

    I did not expect to love this as much as I did, and this is comin' from someone that Loved Sonic Forces!
    But this game is just on another level!
    Everythin', the Story, the OST, the Cutscenes, the Gameplay, The Bosses... there wasn't a single thing I disliked 'bout this one, and I'm still in awe on how much this made me feel good!

    What an absolutely phenomenal experience. Very legitimately the best Modern Sonic experience we’ve ever gotten. This game is more than just a good Sonic game, it’s a great game in general.

This game is more than just a good Sonic game, it’s a great game in general.

    The story is amazing, and the deepest dive into Sonic lore we’ve had since the Adventure era, which I really appreciated. Sonic lore is deep and rich, and I’m glad we’re back to exploring it instead of ignoring it.

    Gameplay was something I was worried about when the first trailers and showings dropped, and I was very happily surprised to find that the Open-Zone formula is near perfect. The player finally has the freedom they crave as Sonic, and can traverse the zones and game as they please, which is a very welcomed change of pace.

    There is a very rich feeling of progression to the game. As you play it more and more, upgrading Sonic's stats and learning the Zones and the different means of exploring them becomes second nature. There's a level of fluidity here that we've never seen in a mainline Sonic title, and it's extremely satisfying.

    The amount of content in the game is also a huge surprise to me. The initial showings of the game had me worried the game was only going to have large open areas with nothing to do in them, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The fact that my first 100% play through of this Sonic game was 21 hours long is amazing and goes to show just how much there is to do here.

    All in all, this game is amazing and I highly recommend everyone give it a chance. It really feels great knowing that this game is as good as it is!

Not only can you run around the open world to progress through this amazing story, you can go through the cyberspace which acts as little bite sized levels that help you get the chaos emeralds. You can go fishing, just run around and have fun, level yourself up, speedrun, there's so many things to do. The combat feels so satisfying to use and just leaves you feeling good. And the story/dialogue is all amazing, characters feel like themselves again. And the dynamic between the pure evil eggman and his daughterly type love with the naive sage is amazing, it's just so wholesome. The super Sonic bosses are epic too, everything about this game is amazing… Expand

    Sonic Frontiers brings back the old Dreamcast days of Sonic Adventure Hub Worlds And Generations Styled Levels and make them very refreshed and refined for a new generation. though some parts can be a pain sometimes this game wants you to keep on going to get to the ending of the fantastic story this is up their with Super Mario Odyssey 100/100

    You can also upgrade Sonic, you can upgrade his strength, speed, ring capacity and defense!

    The story is the best out of the whole franchise, and the voice acting is very good, Roger Craig Smith did an amazing job as the voice of Sonic!

    The music in this game is incredible and it's the best music in the entire franchise!

    The Super Sonic fights against the Titans were amazing and some of the best fights in a video game!

The controls are excellent, the design of the islands are immaculate with loads of fun challenges to do, the story is outstanding with top-tier writing from Ian Flynn of the IDW comics, the game-play is fantastic with lots of variety coupled with an awesome new combat system and some of the most PHENOMENAL boss fights in all of gaming, and the music throughout is GOD TIER with a beautiful mix of orchestral piano themes and some of the HEAVIEST Metal tracks of the whole series!!

    It legitimately upsets me to see some outlets low-balling it and giving it a much lower score than it deserves! Don't listen to outlets like 7GN & Digital Trends, this game is absolutely worth the $60-70!

    Sure it has pop-in issues and sure the Cyberspace stages are reused themes and assets, but honestly all the incredible aspects far outweigh the negatives!

    Easily a Top 3 Sonic game alongside Mania and Adventure 2! Cannot recommend it highly enough!!    … Expand

    The game is the largest among the creations of Sonic Team. Everything in it is done on top, except for the plot, but this is not a reason to lower the rating.

    Sonic Frontier is a very fast-paced game on a huge map. And it is an open world 3D action RPG game. Ninja, Naruto, Inuyasha, Sekiro, Ookami, and Son Goku such as Ninja, Naruto, Goku, etc. are the best in this game where you can run at super fast speeds and have fun fighting.

    While there is a bit of jank. This game definitely captures the feel of Sonic and is such a love letter to fans of the franchise! All of the great things about this title outweigh the minor flaws and Sega definitely poured their heart and soul into this game, it clearly delivers as the greatest Sonic game I have ever played

    Loving this game. It ain't perfect, but, this is definitely the kind of direction Sonic games should be moving in. The next game in the series should be open world and cyberspace again, but the open world should be based on sonic levels graphics. Not lifelike vistas. It looks and feels a bit weird. Sonic style art all through the game.

Sonic hasn't felt this fluid and vivid since Unleashed or Generations and is a very solid base for what is to come. If Sonic Team decides to work out the flaws this game still has and adds more content, this is a potential Goty winner in my opinion.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is so weird of a game, but it's GOOD. At times it feels less Sonic-y but then reminds you exactly what it is. It's a massively more mature (not nsfw) installment in writing and acting. Ian Flynn did an incredible job with the story and dialog. The performances are a stark contrast to the over the top and annoyingly cartoony voices like Sonic Heroes, etc.

    It's FUN. The combat rules and feels great, the speed and leveling/upgrade system feel awesome. The ability tree is simple and cool.

    This is the best installment in years. This feels like what Sonic Adventure/2 could have been with adventure fields.

    My only complaint is that cyberspace levels feel a tad short, but even then I think if they were longer it may be less fun.

    If you love Sonic, if you love open world action, if you love platformers, I highly recommend picking this up.    … Expand

    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.
